In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

High schooler Kyle feels out of place until he acquires a mysterious and magical app which grants him the ability to be successful in assorted popular high school activities. He thus becomes a hot lead in the high school musical (and cute singer/songwriter Dani falls for him), plus he also becomes a star ice hockey player, which raises him as a target for high school princess Charlotte. Kyle has to decide which path to follow, and how to put right the things which have gone wrong on the way.This high school fantasy romcom is utterly formulaic and contains no surprises whatsoever. It's not unpleasant, the leads are attractive and fulfil their part in the proceedings well enough (although I never bought into Kyle being isolated), and the final musical number is effective.Famke Janssen puts in an unexpectedly funny turn as a Mom with too much wine oh her hands.This is a tolerable time-passer.

If you want to see a better version of this film, watch High School musical. The only difference is Troy Bolton didnt have a magical phone.. every scene i could predict very easily.

Status Update was a great, sexy film about teenager Kyle who gets a new phone and an app called Universe and is able to make his thoughts come true by updating his status. The movie was great, he went to this phone store after his phone got smashed by stupid bullies. This guy at the store said that when he went on to this app he was able to control his thoughts and make his dreams come true. At first he didn't understand, but then he fully understood. He writes things on his status like 'Sang and danced like Bruno Mars' and 'Fighted like Bruce Lee' and does so. I felt really bad for Kyle at some points, because his buddy Ronnie ditched him after he was invited to spend the night out with him and his mum and dad at a quiet restaurant and went to a noisy fancy dress house party. His girlfriend also ditched him because he was talking to her at the party and another sexy girl came and pushed her out of his way and then they made out together when he was supposed to be with his proper girlfriend. After that, whenever he tried to grab Ronnie or his girlfriend's attention, they just walked straight past and ignored him. They were saying things to him like Go away I hate you you embarrassed me etc.. It's also sad when another kid tells the truth about why Kyle is so successful and everyone is chanting and cheering for the truthful kid and he is saying I'm telling you the truth it's true etc.. Yet another sad part in the story is that Kyle's girlfriend did a song for him and with him which they did in his girlfriend's bedroom called 'Drowning in Your Love'. In the song she tells the story about the time she first she first saw Kyle, and how much she loved him and all that before she broke up with him because of this other girl. Anyway she made up with him in the end, saying she was "kinda happy to be with you", so did Ronnie earlier on in the film. Kyle's Universe app breaks too, which is sad. Isaac's Parents Guide: A lot of sex references like in the Bruno Mars scene where he sings 'your sex takes me to paradise' and pretends to masturbate. Also the bit where Charlotte's non-sexy mum asks him to help her in their kitchen, and wants sex with him. He gets away though. Some comic violence. Some profanity like 'bitch' and 'pussy' among a few others. Not really any intense scenes. Great for kids age 12 and up.
