[SEMI-REVIEW] Catfish

[pinback]

I really, really liked Catfish, but it's because I thought the whole thing was a "mock-u-mentary". Now I'm being led to believe it was an actual documentary? But then some are saying it may be a little of both? "YOU'RE CONFUSING ME!" - Abby (it's a quote from the movie)

Did... does anyone else have any opinion on this? What does it say about me as a man that I could appreciate a movie more if it was fake than if it was real? I think you can understand that, though: "MAN, these are AWESOME actors! They seem SO LIFELIKE!! Wait, they're what? Oh."

I... I just don't know. I think I still love this movie. I was terribly moved by it. There's no way it can be completely real, though, because it's a documentary about the most boring thing imaginable that (surprise!) becomes interesting a quarter of the way through it. No, this can't be 100% real.

Man, I'm stumped. This movie has me stumped.

STUMPED STARS OUT OF FIVE

[Catfish]

Fake might be a strong word but, yeah, it's fake. Or at least the word on the street is that it's fake.

Or fake at least so far as, yeah, they knew exactly where things were headed.
