I think that actors did a great job portraying characters and wish I could rate this movie higher because of it.
However the entire storyline was ridiculous. It wasn't even the catfishing that I had a problem with. I appreciated the spotlight being shed on a topic that happens more often than we think. I even appreciated the story behind Sierra and why she was doing what she was doing (even though I thought her character was a selfish idiot). What I thought was absolutely stupid and ridiculous was the outcome.
In what world is it okay to pretend to be someone else and trick another person into falling for you? And how was she so easily forgiven for her horrendous actions? What she did to Veronica was horrible and the fact she got what she wanted in the end pissed me off. How was she so easily forgiven? Why were her actions so quickly shrugged off? Why were no consequences even really highlighted for what she had done? It was as if we went through all of that just to be given "Oh so I know you catfished me. That's wrong. But that's okay I forgive you let's go to prom!"
I love myself a good ol' cliche ending now and then, I won't lie. However, this cliche ending was so unwarranted it's not even funny.
Definitely in my pile of "seen it but would never watch again".
