The main character is an awful person. He pretended to be straight, got married, and had a child. He then broke the code of ethics as a teacher and broke his marital vows simultaneously by cheating on his wife with a student. Not only was he a fraud, he was also a cheater who preyed on a student.

The part that truly made me despise the main character was when his daughter told him how she remembers meeting his late partner when she was a kid. She said that her mom was in Montana and that her dad invited his boyfriend over for a steak dinner. She mentioned how he'd never make a dinner that nice for her and her mom. Not only was he cheating, but he was bringing the guy he was cheating with into the home he shared with his wife and their daughter while the wife was out of town. That's despicable behavior.

When his partner died, he gave up on life and allowed himself to become morbidly obese, forgetting the fact that he still had a daughter to live for.

I don't understand how anyone can empathize with the main character. I can sympathize, yes, but not empathize.

His caretaker/the sister of his late partner is insufferable. She tells him that his daughter shouldn't be there and that she shouldn't visit. She's his daughter (whom HE wronged). She's (Caretaker) also awful to the pretend-missionary kid. When he tells her he disagrees with her, she responds with, "Excuse me?" Like, how dare he have his own opinion. I think I dislike her even more than the main character.

The part where the main character scrolls through his daughter's Facebook page and comes across a nasty comment where someone calls her the 'D' word is not believable because whenever people make comments like that on Facebook, the comment gets removed by moderators, and they place restrictions on the person's account, sometimes even banning the person indefinitely from the platform.

There's also a lot of anti-Christian rhetoric. It's insensitive to its Christian audience. The part where the main character asks the missionary if it scares him to think the world is in the 'end of times' with a look of judgment on his face is so ironic because him, being morbidly obese and having congestive heart failure, is in the 'end of times' of his own life, so to speak. He's on the brink of death. Doesn't that scare him? So judgmental for a person who's eating his life away.

Hollywood needs to stop with all the Christian bashing. All other religions aren't bashed in film, and that's great, but they always tend to bash Christians in particular. It makes you wonder 'why?'

This film is about dysfunction. It's about dysfunctional families, dysfunctional friendship, dysfunctional relationships, and unique people. Lol. I really liked it. It's very realistic in a sense that it doesn't portray picture perfect and ideal people. Vera Ferminga and Christopher Plummer did an amazing job in portraying their characters: flakey immature father and daughter with daddy issues whose life has been formed by that. Give this film a chance. Don't be so quick to judge. It's light hearted and fun. I understand that while it might not be for everyone, there are people out there with this type of life. In my opinion, it's refreshing to see it in film because it's not often we do.

The first 30 minutes were great. It seemed promising, but then it all crumbled. If Bill Skargard's character, Keith, would've turned out to be a creep, the movie would've been so much better and scarier, as it would've been more realistic. Plot twists in movies are either a hit or miss. In this film, it was definitely a miss.

So there's a literal inbred, superhuman-like creature living in a hidden dungeon in the basement with her rapist father? It's far fetched and very unlikely. The homeless man saying that the old lady comes out at night, yet has never messed with him, being that the neighborhood is pretty much deserted with vacant homes, and he's the only there makes absolutely no sense.

I also didn't like how the police were portrayed as careless, completely oblivious and unreliable. Tess has several chances to escape and doesn't. The part where she goes and grabs her car keys, gets in her car and then jams her car into the inbred woman with super strength, and still she doesn't die? Plllease! Utter nonsense.

I can't believe that this movie has such high ratings. I'm extremely disappointed and mad that I wasted my time watching this. It was so good at first. If only they would've just kept it realistic, the movie could've been great. Absolutely Ridiculous.

I felt horrible about the fact that 2 out of the 3 perpetrators didn't face any jail time for the mere fact of testifying against the 3rd perp in court. The 3rd perp expressed his "remorse' to the judge. The judge believed him, and the man was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 15 years. Not only were they all being uncooperative and lying to the police at first, they were also following the street code of "no snitching." It wasn't until they were backed into a corner where they finally caved and chose to cooperate. Rest In Peace to the poor man who lost his life just because he pist someone off.

The fact that this movie is fiction, yet also based on a non-fictitious person: ELVIS, is just flat out weird. Elvis had a twin who died in the womb. Tween producing this film, they decided to implement certain real life elements of Elvis' life and switch it up a bit. This is how I imagine it going:

What if Elvia' twin was born, but the parents couldn't support him, so they gave him up for adoption to a pastor and his wife who couldn't have kids of their own. Let's change their names, but make them look exactly like Elvis.

It's just bad, bad, bad. Idk how anyone would even think this is a good idea. It comes off as if the writer is an crazy fanboy/girl who creates these fantasy scenarios of "what ifs" in Elvis' life. I don't care if he's a celebrity or a musical icon, it's still flat out creepy and weird!

So many big names/great actors in this film whose potential were not utilized. The protagonist who plays theoretical Elvis and Elvis' theoretical brother is not a very good actor, which makes me assume he got the role on the mere fact that he resembles Elvis.

