if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreThe film does center around the main character, who happens to be a fan girl. She and I are in the same fandom but I think her whole notice me senpai thing that they have needs to tone down a bit. Our favorite artists/ people do have a busy schedule and may or may not have time for social media.
... View MoreThe only reason I watched past the first 10 minutes was to see if it got any better- it doesn't. The personalities of these characters were all unoriginal and unnatural it was clear they made it just to try to be trendy. Honestly the way they discussed social media reminded me of either 1- a Facebook mom who doesn't understand the Internet or 2- a sixth grader who just discovered tumblr and thinks that they are cool because of it. Besides the cliché characters, the plot could have been good if it was actually like what every summary says it is, unfortunately that is of course not the case as they spend too much time either trying to force slang or going off to side stories that don't advance the main plot in any way. Also from a realistic standpoint they leave so many holes in the story as to how things ended up how they did and the camera angles used to show the footage that she supposedly shot doesn't match her actual angle *at all* which I just couldn't get over. If I could give it 0 stars the only thing that would stop me is the fact that it has a couple of good actors (even in awful roles).
... View MoreTelulah Farrow (Kiernan Shipka) needs to make a movie trailer for her film class so that she can get into film school. She is obsessed with pop star Alex of the band 'All Time Low'. She needs to make the trailer with perpetual senior Darvan to enter a film festival. She has a crush on Charlie and talks in a British accent in front of him.Kiernan Shipka is an interesting young actress. It's too bad that young stars often get stuck in horrible movies. This is one of those times. It tries so hard to be super hip and wacky fun. Most of it don't work. Kiernan is a charming performer. Meg Ryan is the mother trying too hard. Scott Adsit plays the funny film teacher. I'm sure he got Tina Fey to take the pictures. The writing is so awkward at times that any accidental funny moments seem out of place. It's a weird movie that goes all over the place. I think some experienced rewrites and a better director would figure out how to make a good comedy out of this. This seems slapped together by recent film school graduates.
... View MoreWhen I saw commercials for this movie to come out I was so excited because of the fact that it revolves around All Time Low, but now that I watched it, it was just so awful. The greatest part of the movie was the fact that it had All Time Low in it... well mainly just Alex. Don't get me wrong I love Alex but i wish we could have seen more of the band. You see a little bit of the rest of the guys in the last scene if you look close enough but that's about it. Besides that, most of the scenes were pointless and had nothing to do with the plot. Speaking of the plot, there were many plot holes and horrible character development. Some scenes were a little over-dramatic and just random. The jokes were corny and she wasn't even a very good filmmaker, she always stood in one spot and had no interesting shots.A lot of the bits were done before like when she got really orange with the spray tan.. we've seen it before. Not to mention they focused way too much on the teens being addicted to their phones and using really dumb slang, new age slang isn't even that awful. It seemed to be a low-budget film. Im so disappointed in this movie because I love All Time Low and I was expecting something way better.
