Amazon.co.uk Review
Parties are not always as fun as they look like they should be. Case in point: Groove. The distinction lies in the realm between watching people have fun and actually having fun. Set in San Francisco over the course of one night, this is the story of a rave, plain and simple. Preparation includes inhabiting an empty warehouse, finding the power supply and sending out coded invitations. The film kicks in as the party does, when people start arriving and the DJs start spinning. There's a nice moment early on when a cop shows up asking for the owner of the building, who is then taken on a tour of "a new Internet start-up". It becomes even funnier when the cop turns out to be smarter and more compassionate than anyone would expect. Writer-director Greg Harrison cleverly focuses the story on David, a novice who's never been to a rave before, which breaks the story out of what could have been the suffocating, insular world of rave culture. Unknowingly dosed by someone, David is adopted by Layla, an attractive but lonely East Coaster who has begun to regret her party lifestyle. Other characters include a guy who's just proposed to his girlfriend, a college teaching assistant selling his own manufactured drugs, a DJ who gets to meet his idol and a gay couple having trouble finding the party. If the characters turn out to be just character types, that's OK because the film itself floats by on its own high-octane enthusiasm. Groove is light and frothy entertainment with a beat you can dance to. --Andy Spletzer, Amazon.com

this movie shows how a group semi-bohemian dudes and dudettes rebel in a rave party, in a time where there is nothing to rebel against since the world is complete and delicately organized. The fact that John Digweed has its moment of glory in this movie, making everyone revive and feel the natural ecstasy of the moment when someone loses everything and then recovers everything its admirable.i recommended to all of us ravers, clubbers, bohemians, hippies that still believe in the peace, love, unity and respect of the world's community
Clubbers - must not miss! October 1, 2001

This film is to clubbing what Saturday night fever was to Disco! Non- clubbers might not find it too entertaining though. The music is blinding, the film is worth watching just for the soundtrack! The story line is not by any means rocket science, this is one of those films that you can watch and enjoy without having to concentrate too hard. This film would be great to watch at about 3am when you've just got in from a wicked night out and you're not quite ready to call it a day!

Decadence, chill-out, pumping out, openness, anything in a way you feel that you are grooving. Short but enough...U all will love it...
