Overview
Beautiful, wild, funny, and lost, Katie Kampenfelt takes a year off before college to find herself, all the while chronicling her adventures in an anonymous blog into which she pours her innermost secrets. Eventually, Katie's fearless narrative begins to crack, and dark pieces of her past emerge.
This movie had ambition that outstretched its capabilities. It tried to tackle a whole host of themes – coming of age, social media, misogyny, etc – and quite frankly did so very poorly. It also tried to take some shortcuts – for a while the main theme seemed to be to have Britt Robertson in her underwear for absolutely no reason. Its sad to see Slater and Sheen in movies like this when you consider their past works. I am still not sure about the ending – in some ways it feels out of place given the themes that that movie was addressing. You spend the whole movie having this girl struggle and you end with that?
