I really enjoyed this movie! Although the story is not too surprising, the movie has a rather fast pace (a lot of things happen in a very short time), therefore it doesn't get boring and the characters are well portrayed by a really great cast! I loved the characters, the movie portrays a range of people you wouldn't want to be friends with in real life, but they are shown through such a loving and uplifting lense, you can't help but like their quirky and sometimes questionable characters.
This film tells the story of Sid Straw, who is a bit of an oddball. Over enthusiastic and doesn't really understand social cues. He joins Facebook and accidently ends up stalking a celebrity he went to college with. This leads to a restraining order, losing his job and his home.
This is a really nice film. No sex, no violence or swearing. Just a nice story which keeps your interest. You end up really feeling for Sid and hoping everything works out for him.
Its more of a film you find amusing than laugh out loud. Well worth a watch, really enjoyed this one.

I have been watching Tony Hale in the best comedy series ever written, "Arrested Development" and expected nearly the same character in this movie. I was presently surprised when I found him acting the part of someone that I can relate to. Someone real!
We all have that friend that tries too hard, wants people to notice them and goes out of their way just to have any kind of "win" in their lives. We all need a win, especially now, when we have all been beaten down by so much that is going on in the world.
The movie takes us on a special kind of journey; of the innocence of some people that just want to be remembered and reminds us of the loneliness that is so easily put upon us by others, sometimes because of the need that drives us to feel human and not forgotten.
I won't give away the ending or drop any spoilers in this review, but I will recommend you watch the movie. The 8 stars I gave it are for the culmination of the story, richness of the characters,their performance, and the way it made me feel to be along on the journey. That is why we watch, right? I hope you enjoy the movie, as I did.

What a great story! Unpretentious, great characters, nice story and funny in a nice way. Sid is great - you just want him to do well.
I would highly recommend this film because it's a great watch and it deserves to be watched!

This was such a nice story. It's simple, but briskly paced, and was made with a great outlook on life. The main character has his ups and downs, but you don't feel depressed--you just feel like that's how life is, and it gives you an appreciation for what you have. Now you might think that something that sounds so positive would be too straight-laced, but actually there is some sharper humor in there, stuff that wouldn't have been out of place in Napoleon Dynamite. I will recommend this movie to just about anyone.
