I love this movie so much

As Good As It Gets

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Starts slow, and kind of creepy, then turns into somewhat of a mystery suspense (almost) thriller. The creepy is Daryl Hannah, yeah she is sure creepy, but I guess that was what they were going for. A good movie with a warning to people that you are never safe, even from those closest to you. Over all this was well acted and I did Enjoy the story. Kristen Prout is really always good. She has that victim look down, but you can easily believe that she is whoever she wants you to. I would recommend this movie to anyone, but mostly parent, and older teens as it really isn't going to be relevant to the youngest generation as this will all have changed by the time they get there. This movie will not be as good in a few years, it just won't be the same types of media, but the story will be timeless, and no matter the media, the story will be able to fit it.

Sexy blonde high school senior Kirsten Prout (as Catherine "Cat" Hardy) seems to have everything a young woman could want. Besides being drop-dead gorgeous, she's smart enough to be re-elected student council president and is planning on attending an Ivy League college. She lives in an immaculately furnished Los Angeles mansion with her fantastically wealthy single mom Daryl Hannah (as Susan Hardy). Rounding out Ms. Prout's perfect life is best girlfriend Chloe Bridges (as Emily Hargrove) and cuddly kissing partner Brandon Smith (as Daniel). As if all this wasn't enough, nobody wiggles around a pair of shorts like Prout. Nobody. Naturally, her wonderful world comes crashing down. The avenue for evil is social media and the offending cast member is revealed by re-titling this TV Movie "Mother" for home video release. The attempts to drive "Social Nightmare" into most awful rating territory fail as this one amuses by being insanely predictable.**** Social Nightmare (8/31/13) Mark Quod ~ Kirsten Prout, Daryl Hannah, Chloe Bridges, Brandon Smith

This is a Lifetime Channel movie, so I almost passed it by. I am glad I didn't.The plot summary is a bit misleading here, as the story is really about what happens when someone hacks into your computer and your accounts and starts posting things that are harmful to others. In this case, Catherine Hardy (Kirsten Prout) is the victim, but no one will believe her. Yes, this is hardly a new theme, but still I found the film to be engaging.Kirsten Prout is very good as Catherine, in an understated way. The school scenes are believable. Chloe Bridges is convincing as Catherine's best friend. The true surprise here is Daryl Hannah, who I always categorized as an actress getting work because of her beauty. Well, Daryl is no longer a spring chicken, but is very good in the role of Catherine's mother.This would have actually gotten a better rating, but for the horrible ending. It appears the crew got the word to end this film and wrapped it up with a convenient, one scene let's tie it all together and make everyone warm and fuzzy ending. Bummer!

"Social Nightmare" (or "Mother") was actually somewhat of a surprise. When I saw The Asylum in the intro, I was literally rolling my eyes, as The Asylum tend to make really questionable movies that are just as weak on effects as they tend to be on story. However, this is probably the one that flips it all around. Without a doubt, then "Social Nightmare" is the best movie from The Asylum that I have seen to date.The story is about two girls who are about to graduate from high school and apply to go to the same college, when events turn the entire school upside down. Friendships are tested, loyalties fail and switch, and Cat's life quickly turns to ruins.Story-wise, then "Social Nightmare" was interesting and had a great story to tell. Sure, it was predictable, especially with a secondary title as "Mother". That really was the ultimate spoiler. But still, as predictable as it was, then the movie was entertaining, but most importantly it was really well acted by those in the various roles. Especially Kirsten Prout (playing Cat) and Chloe Bridges (playing Emily) were doing outstanding jobs.I must admit that it was the lure of Daryl Hannah that got my attention drawn to this movie. And having seen it, I must admit that this is a rare gem from The Asylum.Every now and again you hear stories in the media about things such as this, that tragically lead to very sad endings. And it does give you something to think about."Social Nightmare" is well worth a watch, especially in this age where our entire lives flourish on the social networks are are within a click's grasp for just everyone to witness.
