    pretty entertaining

    I thought the movie was entertaining enough. its a satire movie but also with hidden messages. I watched the movie cause I watch Brandi (the actress who plays Emma) sing songs on the app Bigo all the time, and shes been in a lot of movies so it was cool seeing this one. I thought her and the girl who played Bailey were really good, they both were believable and I liked their characters. they were likable. giving it a 7 cause i felt the movie was a bit short, and there were some things I didn't quite understand but it still kept my attention.

    Click Bait - A disappointment in every frame

    "Click Bait" is, unfortunately, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Despite its intriguing title, the film fails to deliver on every front, making it a complete waste of time.

    The acting is subpar, with performances that feel forced and unconvincing. The cast struggles to bring any depth or realism to their characters, leaving the audience disengaged and uninterested.

    The plot is equally disappointing. It's riddled with clichés and predictable twists, lacking any originality or coherence. The storyline meanders without purpose, making it hard to stay invested in the outcome.

    Overall, "Click Bait" is a frustrating experience. Poor acting and a terrible plot contribute to its downfall, making it a movie I cannot recommend. Save your time and find something else to watch.

    Cool movie!

    Cool movie! I dug it. You might too. It is funny and has some good horror sequences as well. Poop!

    Funny and searing social satire

    Clickbait is a very clever look at fame culture, but in a different light than most similar movies. It's not an indictment of the people caught up in it, but rather the society that forces them to participate in order to be successful. I saw a Q&A where the directors talked about how the whole movie is intended to get the viewer to reflect on their own choices about how they consume on the internet. That's an important message. And Toot Strudels are funny as hell!

    Superb!

    Really enjoyed this film. I must say that I don't normally leave reviews, but I really appreciated this film. The acting was refreshing and found myself genuinely cracking up at certain moments, but I must highlight the writing in this film. Put simply, it's fantastic. It's a must watch! Thanks!
