Review of The A-List

The A-List (2015)
7/10
Funny Satirical Piece
14 December 2015
What the other reviews are neglecting to tell you, is that this film is satire. It is not meant to be taken seriously. Think of "Not Another Teen Movie", but slightly more grounded. It is silly and outrageous. But this is by design.

Eric Schultz is the most popular guy in school. Why? All thanks to "The A List", a social network that has him in the number one spot. Students and Faculty fawn over him in every manner. But, Eric comes to learn popularity isn't everything.

Once you realize this film is making fun of how much importance teens are giving technology, you can enjoy this film. The characters are stereotypes, but each lead is played well.

Above all, the film has a nice message, which is: put away the cell phone. Don't worry about labels. Be yourself.

This film is not award winning material, but it is entertaining enough if you and your friends can't agree on anything in their Netflix queue. Give it a try.
