Clickbait is a very clever look at fame culture, but in a different light than most similar movies. It's not an indictment of the people caught up in it, but rather the society that forces them to participate in order to be successful. I saw a Q&A where the directors talked about how the whole movie is intended to get the viewer to reflect on their own choices about how they consume on the internet. That's an important message. And Toot Strudels are funny as hell!
I thought the movie was entertaining enough. its a satire movie but also with hidden messages. I watched the movie cause I watch Brandi (the actress who plays Emma) sing songs on the app Bigo all the time, and shes been in a lot of movies so it was cool seeing this one. I thought her and the girl who played Bailey were really good, they both were believable and I liked their characters. they were likable. giving it a 7 cause i felt the movie was a bit short, and there were some things I didn't quite understand but it still kept my attention.
Clickbait is a searing satire of social media narcissism and the lengths people will go to promote their brand. Terrific horror elements mixed in with the comedy make it a fun ride for horror fans. But the true horror is that this may not be that far from the true world we live in today.
It's not a horrible movie. The film quality is really good, I thought the acting was really good by the 2 lead actresses, Colby Stewart and Brandi Aguilar. They are definitely 2 stars in the making, their on-screen chemistry was really good, and they're both cute.
I was not a fan of fake commercials in the movie, I didn't get them? It throws off the plot of the movie and I got lost. So a lot of times the plot gets confusing.
And while I will not give away any spoilers, the ending was a bit disappointing too. Like there needed to be more to give closure....so the ending was a bit of let down.
All in all, the movie kept my attention, but there were some missing plot holes that I wanted to know the answer to...that we never really get to know the answers to. It's a cute movie though. It's entertaining. Funny at times. I think the 2 young lead actresses make the movie worth watching with their performances, with the otherwise just "okay" script and plot holes.
I give it a 6 out of 10 for the reasons I said.
It's a good movie to pass the time.
Silliness about a self-centered, college kid, peripheral, internet "star" who cares only about her viewership and does whatever it takes to increase it. When she goes missing her plain-jane bestie comes to the rescue. Some cartoonish elements are bewildering like the soft sculpture cadavers.
