Predictable, but surprisingly lovely story. I expected trash before watching and ended up with a nice and enjoyable little film. Lead actress Larissa Manoela (who's incredibly successful on Instagram in real life as well) brings her stereotyped role to life.

The plot was weak, but the main character is cute. I guess the target audience are young people. I'm confused with some reviews believing the movie is set in the US, it's clearly set in Brazil. It's just that it's a banal story about a rich teen addicted to social media, instead of poverty and slums. Also, to the foreign audiences: please do learn how to read subtitles!!!

Not sure why netflix paid for a brasilian movie with american slyle

Am I a total fool if I enjoyed this? I am, to say the least, very confused with myself. Yes, because I love good cinema and this is not it.

This said, Airplane Mode is, in my humble opinion, a totally enjoyable movie, never boring, incredibly predictable, but still, I can't give it less than a solid 6!

Maybe the fact that the italian dubbing is decent? Maybe the story has something original in it, that kept me from leaving? I can't say for sure.

So yeah, a solid 6, don't judge me.

Now I have to watch Citizen Kane or something, to redeem myself.

If it weren't for the actors and their likeability, you might find this even worse. Not that this is amazing or anything, quite cliche to be honest. But you should expect that with a movie and a story like that. This is aimed at a younger audience with some social commentary thrown in for good measure.

You know where this is heading, you should also be able to be way ahead of the "twist" of the movie too, without having read about it. Small, simple and can be fun, if you have low expectations and just go with it
