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.

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.

A waste of money and time... do not attempt to watch this rushed garbage... Horrible all around... poor everything. You have to wonder how "so called movies" like this even make it, or are even allowed to be advertised. Sucks cause any rich kiddo can waste our time with crap like this...and that is exactly what this movie is!

If you're not a fan of B-Grade movies and/or can't appreciate the comedy in apparent cheesy acting and scenes, or if you want to compare this to Weird Science, you should read no further you will hate this movie. If you don't tick all those boxes you should really give this a try. Get relaxed in your preferred method and have a laugh. My rating is taking into consideration that it is low budget and intentionally cheesy in spots.

"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.
