You Get Me

This was your standard simple obsession thriller film. You knew how things were going to end up and it was predictable. Besides the eye candy as major draws nothing else is alluring about this film. It might have done better if it was made about 30 or so years ago but today it falls short.

This is pretty mediocre and bad.

First the acting is regular at best.

Second the story is nothing revolutionary or anything.

And most important, this doesn't bring anything new and is full of all the typical clichés and movie tropes.

Unless you like obviously predictable movies don't watch this mediocre film

PROS: Besides the movie being complete garbage it was marketed well and made out to be amazing. You can tell a movie is bad when the only pros are with the advertising and impressions of the movie. Although there were many things wrong with the film the way the movie appeared to be great which will get many people to watch it, which is good.

CONS: For starters the main guy character ticked me off so much. Myself being an actor makes me have such high expectations for other actors in movies. I could tell that the main male character had so much more to give, and he didn't give it. This made my blood boil because it's your job as an actor to give 110% of yourself to the film, but he probably only gave 60%. The other thing that can be said for YOU GET ME is how much of a failure the ending was. The entirety of the movie I was waiting and waiting for the end to grip me and captivate me like the rest of the film couldn't, but instead all I got was the most basic of resolutions. I'm not going to tell you what happens, but I will say is that it is like every other movie ever. To add on, everything was so all over the place. There was never a central viewpoint, which is what made the film loose direction. There was just so little credibility to the plot, which made for a poor poor movie.

And why did I sit through it? I have been a user of IMDb for years but never bothered to sign in to write a review. This movie compelled me to do so, and not in a good way.

Actually, it may have been a good movie had it been made oh...30 or so years ago. But the plot has been done sooooooo many times now that every single second was predictable. The acting was bland (other than the young Asian woman who actually had a bit of a range other than 'smiling teenager', 'terrified teenager' or 'stalker teenager'). I have no idea whose idea it was to make this movie but it was a bad one. I was reminded immediately of 'Swim Fan' and going even further back, when Mark Whalberg was just past his Marky Mark phase and made 'Fear' with a young Reese Whitherspoon. Not to mention all of the zillions of Lifetime movies with the same plot, all of the excellently done Scream films, and even some elements of Beverly Hills 90210. Gah.

Don't waste your time.

Okay, there is literally nothing new in this movie. That being said, it is pretty entertaining and you probably won't turn it off. Bella Thorne, Halston Sage, and Taylor John Smith all turn in good performances and make up for some lackluster writing. A few less clichés and I think this movie would be more acceptable to most people, but again it was quite entertaining, fun, and enjoyable. It's not going to win any awards but that isn't the reason that you'd put a movie like this on, is it?
