People You May Know

This film was as predictable as it was irrelevant...and that's pretty much the most positive thing I can say about it. The cliche' of a gay man being "tricked" to sire a child by his straight female friend has been done many times before...and as in the case of "the Wedding Banquet" 20+ years ago in far superior quality. This film was just really a bunch of people whining/complaining in very long-winded monologues...as if the writer was literally allowing the actors to get lengthy soundbites for their own demo reels. The issue here is none of these monologues (or characters) is interesting...as in remotely. I added an extra star as Mark Cirilo (who only has one "gay voice" and thus possesses the range of an on/off switch) kept his clothes on in this film.

Yes I am taking the mick in case the title misleads you.

Another hollow and tedious movie based around social media. Its a worn out thread already; pass me the recycle bin.

As boring, repetitive, time wasting and bereft of honesty as most of social media actually is in reality.

Watching this movie is as pointless and meaningless as posting your life on facebook, twitter and wasting hours of non-productive time arguing with people you dont even know and trying ever so hard to gain your portion of "confirmation" as they call it on social media. Don't get me wrong, I've been there myself but there is a time when you wake up and realise you are wasting your life and precious time on people you have never met and will never meet and that the whole thing is merely another distraction from the joys of actually living but movies like these try to hoodwink you into believing the hype!

The fact that they actually mention in the movie that over 3/4's of the USA never read a book last year says it all and is virtually the only interesting piece of dialogue in the entire movie!

Good acting from the cast but that cannot save a totally pointless script and dull movie.

Full disclosure, I'm a media influencer. That does not mean I go around my phone sewn to my hand though. This movie is an absolutely miserable Slice of Life that speaks on the evils social media which isn't a bad thing in my opinion but breaking up a marriage and making it okay to be morally and socially untrue to your partner and making it out to be the Romantic part of the story is disgraceful, and the rest of the whole thing was just bizarre. The story line leads you off in one way making you think that relationships are going to go one way and then they thread in characters that end up having no meaning to the storyline whatsoever so they just confuse things. It's just a bizarre movie I've really feel like I wasted an hour 31 minutes of my life. Thanks a lot Sherwin Shilati.

I thought the film did a good job despite working around typical RomCom plots and cliché's. There was decent character development and arcs in addition to some realistic themes such as regretting the past and covering up insecurities. Those who just see it as a social media film are only looking at it at the absolute top layer.

What an absolute waste of my time. I should have known better from the synopsis. i couldn't work out what the message was. Being a Social media film, surely i was supposed to face a moral dilemma. Whoever funds these films please stop. Absolute nonsense.