I couldn't bring myself to finish the movie. If you haven't seen this, take my advice: Don't.

This movie is ridiculous. The world is literally ending, and they make jokes? The jokes aren't even remotely funny to top it off. When I saw who the cast was, the film seemed promising, but it was total unrealistic garbage. How does a film have Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, Charlie Plummer, Donald Sutherland, and Michael Peña and still suck? It was too rushed as well. I got through almost one hour of it and just couldn't take it anymore. If you're looking for a good sci-fi film, this is not it.

I really liked this episode because it was kid friendly. There weren't any sex scenes, like how there is in most episodes. I usually have to be cautious when watching Black Mirror and my 13 year old is around. I liked how the sisters bonded and how the older sister ended up playing and performing with Miley's character, Ashley. I'll definitely give it another watch and invite my daughter to sit and join.

Metalhead takes the cake of worst Black Mirror episode.

1. It was black and white in an attempt, I'm sure, to be artsy. It felt more pretentious than anything.

2. I didn't understand the point of the radio conversations or what homeboy was trying to do with the van.

3. All that just for some stupid teddy bears? Wow. I had thought that they were going for something that they were in desperate need of, like medical supplies or food, you know, ESSENTIALS.

4. If the robot dog saw heat through walls, why was it roaming the house looking for her? Didn't make sense.

This episode could've been good. In fact, it could've been real good, but it wasn't. I literally had through fast forward through pointless mundane moments.

If you haven't seen this episode yet, do yourself a favor and skip it.

Season 1: 10 Stars Season 2: 4 Stars (Maggie makes it unwatchable among other things.) Season 3: Negative 1 Star

Season 1 was awesome! Loved how it all worked out in the end.

Season 2 should've been about bringing Maggie and the real Pete back, patching things up, and Marius Josipovic confessing the truth to the family, but redeeming himself somehow (for a happy ending.)

Season 3 was completely unnecessary and unrealistic with grandma and grandpa joining in on the action, like some old James Bonds. Taylor hooking up with grandpa's side piece from the past was just nauseating. Also, are we really supposed to believe that grandpa hooked up with a woman of her stature? I understand if grandpa would've been remotely attractive, such as the actor who plays Mr. Braverman in Parenthood. Grandpa wears the same dirty tank top with the unbuttoned checkered shirt in LITERALLY every episode. Another issue I had with season 3 is the Lizzie character. She really came out of nowhere. Marius was clearly in love with Julia season 1 and season 2, but in season 3 he loves Julia more like one would love a family member?

It's clear that season 2 was a bit of a money grab but with a bit of hope. Now with season 3 that's all it was; a money grab. No wonder the show was cancelled. When shows I love are cancelled, I feel robbed of closure. However, I don't feel robbed of closure with the cancellation of Sneaky Pete. I just feel annoyed that it got off to a great start, had awesome potential, and then plummeted. There are lots of reviews from people complaining about all the unanswered questions, but I don't even care.

This documentary was an eye opener as to how the system digs their claws into the youth that never stood a chance due to their upbringing or better yet, lack of. The parents failed them, the system failed them. It's just sad. It's not right. I hated how the one of the kid's lawyers didn't even fight for him. She just settled for everything the prosecutor threw at him. What a joke of an attorney. She's clearly just in it for the money and should be removed from her position. She doesn't care about helping her clients, and she should not be allowed to handle juvenile cases.

Sophie cheating on Nick, when he is very much out of her league... She won the jackpot by marrying him. He's attractive, a great father, a great husband, a great brother, a great son, a great son in-law, a great friend - just an overall great person.

I didn't like Pia's character. She's unapologetic, vulgar, angry all the time, and she goes on dating apps for random late night hookups. (New-age feminist)

(Also, the fact that people constantly refer to Sophie and Pia as attractive/cute is beyond me.)

I hated the little sympathy and lack of compassion all of the characters portrayed towards Nick's mom. She wasn't even allowed to be mad about her daughter in-law's affair. I also didn't like how Sophie's mom was okay with the affair. But again, this is Netflix where women can do no wrong, even when they do.

There's a flashback that Sophie has where one of her friends tells her that Nick is so "fu*kable" as she and the rest of the gal-pals proceed to check him out. So do morals, values, and respect not matter at all to people nowadays?

There's just a lot wrong about this show. Are we really supposed to believe an old lady was the cat fish? People her age usually aren't tech savvy. They can barely take a decent picture, let alone be experts in the field of photoshop.

Other things I didn't like is how Sophie tells Pia that how dare she take her black teenage son to the police station. Then goes off to tell her son that Pia wouldn't understand (because she's white.) She says, "Your father and I taught you better than that." So they taught their son to fear the police? Got it.

It's all propaganda. It's all "Clickbait."

It was good, some of the acting was not that great, but Kate Bosworth and Natalie Martinez totally make up for it. I don't get all the negative reviews. Only thing I hate about it is that Moses died.
