Not Okay

I think they unexpectedly gave the middle finger to their own generation with this flick. It was an interesting window into teen and young adult life today just as much as Fast Times or Breakfast Club were our generations mirror on the Zeitgeist at that time.

Obviously, this movie was painful and hateable at first. The main character is awful - they tell you that before it even starts. But by the end you just might feel something. She grows, in more ways than you expect. Give it a chance.

I've stopped watching a lot of movies and shows before finishing them, so I know the temptation. This one is worth finishing.

Not sure about why there's so much hate here. I get why they make a movie like this. It teaches that likes are often lies or bought. Social media is fake. And also that real relationships are deeper when you make real bonds, and not thru social media.

It was very well directed, and the dark-comedy satirical writing hit some good notes by actress turned newb writer and director Quinn Shephard. Although the pacing was decent, the 100 min runtime could've used some tweaking to cut out at least 10 mins. Casting and performances were all great, but the standout performance goes to the lovely Zoey Deutch, who stole every scene she was in. It's a fun and funny one-time watch with some actual laugh out loud moments, and a few heart-wrenching ones, when the power of social media seriously affects peoples lives. It gets a heart and seven thumbs-up emojis from me.

This is one of those super empty movies that you forget 2 days later that you even watched it. The acting is mostly but the story could have been sooo much more. Instead, it felt cringey like 90% of the time. It definitely had so much potential. Things got real bad for her in the end, I get it, but honestly they should have gotten way worse. I feel like we barely just scratched the surface of how bad things could have gotten for her.

I do think that the story was very original. We really do live in a social media consumed world. Influencers are portrayed as the vapid empty creatures that they are. But that's also the problem - it's showing all these stereotypes and it's making fun of them but it's doing such a bad job at it that the movie ends up being the butt of the joke. If you're going to make fun of something bad at least do a good job at it. Otherwise you're going to look even worse than the very bad thing you've making fun of. I guess no one told the writers that... Oh, well. Here goes another movie no one will be talking about 2 weeks from now.
