iGirlfriend

"Simon" (Dalton Edward Phillips) and "Peg" (Tony Vespe) are two high school nerds who are essentially shunned by all of the girls and bullied by some of the boys. So, to masquerade their loneliness, Peg convinces Simon to create an iPhone app which can trick those around them into thinking they each have a real girlfriend. Yet even though it works to a certain degree at first, when Simon accidentally spills a highly potent energy drink onto his laptop in the process, a young woman named "Lilly" (Kelsey Pribilsky) is created who simply adores him. But when Peg decides to upgrade Lilly's qualities, things rapidly spiral out-of-control. Now rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film started off in the right direction but took a wrong turn about halfway through and ended with a twist that left me greatly disappointed. That being said, while I strongly recommend the movie "Weird Science" which parallels this film to a certain degree, I cannot do the same for this particular picture, and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

I don't typically write reviews, and I'm also typically not a fan of the indie or low budget scene, but I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by this flick.

I mostly watched it because the premise sounded interesting, and yes at the start it didn't feel as though it really built relatable background that allowed us to feel drawn into the story.

However, after the first 2/3 way through I actually found myself having a good time, and the scenes near the end (no spoilers, but it was when they started 'tweaking' the new creation), they were actually pretty engaging, funny and enjoyable.

A few nods to decent acting, mostly what you would except for this budget, though a big nod out to some great acting by Kelsey Pribilski (Lilly). Elvis Clark as Bash was quite decent, as were most of the female cast, though tbh they had more of a supporting role so easier to carry all the way though.

Overall, I actually found this was a pretty great flick for the price tag, and if the plot interests you then ignore the budget and give it a go.

It came across like a "Weird Sience" rip off (which it actually is!) and this movie is bad, the acting is bad, like i said, the story itself is a rip-off. Don't waste your time!

Horrible movie that makes absolutely no sense.

Is there a way to give a movie zero stars? Total waste of time. Horrible filming, unbelievable plot. Just No.

The movie has a bad written script: few crucial lines, scenes are delivered to the audience directly through the lines of the characters, whithout any subtle signals in the actions. Also, the director has made a few wrong choices in the way the cameras are placed on the set for most of the scenes, using only 1 or 2 angles. Moreover, the voices of the characters sound as they've been placed after the filming, recorded in the studio. The actors seem bored, tired and uncomfortable with each others and the characters they are playing. The backround music seems to have been downloaded from a cheap website with free :30 secs recordings of some alternative music. The figuration seems to be unaware of what they are supposed to do, and so do the secondary actors after they've said their lines, looking vaguely at the floor. Therefore, dear IMDB, I strongly believe that this movie, which I watched as a joke, should be taken off of IMDB, as it is written that it is a comedy, but the only funny things happening in this joke of a movie are the Retrica filter applied to each scene and the POOR plot twist that made no sense. please
