Star Cast: Zac Efron, Emily Ratajkowski, Shiloh Fernandez, Alex Shaffer, Jonny Weston, Wes Bentley etc
Genre: Drama
Verdict: Poor
Max Joseph has come up with a very disappointing fare in his debut directorial offering, We Are Your Friends, about a struggling DJ Cole (Zac Afron).
Plot: Set in the world of electronic music & Hollywood nightlife, an aspiring 23 year old DJ named Cole (Zac Afron) spends his days scheming with his childhood friends and his nights working on the one track that will set the world on fire. All of this changes when he meets a charismatic but damaged older DJ named James (Wes Bentley), who takes him under his wings. Things get complicated, however, when Cole starts falling for James’ much younger girlfriend, Sophie (Emily Ratajkowski). With Cole’s forbidden relationship intensifying and his friendships unraveling, he must choose between love, loyalty, and the future he is destined for.
Aces: Zac Afron’s riveting performance as a DJ and of course the original sound tracks (OST).
Minuses: The constant beeps and most of the scenes mercilessly mutilated by the Censors scissors.
Last Word: We Are Your Friends is strictly recommended for Zac Afrons die hard fans and others just stay away.
