Groove Reviews
This techno-propelled mash note to the rave spirit sticks to the surface, but it burrows just far enough inside its young, confused, pleasure-seeking characters to make us care how they greet the dawn.

The fresh-faced cast of newcomers and edgy, restless camerawork make up for the script's inherent predictability.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2001
If this movie achieves anything, it makes you realize how dull parties really are.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 11, 2001
A curiously dorky act of hipster sincerity, less party movie than cheesy valentine.

Achieves its high by tapping into the real thing -- the wonder of making movies.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000
One gets the impression that going to a rave is a lot more fun than watching one. (And avoiding raves altogether seems like an even better plan.)
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Like drug movies from the 1960s, it's naive, believing that the problems of the straight life can be solved by dropping out and tuning in.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000
Likable and energetic, basically artificial, and quite a bit of fun.

What's infectious about Groove is the friendly, almost innocent way that its brat pack of digital-age bohemians seek liberation in a world where there is nothing left to rebel against.
| Original Score: B | Jan 1, 2000
In its very reluctance or inability to be the rave film as opposed to a love note to the scene, Groove kind of gets it right.

Nothing new, but cliches are cliches because they work.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
A little bland, but it puts you in the mood to forgive it: relaxed and mellow and accepting.

Shambling but mostly knowing and funny.

By the end ... we're wishing the lot of them would either overdose or go to bed.
| Jan 1, 2000
Manages to both capture the spirit of a counterculture and reflect on the essentially conventional lives of those who lose themselves in the buzz.
