Vague Visages

Written and directed by Michael K. Feinstein, The Browsing Effect highlights the beauty of lasting connections. Despite pressing too hard on social media tropes, the film includes numerous charming performances and genuine laugh-out-loud moments.

The Critical Movie Critics

The Browsing Effect feels like a Tinder date that's been mistakenly swiped right on - something that looked promising at first glance, but after investing one and a half hours, it shows it has no real substance and it's time to move on to the next match.

There were some enjoyable scenes but overall The Browsing Effect was a mixed bag.

As far as rom-coms about online dating go, this is so far one of the best.
