Absolutely the worst movie.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
I'm in my 20s, a prime millennial so they say, but I never fully understood the length to which Social Media affects our culture - I check it once a day, but my life isn't over if someone unfollows me (I don't even notice). This film shed light on 4 different but equally compelling stories. I was entertained by this film all the way through - it was fun and entertaining, yet education and emotional, and those are my favorite types of films.
I was pleasantly surprised by this film! The film followed various social media personalities and gave an insight into what being an influencer is truly like. From seeing how they deal with hate and also how they maintain a positive reach on social media, I have a new-found respect for these social media stars and how they live up to their name.
This title is excellent. I recommend this film to both young and more mature audiences, as the perspectives of the viewer will be quite different, but the enjoyment that you will feel is universal. Young people will hopefully be warned and for older audiences, there is so much to learn...
I saw this film last night at Hot Docs in Toronto and had little expectations going in. I use social media, but I am certainly not immersed in the world. I was truly entertained, captivated and in awe of the subjects of THE AMERICAN MEME from start to finish. I laughed the entire way through, while learning a great deal, and felt deeply for the characters. One thing that surprised me about the movie was that it was a lot deeper and a lot more serious than I thought it would be. I was scared and sad when it ended and I am still thinking about the film and my own personal interactions with social media today. I was also surprised about how diverse the audience was, which was pretty crazy. There was an 80 year old with a walker laughing her head off and a 12 years old sitting next to me (although probably not appropriate for a 12 year old...).Anyways, go see it. It's pretty amazing.
