Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times An overly broad and silly package whose one-joke, sitcom-like premise strains to fill feature length. May 1, 2014 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Movies have struggled to make social media cinematic, but judging from "Friended to Death," the revolution can wait. May 1, 2014 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post The story's message may not be the most original one in the world - put down your device and make eye contact - but it's fun to watch it unfold in a world that, while far from realistic, feels real enough. Rated: 2.5/4 May 1, 2014 Full Review Elias Savada Film Threat ...a sly, yet extremely energetic wink at the dark side of our increasingly intrusive social media state of dependency... Rated: 3.5/5 May 30, 2014 Full Review Amanda Nojadera Common Sense Media Facebook satire mixes positive messages with profanity. Rated: 3/5 May 7, 2014 Full Review Noah Gittell Washington City Paper Most of the film plays as a broad comedy, but its bromance is deeply felt, and the final scenes are sneakily poignant.

Audience Member i loved it. id love to see Ryan Hansen in more movies and i love his looks. i loved the other characters too. I love every bit of the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member That shit was hilarious. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Zack saves this movie! LOL. Fun Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was awful! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Friended To Death is a witty film with fun, over the top characters whose antics are both hysterical and heartbreaking .The film illustrates just how far a social media addict might go to find out who his real friends are. After getting fired and losing his best friend, Michael Harris, a detestable parking enforcement officer played by Ryan Hansen, decides to find out if anyone would care if he died. So, being the social media addict he is, Michael fakes his own death on Facebook to his see who will care enough to come to his funeral. As Michael's hoax spirals out of control, he begins to realize that connections made online can never compare to the true relationships found in real life. In this funny, zany film, while we laugh at the wild antics, we'll see a little bit of ourselves. The actors did an amazing job of bringing life to this "sign of our times" story. Congratulations to the filmmakers for giving voice to the profound role social media plays in our lives! I highly recommend this totally enjoyable film!
