To me, this movie is perfection.
Absolutely the worst movie.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Loved it, really enjoyed it for a young adult/teenager
Looking at this film from the perspective of its target audience, which is basically teens/young adults, It quite a solid film. A story about being true to yourself, but its told in a unique way. Actors did fine, plot was well written if maybe slightly over the top at times. Its hard to write a film about wishes coming true because the wording of any wish can always be open to interpretation, but I think Status Update captures the magic of it quite well. The pace is good, Cinematics fine for a lower budget film. I wouldn't call it an overly funny film, although it does have its moments. If you or your children like Glee, then you will probably like this. Its worth a watch if you like the Teenage Fantasy genre and a bit of fun; But not one for serious critics, hence some of the previous reviews.
High schooler Kyle feels out of place until he acquires a mysterious and magical app which grants him the ability to be successful in assorted popular high school activities. He thus becomes a hot lead in the high school musical (and cute singer/songwriter Dani falls for him), plus he also becomes a star ice hockey player, which raises him as a target for high school princess Charlotte. Kyle has to decide which path to follow, and how to put right the things which have gone wrong on the way.This high school fantasy romcom is utterly formulaic and contains no surprises whatsoever. It's not unpleasant, the leads are attractive and fulfil their part in the proceedings well enough (although I never bought into Kyle being isolated), and the final musical number is effective.Famke Janssen puts in an unexpectedly funny turn as a Mom with too much wine oh her hands.This is a tolerable time-passer.
If you want to see a better version of this film, watch High School musical. The only difference is Troy Bolton didnt have a magical phone.. every scene i could predict very easily.
