How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:49

Fresh:27

Rotten:22

Average Rating:6.1/10

Consensus: Though high on energy and great techno tunes, Groove's characters and plotlines are too cliched to be engaging.

Runtime: 86 mins

Genre: Dramas

Synopsis: San Francisco's rave scene is exposed in this exciting independent drama from writer-director Greg Harrison. Colin Turner invites his brother David, a struggling writer, to a party named GROOVE,... San Francisco's rave scene is exposed in this exciting independent drama from writer-director Greg Harrison.

The fresh-faced cast of newcomers and edgy, restless camerawork make up for the script's inherent predictability.

It's a fun night, even if this party lacks Go's cleverness and stars.

The words don't mean much, but it has got a good beat and you can dance to it.

While Groove -- the story is pretty limp, Groove -- the slice of life examining today's counterculture is far better realized.

The film's cast does little to offset Harrison's insecurity behind the camera.

A little bland, but it puts you in the mood to forgive it: relaxed and mellow and accepting.
