We Need to Talk

I really liked this movie.

It had the gamer angle that I enjoyed (the dialogue between the characters was funny), and my girlfriend liked the relationship storyline (Apparently Great Scott and I have some things in common?). A movie we could both sit through the entire thing!

Emily Bett Rickards' character, Amber, was our favorite and it was great to see Tray Chaney again ("Poot" from The Wire).

Philly was represented, too!

I'd recommend.

Watching a self absorbed guy running a Video Game social media channel having conversations and banter with friends and players didn't really hold my attention. It didn't help that I disliked like the main character and didn't find the attempts at comedy even remotely funny. If you are a teenage video game player maybe you will find it more appealing but there are far better movies to invest your time in.

Emily Rickards was definitely the best of the bunch however she seemed a bit out of place given the rather average acting ability of the rest of the cast but even her over the top character Amber couldn't save a shallow unfunny script and rather trivial storyline. There was nothing to pull you in and to me it felt more like a cheap TV show than a movie.

If you are an avid game player on social media it may strike a chord but I would rather have watched Tom and Jerry.
