In my opinion this is an awesome movie, partially because it had quite a great impact on me due to the fact that it depicts what marketing is about what it's capable of. Moreover as it not only has a great and enjoyable storyline filled with plenty of interesting and sometimes thrilling scenes but it goes to another level by having a kind of educational atmosphere and makes you think about the meaning of it all for days, at least in my case. Anyway, if you're interested in how to make people do what you want them to do or you're looking to sell something to certain groups or happen to be into marketing, I definitely recommend watching this, because it's more than worth the time.
... View MoreThis is one really refreshing movie with very good actors, very good/real story in the sea of bad movies in last few years. Of course, I couldn't forgive some things like Shiloh's character but all men are not the same. It is the fact that people can be manipulated in many ways - in this case is shopping, marketing and ads. Amber Heard did a great job, one of her best roles until now. She is beautiful in many ways and show us how girl or woman can be different at home, at office, ... Scenes were great, color full and dynamic. Shiloh Fernandez and Amber Heard are one and only choice for 2 main roles. And 10 stars is because - at the and you aspect sweet Hollywood end but you don't get what you expect. My recommendation for all my dear IMDb fans, visitors, writers and readers - this movie is MUST WATCH movie. Greeting for everyone and HAPPY NEW 2015 YEAR to ALL. :)

View MoreI haven't read the book, but reading the comments it would appear as though its fairly different so I don't think this matters much as far as a review of the film is concerned.The main thing that distracted me through the whole movie was the casting of Shiloh Fernandez as Scat, other than maybe having the look of a sleazy marketer, he seemed massively out of place as a male lead. I didn't think there was any chemistry between him and Amber Heard at all, any attraction between the two seemed totally implausible. He'd probably be fine in a supporting role, but not as a lead. I was wondering the whole time if his father financed the movie or something to get him the role.Other than that the movie was OK, it did seem to be trying to hard to be cool and edgy and didn't really pull it off. Sure it had a tiny budget, but if anything doing things on a shoe string should make a movie more cool and edgy, but it wasn't at all. Everything that was meant to be cool seemed forced and cliché.On the positive side, I thought Amber Heard was great as 6, as was her character. I can see why the ending left a few unhappy, but I think it was better to do what they did than just some by the numbers rom-com ending.
... View MoreThis movie was so awful I felt compelled to write a review. Do not waste your time or money on this movie in any way shape or form. Even if someone offers to give it to you and pay you to watch it... don't.I don't know if the acting could be any more terrible.. the cliché voice overs, stereotypes, and just plain wooden acting of all of the actors and actresses in this movie are a total turnoff from the opening moment. The funny thing is that Amber Heard and Britney Snow are actually pretty descent actresses so it was kind of painful to watch them in this.I finally shut it off about 2/3 through because I couldn't care less what happened to any of the characters.
