The movie surges from a good idea. Show a comical criticism of the current generation's addiction to phones and social media around all the aspects of their lives.
What's the result?
By trying to include many of these situations, sadly none are accomplished and the comedy never appears. The movie goes way too fast from minute one, so it is hard to keep up with the rhythm, hence the story stumbles on all the situations that were established in the first place. The extremely fast pace ruins enjoyment and it gets reflected in the script, in the performances, and the situations of the characters.
In the third act, it seems that the aim is to solve the characters' arc, but there is no real development, so it feels that the end arrives because the film had to end due to lack of "funding".
I'm giving it a 2 for the good intentions, but it is genuinely a "hard to watch" movie.
