hardy c A boring film about a boring subject, reducing the internet to nothing more than a platform with which to get laid. Maybe that is the bottom line but to we really need two tedious hours to tell us that? Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Kyle M There’s occasional straying in Jason Reitman’s bold, topical approach as he extends his reach in tackling negative effects of digital communication with a thoughtful double-edged sword able to show both impactful senses through an appealing cast’s rough embrace. (B) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Edward H Unfortunate amateurish portrayal of a very serious problem that is so widespread. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Leah Stargazer L This movie basically was just a view into most people's lives. Love, sex, popularity, sadness, affairs. It held my interest but overall was slow with no wow factors. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Alec B The alarmist way it addresses the "perils" of the modern world might be hilarious if the film wasn't so tedious, dull, and self important. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review isla s This is definitely an example of cringe-comedy, a bit like American Pie, so suffice to say its quite lewd. The comedy is, at times, more about the parents than the teenagers. On another topic, the fact that the teens are asked to find people who remember the day of 9/11, to talk about their memories of it, made me feel somewhat old, considering I remember well where I was at the time and to think there are teenagers who were too young to remember that, is a little depressing but thats a whole other issue(!). Given Adam Sandler is in this film, I suppose I should have had pretty low expectations of it but he doesn't play the main character, indeed there isn't really a main character as such as both the teens and the parents are shown perhaps as much as each others. I thought that overall this is more of a drama than an outright comedy, as towards the end the plot does become quite serious, with the negative consequences of social media, peer pressure and so on being shown. Trust is one of the key themes in this film I'd say. This film obviously contains quite a lot of sexual references and strong language, certainly in the first half to three quarters of the film, so I wouldn't recommend it be watched as a family as such but for what it is, its good, surprisingly good. I liked Emma Thompson, who voices the narrator - a somewhat thoughtful, philosophical voice. I would recommend this film, yes.
