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!!!

"Airplane Mode" is a featherweight and very colorful comedy held up by the charms of its lead, Larissa Manoela, whose hasty performative turn as Ana, the social media-obsessed influencer, rings sparkle into the film. The story narrates Ana as she learns some good lessons in self-discovery after being sent to her grandfather's farm, deep away from the digital world. It is an easy, almost predictable, nonsense-filled plot filled with funny and touching moments, particularly between Ana and her grandfather, who becomes a great character, played by Erasmo Carlos. Though nothing seems new and almost smudges in very recognizable genre tropes, "Airplane Mode" works wonderfully as an enjoyable, feel-good crossover that would suit light watching, focusing on the importance of disconnecting and reconnecting with life's simple pleasures.

The movie is cute, but the overacting of the "villains" was a bit painful and the storyline was very predictable.

I did enjoy the MC and she was believable. Though most of my issues could be from the dubbing instead of having subtitles.

It was a typical teen/family movie with a predictable storyline.. and I actually enjoyed it :)

Excellent comedy about the social media era flaws and risks. Well performed, satirical and touching at equal levels.
