Only found out about this movie while surfing through netflix looking for something random to watch. The title caught my eye, but the synopsis of the movie seemed like it had been something that had been done before, thousands of times, but I figured I'd use the 15 minute rule and just turn it off if I didn't like it.

Well, I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. Yes, it is predictable. Yes, the character development is nothing out of the ordinary - you basically get all of your stereotypes portrayed. Yes, the storyline moves along very quickly to where you find yourself with the last 13 minutes of the movie and wonder how they can wrap things up so quickly, but it all works.

It is like a lot of other movies out there, but it has a different vibe to it. It wasn't laugh-out- loud-pee-your-pants hilarious, but it was funny! It wasn't sappy or soft-core porn to grab attention.

The initial film was mildly entertaining, and the TV series takes the ridiculousness to a new level. Like the film, it has some truth to it and the characters add much to the entertainment level, not necessarily the idea of people manipulating and duping others over the internet. We've know that for years!

I will admit that I do not like any form of reality TV simply because it is scripted and not genuine, and that goes for this TV series. To use an example of real-life, unscripted "documentary-style" TV entertainment, I would use Cops as an example. You have real individuals who are quite the character, real-time footage (nothing re- enacted), but you only get snippets of the life of the individuals involved in the show.

If you like this style of fake, reality TV, then it will nonetheless entertain you and allow you to converse with others as if the scenarios on the show did indeed happen. But if you enjoy the fictional, scripted comedy as with other shows, this show may insult your intelligence, which in this case, you would not be watching these shows to begin with.
