Yes, it's stupid. Yes, it's only going to appeal to some people, but yes, it is funny. If you don't see the humor in something that mocks the internet culture of stupid videos and narcissistic morons, then you won't like it. I thought it was well made and had enough heart to keep you invested in the characters.
The writing jokes are often subtle but good. It is much better than most "parody" movies because it counts on intelligent humor over stupid gags and physical comedy. In other words, the jokes aren't spelled out for you. You either get why it's funny or you don't and if you do, you'll like it.

Well. If you have seen a few movies and are now going to see this film, you will definitely can see it's predictability. And if you are familiar with the internet clips platforms, you will recognize some of the faces (at least, I did for some). So, how does this match up? As you might expect, decent, at best. Those stereotypical views and exaggerations aren't the first and won't be the last attempt at reducing complex topics and boil them down to basic emotions. Thing is, it is pretty funny to see those categories you can clearly define in the real world, concerning YouTube and similar social media platforms, and see the effort to translate them to the movie screen. But it is almost a little bit frightening, since you might think the Internet and the people living in it, growing up with it could prosper in this direction. When it is all about cats, funny clips you forget in an hour and a little cleavage to satisfy the inner boy, people forget the struggle of multidimensional conflicts, deep threats, big love you can see in those real movies, the "classics". And this movie has it's moments, e.g. at the presentation of the guy behind the cat. Behind this American humor and this documentary-style imaging their is some process of the information delivered. And the casting was pretty good, I.e. Amanda Cerny who delivers exactly how it is expected with the right amount of oversimplification. But it doesn't break through and those moments get flushed away by pretty standard mainstream movie procedure. But you don't expect it from this film, and it doesn't expect it from itself either. So I guess it delivers what they wanted without any attempt at risking something, or moving into a probably more interesting direction.
I've a lot of the YouTuber movies. Most of them were pretty crap and and didn't really laugh at any of them. I found 'Not Cool' quite a good movie. But 'Internet Famous' was just amazing. I laughed a lot. I loved the characters. The acting was great. I just really enjoyed it!If this movie was on DVD I would buy it! The ending was actually quite unpredictable. The only issue with the movie was that there wasn't enough details about the characters. But everything else was pretty freaking great! Well done to everyone in this movie! I also loved how enthusiastic it was. There was always an energy to it.I felt excited while watching it. I'm gonna have to say it again, this movie was just the best from youtubers. Just above 'Not Cool'. I hope more people watch it and enjoy it like I did. I literally have nothing else to say. But I need to some how fit 10 lines. I have nothing. Erm. Ya'll should check out all the YouTubers in this movie! They're all great. I have nothing else. Everything has been said. Stupid rules on this website my God. hmm. Again, very good.
In terms of entertainment Internet Famous successfully accomplishes its mission. The movie is not boring and has a lot of funny moments.
I honestly liked it at the start, okay? I was afraid of cringey anti-comedy and annoyingly bad jokes, but it started off pretty strong. It all went to crap very soon, though. I'm honestly amazed how not a single one of the 5 plot lines set up were developed. I'm amazed how there was basically no evident character growth. I'm amazed how unbelievable the character growth they tried to cram in was. I'm so sick of these young internet directors writing a script and not having anyone with deep criticism look over it! Any English 11 student could look at this script and ask "Why didn't you finish it? Why does it end so abruptly? What's the climax supposed to be? Why did you foreshadow something and then never bring it up again?" Over and over again, Gallagher sets something up and doesn't follow through. I'm just annoyed at this point. It could have been great! Next time get someone to edit your script who's not just going to tell you it's hilarious and shoo you along. Please, for the sake of the world's respect for YouTube.
