FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Emmett Brown With Facebook invading so many of our lives, it was high time that a film came around that really analyzed the trend. I'm honestly surprised this movie wasn't made sooner! A great, funny documentary from a promising new filmmaker.The movie follows its director, Brant, as he decides whether he should let his young son join the popular social network, Facebook. Along the way he interviews all sorts of interesting people and celebrities, who each have an new perspective on Facebook. Brant never judges his subjects, even the more "out-there" characters, which really helps. Brant also focuses on himself, as he asks himself if the problem isn't with Facebook, it's with him. The end of the movie involves some major soul searching, and it really adds an emotional climax to the whole thing. Definitely watch this film if you want to eat Facebook with your whole family.
Gary Powers I wasn't sure about this film when I first watched it. Would it be outdated? Would it come across as the humorous "Old Man Yells At Cloud" joke from that classic Simpson's episode? Would it feel like it should have been made several years ago, when Facebook was actually new and gamechanging? Well, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised! With its colorful cast of characters, this films weaves a breathtaking story that really hits home how Facebook has become intertwined in our lives.The film revolves around its director, Brant, as he explores for himself this crazy phenomenon known as "social media." We follow him as he meets all sorts of interesting people, each of whom has a different take on Facebooks and its societal effects. This in turn creates a multi-faceted picture of the overall culture of Facebook, and we see just how it magnifies and influences humanity's pre-existing faults and idiosyncrasies.
Gary Droller I really liked this film. It really made me think. I didn't use Facebook until last year. I got it because my girlfriend was on it (we're broken up now lol). Watching this movie made me realize that Facebook has changed our society. Especially that interview with the girl who is always on her phone. I hope I'm never like that lol.The best part was the pink lady. She was a really interesting person. Maybe she should have her own documentary? I'd watch it. That part really made me think about how changed our society has become from Facebook.After watching this film I deleted my Facebook. Now I only use snapchat and twitter and vine. No more Facebook for me. Really great film, everyone should see it asap.
leepressman-19641 I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone. The host, Brant, is really charismatic and is a great host. I loved following him into the "belly of the beast" so to speak, as he interviewed all the colorful characters whose lives have been touched by the internet. I myself only touched a computer for the first time last year, and this internet place is terribly frightening for me. Mr. Pinvidic's film has been a lighthouse in these dark times, leading me through the cold, unforgiving waters of Facebook. Maybe I could be interviewed in the next movie? Oh, would I have some stories to tell, stories that would chill you to your very bones.With many clever animated sequences and a cast of colorful characters, "Why I'm Not On Facebook" is a must-watch for anyone interested in this subject.
