I first put on this film because I thought it was one of those films which had a ton of sex in it, well boy was I wrong aha. As I continued to watch the film I was sucked into it, getting to know the characters and really feeling like a part of this movie. The flashing lights, amazing music really got me going for this movie I was in a trance and no matter what I did I had to keep watching. However what attracted me most of all and forced me to stay was the absloutely huge amount of passion and love for the excellent EDM music, it was all there and as real as day its self I could even see it in the actors that the music was different, something special. I don't want to drone, on but I could for hours, but watching this movie gave me a new and positive outlook on life and I would watch it a million times over if I could. If there was one last night on earth all i'd ever want if to watch XOXO because i't make me feel..... happy again.

Watched XOXO with Sarah Hyland(Modern Family) as Krystal ,Graham Phillips(Staten Island Summer Camp) as Ethan Shaw, Brett DelBouno(Primrose Lane) As Tariq ,Hayley Kiyoko(Jem And The Hologram) as Shanni, Collin Woodell() as Ray, Kelly Marie Tran(College Humor Originals) as Butterfly Rave Girl, Ryan Hansen(Veronica Mars) as Avilo,Chris D'Elia(Undateable) as Neil, Ian Anthony Dale(The Hangover) as Anders . I admit this was an interesting watch while I admit im not a Raver it was cool how the six converging Stories where all about a concert also it was interesting the characters weren't badly written they were Likable Interesting Perspective On Rave Culture.Great Costume Design By Caroline McAlister(The Standoff)and Score By Aaron Drake(Gravity) ,Cinematography by Damian Acevedo(Fairly Legal) and Amazing Direction by Christopher Louie(Lucky) Interesting Perspective On Rave Culture 7/10

As someone who attends these festivals and enjoys this type of music and the lifestyle, I thought it was a good attempt at depicting the culture but it was just cheesy and didn't depict it accurately at all. It's a hard culture to embody and I think only documentaries do that. But I'm sure someone who hasn't been exposed to most of the culture would probably find it entertaining. It was just kinda like the cliché storyline and pretty predictable how boy meets girl, etc. I found the narratives and interactions to be like a G rated movie with some F bombs and drug use in it. I definitely won't be watching this again. I'm no film industry guru by any means but I can detect bad acting and poorly flowing story lines when I see them.

This is a short and sweet movie with an infectious positive feel and a great soundtrack. It's an easy watch that is good fun with some laugh out loud moments. XOXO is not blow your mind amazing but worth a watch on a lazy day. The acting is pretty good and there are some beautiful visuals involved. Especially good if you've been to a festival as it shows festivals for the drug crazy mad places that they often are, just with a lot more mud than in this movie! XOXO handles the multiple story lines quite well, but more emphasis on the older guy's story would be better.Some finer details in the plot seemed to be brushed over but it's understandable as there are multiple plots occurring. Overall this is one of the best things Sarah Hyland has done outside of Modern Family.
