n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreWith Facebook invading so many of our lives, it was high time that a film came around that really analyzed the trend. I'm honestly surprised this movie wasn't made sooner! A great, funny documentary from a promising new filmmaker.The movie follows its director, Brant, as he decides whether he should let his young son join the popular social network, Facebook. Along the way he interviews all sorts of interesting people and celebrities, who each have an new perspective on Facebook. Brant never judges his subjects, even the more "out-there" characters, which really helps. Brant also focuses on himself, as he asks himself if the problem isn't with Facebook, it's with him. The end of the movie involves some major soul searching, and it really adds an emotional climax to the whole thing. Definitely watch this film if you want to eat Facebook with your whole family.
... View MoreI really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone. The host, Brant, is really charismatic and is a great host. I loved following him into the "belly of the beast" so to speak, as he interviewed all the colorful characters whose lives have been touched by the internet. I myself only touched a computer for the first time last year, and this internet place is terribly frightening for me. Mr. Pinvidic's film has been a lighthouse in these dark times, leading me through the cold, unforgiving waters of Facebook. Maybe I could be interviewed in the next movie? Oh, would I have some stories to tell, stories that would chill you to your very bones.With many clever animated sequences and a cast of colorful characters, "Why I'm Not On Facebook" is a must-watch for anyone interested in this subject.
... View MoreI just stopped watching this great film and I had to leave a review on my favorite movie website here on the internet movie database. I was astounded by the sheer quality of the filmmaking on display throughout this film, "Why Am I Not On Facebook," and here is exactly why.This is the kind of film that all of the kids need to see, and their parents as well. The filmmaker really goes to some strange places and meets some strange people in his quest to discover the beating heart of the thing that is Facebook. Every character is completely memorable, even the guy who you can't see his face because he is a robber. Most memorable of all is the host, who goes to seem deep, dark places inside himself and comes out unscathed.Get a facebook so you can see this movie and understand it, then delete facebook!
... View MoreI had just been talking with my young son about starting a Facebook account, when I spied this documentary in my iTunes recommendations. I watched it right away, and boy did it make me think! I loved all of the funny little animations the movie used to bring its information to life. This movie is full of funny little stories about Facebook, and it even has a bit of heart at the end. I loved this little movie by the end, which says something, since I had expected it to be The Social Network, and when I realized it was not the movie I had expected I became enraged to the point of blindness for several hours. But after watching it I was glad I had spent my hard-earned money on this quality film, filled with so many funny characters. Watch this when you get a chance!
