We Are Your Friends (2015) Zac Efron - Movie Reviews

Set in the San Fernando Valley, California -- the hot, generally less desirable section of L.A, over the Hollywood Hills where the porn industry, strip malls, sushi houses, and more affordable housing exists for Los Angelinos -- We Are Your Friends (the title seems inspired by the song of the same name by the French electronic music duo Justice featured in the film) follow four twenty-something male friends looking for nothing all that serious except a way to make a quick buck and bed as many of the local beauties as possible. Zac Efron stars as Cole Carter, a talented aspiring DJ who has found little success except to rock the house at parties and clubs in the 818, where he and his buds end up playing mostly for free drinks and random hook-ups. Cole's looking to make that one awesome song that he's sure will propel him into a full-fledged, globe-hopping career in the EDM (Electronic Dance Music) industry. He draws inspiration when he meets James Reed, a superstar DJ who has already lived the life Cole has always dreamed of, from his success on the turntables, his travels, his wealth, and even his superhot personal assistant/girlfriend, Sophie. James does some semi-mentoring of the lad to get him to see beyond his formulaic tracks, but tension soon forms when Cole thinks James is selling out his success with lack of vision and stability in his life, and his love.
