A Midsummer Night's Rave (2002)

Life begins when the sun goes down for a group of party-prone friends attending an L.A. rave. The music starts and the dream begins as partygoer Puck gives them each a sample of his new "love potion". This glowing green liquid fuels their inner desires and allows the friends to connect with their long secret loves during the night of dancing, lights, and unadulterated fun. Will a drug deal gone bad ruin the evening or can the uplifting mood of the rave along with Puck’s potion bring out the best in everyone? The weather is hot, the music is pounding, the mood is electric and the stakes are high in this modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s most popular play.

To be or not to be...in love.

This movie is about to be true to yourself and honest about your feelings; is about being in love and discovering more about it...
People who love Andrew Keegan will enjoy this movie.
It is a successful achievement by the young and charming cast.

What you expect is what you get...

It's a decent movie for what it is... a glimpse of a typical rave with no preachy overtones, or too much of a plot to get in the way. Just be in the right state of mind and it is a good watch.

Production, writing, and acting well done to simulate the rave atmosphere where the music takes over and the social rules don't apply anymore. Such as conversation scene on dance floor with Damon, Elena, Mia, and Xander trying to communicate (and not doing so). And the fast talking girl rolling and falling in love is almost as real as it gets, along with the self realization when Nick is sketching out after getting double dosed (and makes the perfect reference to the shakespeare classic).

Best indside joke - Xander: "It gets good milage", on why he drives a miata September 15, 2007

Midsummernight's hangover

I bought a series of movies that have something to do with nightclubbing and raving and expected to find one of the better kind when I bought this movie ... but It was a weak copy of a much better movie I saw which is 'Groove!' ... Not good, I'm sorry. August 31, 2007

Like the idea... not so much on the execution

Well, where to begin... I wasnt a fan of any of the actors too much, but I've got to admit I like the idea of Midsummer set at a rave and ecstacy is what Puck is peddling. I needed this movie to compare with the Stanley Tucci version for a class project and I would HIGHLY reccomend the Stanley Tucci version. Its not updated, but sometimes you gotta ask yourself why update Shakespeare? Im not saying im utterly against it, but is it necessary in each case? May 13, 2007

Decent Redo

The only real problem I had with this movie was the sound quality. The actors and acting was great. The screenplay was an interesting new twist on an old classic. Midsummer Night's Dream is one of my favorite Shakespeare comedies. The music at the rave was spotty at best. Granted this was an indie film so music was the last on the budget and the first thing cut, they did a great job. The extra features are boring but the film is great. August 10, 2006
