Fan Girl

This is an interesting movie that I believe is misunderstood by a good percentage of the viewers. It surrounds around a 15-year-girl, Telulah Farrow (Kiernan Shipka) who is obsessed with two things: Baltimore-based Pop Punk band All Time Low, and Film-making.

Throughout the movie, it has some very obvious teen high school cliche aspects to it, such as the overly-mentioned social media, the high school cliques, etc. In a lot of ways, this movie is not special at all, and if you are planning on watching this, don't expect to be mind-blown after watching.

As a real-life fan of band All Time Low, this was enjoyable to watch knowing not to expect much from the movie. This movie can be enjoyable for All Time Low or Pop Punk "fangirls", although it can be easily confusing to someone who is uneducated about aspects like those.

It does not have a solidified plot-line to it and can get rather confusing and unrealistic at times. I, personally, was confused for quite a bit as to why Telulah does a British accent in front of Charlie. This movie leaves certain things unexplained or left for the viewer to figure out.

I rated it a seven out of 10 for a few reasons. This movie relies a lot on the audience themselves, in ways. As a teenage girl who loves All Time Low and has a soft spot for "crap " high school cliches, I enjoyed it. For people who enjoy deep, thoughtful plots and action, this is not the movie for you. This movie is quite literally 1h30m ad for All Time Low.

Overall, this movie really depends on the viewer themselves. If you go into this not expecting much, and having a background knowledge of things such as social medias mentioned such as the ever-so-present Tumblr and Instagram spoofs, and other things like pop punk, you just might enjoy it.

The film does center around the main character, who happens to be a fan girl. She and I are in the same fandom but I think her whole notice me senpai thing that they have needs to tone down a bit. Our favorite artists/ people do have a busy schedule and may or may not have time for social media.

Pretty good effort. Prequel to gone girl I reckon.

Awful movie!!!!!! No one should waste their time. This movie was a pay check for the actors. Every actor was awful.

Telulah Farrow (Kiernan Shipka) needs to make a movie trailer for her film class so that she can get into film school. She is obsessed with pop star Alex of the band 'All Time Low'. She needs to make the trailer with perpetual senior Darvan to enter a film festival. She has a crush on Charlie and talks in a British accent in front of him.

Kiernan Shipka is an interesting young actress. It's too bad that young stars often get stuck in horrible movies. This is one of those times. It tries so hard to be super hip and wacky fun. Most of it don't work. Kiernan is a charming performer. Meg Ryan is the mother trying too hard. Scott Adsit plays the funny film teacher. I'm sure he got Tina Fey to take the pictures. The writing is so awkward at times that any accidental funny moments seem out of place. It's a weird movie that goes all over the place. I think some experienced rewrites and a better director would figure out how to make a good comedy out of this. This seems slapped together by recent film school graduates.
