There are highs and lows here, with a fair amount of shoe leather required before you get to the good stuff. Pretty much like a real festival, appropriately enough.

After his girlfriend breaks up with him at their college graduation, Nick is heartbroken. Luckily, his best friend Shane has the perfect idea to cheer him up: attending an epic music festival. Together, the two friends embark on three days of music, drugs, and chaos.

What are critics saying?
Very soon, O’Doherty will be the headline act in comedies like these, but this good-natured crowdpleaser generously lets her steal whole stretches.
The Observer (UK) by Simran Hans
It delivers its “lessons” with a light touch, allowing Nick a couple of moments of genuine, relatable pathos... but encouraging the audience to take his self-loathing with a pinch of salt.
The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton
Unashamedly formulaic and relentlessly puerile, The Festival is no better than it needs to be, which may be as much commercial calculation as artistic limitation.
