Alright here we go buckle up.
I was really excited to see this movie because the hype made it seem so worth it. I loved the entire concept of catfishing and really wanted to see how the plot of this would be revealed.
However, the first 20 minutes in and I remember feeling not hooked onto it and overall thinking it was kind of dry. Same old same old typical teen com. The imposter Mean Girls weren't all too impressive either. Regardless, I wanted to see what happened next.
Skip to like the middleish, the plot was going good. I liked how Veronica got a sort of revelation to her dumb antics.
But then near the end where Sierra sees Veronica and Jamie kissing and getts mad over it to a point where she literally cruelly betrays her friend by exposing her was really over the top, ridiculous, unrealistic and yawn-worthy.
It gets worse because rather than apologising to Veronica and Jamie properly, she instead writes a song in which she's victimising herself and having a big whine. Like I get where she is coming from, but lack of self esteem doesn't give you an excuse to treat people badly.
Then near the end she says to Jamie, "do you ever feel like the world is conspiring against you?" - something along those cliche lines - yeah she should have left it at the sorry rather than trying to justify it. Stop.
Anyways it was okay, I feel like it could have been portrayed better because the concept was great.
