Yesterday, the highly anticipated trailer to the DJ movie We Are Your Friends was released, and as expected, a lot of people weren’t happy. Many DJs and industry professionals made no hesitation to voice their opinions about the film. On a scale of 1 to bad idea, pretty much everyone agreed that We Are Your Friends fell somewhere between Armada releasing a Borgore track and Hardwell’s “Sally”. Just in case you missed it, we highlighted some of our favorite reactions to the trailer.
Who wants to make a bet that zac efron wears headphones the entire movie of We are Your Friends

Every part of this We Are Your Friends trailer is 100% truth. Especially the part where I keep all my $$ in an Adidas shoe box

One producer sees a light at the end of the tunnel, though:
If I was 14 or 15 today and an aspiring DJ, I'd love a movie like We Are Your Friends. I can totally see that.

See, to me, it's only now that I see how mellow the original Karate Kid movie was. But as a kid it sure motivated me to take up Karate.

@LaidbackLuke couldn't agree more. Too many old ass DJs bitter that Hollywood/young generation are excited about DJing.
