The Jokesters (2015)
Slow found footage burn
12 October 2015 - 4 out of 12 users found this review helpful.
I quite liked it. It's a mix of "found footage" and semi-scripted amateur YouTube channel style shooting.
It's a veeery slow burn. Most of the movie is getting to know the characters, and becoming familiar with their e-celebrity status and the toll their success takes on their personal relationships (and perhaps how it exacerbates underlying mental illness).
I found the actors attractive and likable. The relationships between them, and their families, were easy to relate to on a human level; despite how over-the-top their "prankster" e-celeb behaviors get at times.
I'd especially recommend it for:
- Found footage thriller fans - People interested in the intersections between psychology and social media
