Girl Finds Out She's Adopted

I've seen Dhar Mann videos for a while now. I always watched his content in an ironic way knowing that his videos are not really changing lives. This feature film was not good, it's definitely longer than it should be. It feels stretched out for too long. The acting is okay, the plot is mediocre. Just not a good movie, something like this could have been done as a 20-30 minute video instead. If dhar ever decides to make another movie, I just hope the next one is more creative and entertaining.

WARNING: I was really looking forward to seeing the girl find out she's adopted on Thanksgiving. But instead the girl finds out she's adopted on her 15th birthday. I feel like I've been lied to, and I'm questioning what is reality.

FILMMAKERS: If you're watching this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a sequel where the girl forgets she's adopted and (here comes the twist!) the girl finds out she's adopted AGAIN on Thanksgiving. There are so few Thanksgiving movies about adoption surprises, and I feel you could really corner the market on Thanksgiving adoption surprise movies with just one simple sequel.

Why would you watch this on purpose? It sucks it's straight up ball water. I would rather eat a an entire container of bland hummus and pickles. I actually ended up gaining negative brain cells from this. Girl finds out she's adopted? Well I found out I had a brain tumor because of watching this. I would rather abort someone else's child than watch this .

Now I'm just going to tell you a bunch of things I'd rather do than watch this movie.

1. Always smell salt and pepper Lay's chips for the rest of my life.

2. Die 3. Your mom (NO SUS!!1!1!!) 4. Become deaf 5. Eat my sibling 6. Become a teacher/ be poor 7. Genuine murder 8. Burn Down a children's hospital 9. Send bomb threats to Russia 10. Bomb Russia.

Decided to watch this movie and I instantly regrets it. Not because its bad, because I didn't watch it sooner. One of the most emotional movie you'll ever see in your life, I was so sad when I found out she's adopted, so much so I pooped my pants.

I remember when this came out and even though I thought the title was incredibly generic and goofy, I still was curious about what this was gonna be about. I think I'll start with some positives because there's a lot more problems than Dhar Mann thinks this movie has:

1. The cinematography is a lot more cinematic than a regular Dhar Mann video. However, the color grading is still really ugly and dull to look at.

2. I like that the regular Dhar Mann actors, hopefully, got a good amount of pay for doing this.

3. I really appreciate that it was only an hour long and not a two hour long "film".

4. I really liked the creepy atmosphere that the "film" had, it's one of a few things that sets it apart from a normal Dhar Mann video.

Alright now let's get into the nitty griddy: this "film" isn't really a film, it's a normal Dhar Mann video that was stretched out to an hour long runtime. Ignoring the fact that he did this same exact story like 4 times with little changes for his YouTube channel, the writing is just super generic. There's nothing unique about this "film" in terms of themes, characters, shot composition, and acting-wise. Let's break it all down:

1. The whole "film" is just unrealistic. The main actress is definitely putting in effort but the character is written so stupidly to the point that she comes off more as obnoxious rather than sympathetic. Even after she is repeatedly told that her biological mother is a bad person and she wants nothing to do with the main character, she still tries to find her.

2. The parents are so stupid and oblivious. Just to show you how stupid they are, they tell their daughter that she is adopted on her birthday. When their daughter goes missing because she stupidly decides to find her biological mother even though her biological dad from PRISON told her that her mom is a bad person who changes her name to avoid being found, the parents are still cooking their stupid Thanksgiving dinner instead of looking for their daughter.

3. The post credit scene is a really dumb set-up for a sequel that no one will watch. Why would the main character's supposed "surprise" brother go to meet their dad in prison in hopes of getting money from him?

4. The ending is so unnecessary and useless because it shows one of the main character's friends unboxing her gifts and she gets an IPhone. Why was this included? Why should I care? Speaking of the main character's friends, I found her character to be incredibly annoying. Whenever the main character tells her private information about her personal life like how she found out she's adopted, the main character's friend just keeps shouting this information in public. She does this so much to the point that I would just never tell this girl anything about my personal life.

Overall, this was a waste of time. I definitely respect that Dhar Mann gave this a shot but I can tell that he doesn't really care about making good art or a good movie. He just wants to continue making generic content to keep making money of it. I do hope one day he finds the passion for filmmaking and creativity but for now, this was a really soulless "film" with no real redeeming factors. Also he should be paying his actors and listening to them. I don't really recommend this to anyone.
