Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
In my opinion, it is brilliant movie about misunderstood and lost young girl. I haven't read the book, but after watching this I definitely will. The way the story is told is surprisingly clever, and I'm still intrigued what happened. You need to see it! I promise you will not regret it.
I actually liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. At first glance it seems like a typical teen movie without any substance, but trust me it's not. I think the way Allison Burnett structured everything was very cool and the ending was thought-provoking. The ending confused me at first, but after I re-watched it a few times I think I get the idea. The whole movie, we were seeing her life through the eyes of her blog-viewers. At the end, we're still her blog-followers, except that now Katie/Amy has gone missing, and her mom is writing the blog entry. Amy had been embellishing her stories. In reality, her life was much less of a soap-opera than we thought it to be. Shows that perspective changes everything. What really goes on behind the TV, the news, gossip magazines? Probably something completely different from what we think.
Movie was 6 stars up until the last 5 minutes.*** This review may contain spoilers ***I don't do reviews that often, but I have to comment about the coming of age teen movie written by a middle aged man. The dichotomy of the writer's inner thoughts show in this movie. First, he's obviously a father and worried about the things his daughters could do to put themselves at risk, but it comes across as slut shaming.Second, as another reviewer stated, EVERYONE wants to have sex with you if you're a cute teen, and damn the consequences, which just comes across as pervy.I knew the movie was turning bad when so-and-so started his anti abortion sermon which reminded me of those Christian produced movies, but thankfully it ended.5 minutes later, BAM. We're jerked out of the storyline, confused. (Is this a fracking America's Most Wanted movie, and now I have to go Google Amy Grantham?), and given a very short explanation, then the credits. And that's it.
I happen to stumble upon As Me Anything because of my love for Christian Slater and films normally featuring a cast my age. This movie grabbed me the minute it started (the soundtrack is excellent). On top of an amazing cast, this movie felt completely authentic. Its extremely hard to find something original anymore, that actually makes you stop and think. The main reason I fell in love with Ask Me Anything was the reality of it. Yes, I loved the story line, but the actual detail in both the book (Undiscovered Gyrl) and film were what sealed the deal. When Katie is standing in front of the mirror with makeup all over her face, or when she over reacts to her mom, the way she runs from store to store looking for jobs, or the slightly inappropriate jokes she makes to Christian Slater on the first phone call. They are REAL. Real emotions and actions of young adults, and that was so refreshing. Most movies and TV shows today that feature young adults might be fun to watch, but they aren't realistic, its not how people in there late teens act or speak. This film is startlingly raw and true.
