People You May Know

Yes I am taking the mick in case the title misleads you.

Another hollow and tedious movie based around social media. Its a worn out thread already; pass me the recycle bin.

As boring, repetitive, time wasting and bereft of honesty as most of social media actually is in reality.

Watching this movie is as pointless and meaningless as posting your life on facebook, twitter and wasting hours of non-productive time arguing with people you dont even know and trying ever so hard to gain your portion of "confirmation" as they call it on social media. Don't get me wrong, I've been there myself but there is a time when you wake up and realise you are wasting your life and precious time on people you have never met and will never meet and that the whole thing is merely another distraction from the joys of actually living but movies like these try to hoodwink you into believing the hype!

The fact that they actually mention in the movie that over 3/4's of the USA never read a book last year says it all and is virtually the only interesting piece of dialogue in the entire movie!

Good acting from the cast but that cannot save a totally pointless script and dull movie.

What seemed to start as an interesting idea, developed thereafter into something almost boring. I like the plot, it's intriguing. But it misses some points. The cast should have played more with the script and others things to make it more enjoyable. It turned out to be fairly messy.

This film was as predictable as it was irrelevant...and that's pretty much the most positive thing I can say about it. The cliche' of a gay man being "tricked" to sire a child by his straight female friend has been done many times before...and as in the case of "the Wedding Banquet" 20+ years ago in far superior quality. This film was just really a bunch of people whining/complaining in very long-winded monologues...as if the writer was literally allowing the actors to get lengthy soundbites for their own demo reels. The issue here is none of these monologues (or characters) is interesting...as in remotely. I added an extra star as Mark Cirilo (who only has one "gay voice" and thus possesses the range of an on/off switch) kept his clothes on in this film.

What an absolute waste of my time. I should have known better from the synopsis. i couldn't work out what the message was. Being a Social media film, surely i was supposed to face a moral dilemma. Whoever funds these films please stop. Absolute nonsense.

Remember those old movies, where there were good guys and bad guys? yeah, this isn't one of them... every character is good, just misunderstood. but they all have good intentions, and/or they're fighting against past trauma.

social media comes out great, too. it's good to have a profile and "be yourself" on it. as much as possible.

it's an enjoyable film, but a bit too patronizing, and at times nauseating, if you think about it. its makers were perhaps hoping it'd get adopted by certain websites as a promotional tool. but it wasn't. boo-hoo.
