I gotta say, the amount of passion that you can see Shane put into this movie is enough to bring a big smile to my face. As a long time fan, I'm proud of you Shane.
So "Not Cool" is directed by long time YouTuber Shane Dawson and is a very simple premise type of movie. It centers on Tori (Cherami Leigh) who simply doesn't fit into any type of crowd so she constantly has this negative demeanor towards everyone and everything until she accidentally hits a boy named Scott (Shane Dawson) with her car and decides to give him a ride to a party where his ex-girlfriend is but on the way they end up having sex and Scott begins to fall for Tori.
There's actually a second story in this as well. This one centering on Tori's friend Joel (Drew Monson) who wants to get with Scott's sister Janie (Michelle Veintimilla).
Overall this is what I'm gonna say, if you're not a fan of Shane Dawson and his style of humor then you're not gonna like this movie. Plain and simple. But lucky for Shane I'm a fan of his humor and I'm a fan of this movie.
The acting isn't A+ acting and that doesn't mean that it's bad, it's a low budget movie made by a first time director, so I let it slide. I did really like Shane's performance in it though, I want to see him take on a more dramatic role in a serious movie. "Smiley" doesn't count because that was kinda ridiculously over the top.
The humor is dark, go in knowing that. If you're easily offended then please don't watch this and harp on it. You're a bigger downer than the main character of this movie. Dark humor just appeals to his fan base more. Like Fight Club is one of my all time favorite movie because of how dark it is. If you're not easily offended and open minded about comedy then I think you can find something to enjoy in it.
In the end Shane put his heart and soul into this movie and it shows. I got some big laughs out of it and I'll certainly watch it with some of my friends that are Shane Dawson fans.
I give it a 7/10. It knows the target audience and appeals to them. That's a win in itself.
