The only reason I watched past the first 10 minutes was to see if it got any better- it doesn't. The personalities of these characters were all unoriginal and unnatural it was clear they made it just to try to be trendy. Honestly the way they discussed social media reminded me of either 1- a Facebook mom who doesn't understand the Internet or 2- a sixth grader who just discovered tumblr and thinks that they are cool because of it. Besides the cliché characters, the plot could have been good if it was actually like what every summary says it is, unfortunately that is of course not the case as they spend too much time either trying to force slang or going off to side stories that don't advance the main plot in any way. Also from a realistic standpoint they leave so many holes in the story as to how things ended up how they did and the camera angles used to show the footage that she supposedly shot doesn't match her actual angle *at all* which I just couldn't get over. If I could give it 0 stars the only thing that would stop me is the fact that it has a couple of good actors (even in awful roles).
