Maybe it was just the hotness of MOBU or the zaniness of the bloggist, but this film was definitely worth watching.
It kept me interested all throughout and had some very decent moments of humor.
i highly recommend it if you want to watch a lil something different from the norm.
Very well done movie, and that comes from someone who HATES facebook ;-)

thx Amazon for providing this outlet for good content!

Who's never stalked someone on FB. God knows I have for sure! This movies is ingenious in the way that it taps into everyone's little dark secret of Facebook stalking! Admit it...you know you've done it before at least once! Lol! Yeah the concept can seem quite desperate, but the four main actors have been perfectly casted and make it an adventure. Who wouldn't want a hottie like Mo Bu stalking them ;) !

Wow - What a professionally done film! This is the first time I have seen this particular title and I can't imagine that any others can hold a candle to it! Everything was perfect! Francisco - prepare for something bigger, because you just ran a Nascar in a horse race!

The crew that put this together did an amazing job! The acting, the editing, direction, production - EVERYTHING here is ready for the bigger screens! I look forward to your next project! Keep up the great work!

I seen the trailer and enjoyed it, but had not realized the movie had been uploaded. I am glad the light went on in this old head to hit play. I was intrigued with the Facebook drama setting the characters, circumstances of the story and then into the Farm cartoon which made for a great opening scene. Owen seemed your average humdrum character, but as the others were introduced, the movie came to life and just got better throughout. Rishi kicked it off with his antics and by the time Jeff Pants opened his mouth, I knew this character was going to be hilarious. Mobu drives into the scene and within seconds another great character forms with little dialogue and a stare that makes you wonder what her problem is. So, these four set off on their road trip to rescue Owens fair maiden Jessica and I will admit it was a fun ride to watch. Hats off to writers, cast and crew of this production; it is more than a test movie.

I wanted to see a test movie at its best and this certainly fulfilled its promise. It's as close a test movie can be to actual productioon.

The premise is original, the story structure is very well put together with almost no dead space at all. Cisco has done a teriffic job of directing a good cast in a fast pased fun film.

The music moves us along with the plot, as the well placed dialogue keeps us entertained and the action is never stale. Many little extras gives it a fun push, for example: when Rishi is handed a map book with a map on the front cover and he tries to enlarge it by pressing his fingers on the map and pushing outward.

The emotion could have been a bit more fulfilling, perhaps with Rishio and Mobu3's relationship brought to the next level.

As stated, the cast is a good one, but emotionally I found myself enjoying the characters of Jeff and Mobu3 the most. Mobu3 being the most charismatic. I thouight the characters of Jessica and owen could have been more compatible, perhaps with Jessica being a bit more nurdy or Owen being a bit less.

All in all, I enjoyed it as much as I've ever enjoyed any movie of this type. Of course it still needs final polishing in the actual production. I look forward to seeing this in the theater.

Great work guys,

Anthony Ingoglia

Well in short I enjoyed the film and I think that with very few changes it could be made into a very profitable film. My main completely nonsensical reason for saying this is that my wife was surfing the net while I was watching the film and she kept getting distracted from surfing and asking me questions about the film. And it has been my experience that project that grab her attention like that have huge potential.

Now in long I truly enjoy the characters and the premise. On the characters I know the point is that no one really knows each other, but I would have liked to learn more about the characters as they went on their journey. Just so they'd feel more like people you know and not just super internet nerds. I think Rishi's character was actually fleshed out really well and I empathized with him even more than Owen. Also I think that Jessica needs more dialog because if you blink at the beginning you miss a lot about her character. Plot wise I actually believe the motivation for all the events in the film and was actually surprised by how well thought out the course of action in the film felt. I actually was only taken out of the film and slightly "disappointed" by the drag club sequence. The jokes felt forced here and the whole scene seemed to take to long. I enjoyed the song but I think if it was just going on in the background instead of a focal point in the scene hearing it would have been more shocking/funny. The ending was clever but it felt long as well. I think what it was is that we knew Owen knew everything about Jessica, but the film had him spouting out several facts instead of one major fact (the barn would have been perfect) before they take out the Villan. But seriously other than that I truly enjoyed the film and think you've got something that could go places.

Lastly great casting no one seemed wrong for their roles.

Congrats and good luck with the film.

What an awesome movie! I think the question of whether live-action test films can work is definitively answered here. The direction is superlative, the acting is great and separate and apart from Amazon this is the type of movie that could garner major festival attention. If test movies are "proof of concept," this film hits a grand slam.

Really enjoyable experience top to bottom that is very worth watching.

I thought the movie was had a good story line. It reveals how people connect today; less in person - more through tech. The characters were good. Though, I thought "Pants" was a little over the top and MOBU would have benefitted with more dialogue with the other characters and more of her "tough-cookie" aspect of her character. The two main characters, I thought, had solid dialogue and you understood them more.

The interesting thing about this story is that it's about a topic that seems somewhat taboo and many people are familiar with around the world. This led me to think I knew how the story would unfold and eventually end. But the story took a turn right before the climax that genuinely explored the premise realistically and imaginatively, ending in a way that was clever and captivating. Definitely made me smile.

To all the filmmakers and actors... congratulations! Great performances... interesting shots... and all in a "test" movie. I can imagine that your team would pull off some very awesome things if you were to have a big budget behind you. This film had so much production value!

My favorite moment was when Rishi got the coffee spilled on him "Who chooses coffee as a weapon?!?!?". In fact, just thinking about it is making me laugh again. He was great!

Awesome title sequences too... very slick.

Congrats again.. cant wait to see more!

This movie is incredibly well down and I think that is the only negative I can find for it. Clearly a high budget film, the actors are good, the camera work is good especially on the car scenes. It is very difficult to get a smooth recording on a road with a rear facing camera. I do feel that the professional element goes against the test film genre, it does not seem like these very talented individuals will ever have an issue in movie making if this is their "test" film.

A couple of laugh out loud moments, the hot coffee scene for one.

With a few re-shot scenes & development on the music I think it could be a real good film. Love the storyline, and I think quite a few people can relate to it.

I think it should be completely invested in, with some further work on the odd scattered scene & transitions. Some scenes like the ending, and a central scene or two could be extended - as sometimes I felt it was perhaps condensed, or more room to explore the scene?

But beyond the first 20 minutes, it really roped me in & tended to keep my attention. I hope you guys are really happy with what you developed. Thanks for entertaining me on this boring Friday evening!

For a low budget film, I thought it was really cute. The premise of being so concerned about a person that has only existed virtually to the main character was very amusing and relevant to today's online social networking. The main character seemed a bit flat though, either in the acting or maybe it was his lines. Some of the minor characters were also not very convincing. I was very amused by Pants and MOBU, they kept me entertained through to the end. I really loved the song in the scene at The Library, even though the lyrics were on the foul side I found it really catchy and was singing it all day much to my husband's chagrin. Overall, an amusing film with some great characters and promising actors!

I definitely enjoyed the movie!

My only gripe is with the graphics of the car being blown up and the imaginative background scenery when driving. But I'm sure that just boils down to a limited budget.

My 2 favorite scenes: 1. Rishi & Mo drinking @ the bar, then Rishi 'letting it all out' and then Mo jumping all up on him - funny. 2. Pants pours coffee (which I presume is hot) all over Rishi, whose reaction is hilarious. You would think he'd hit Pants immediately, but he waits a bit THEN clobbers him. Love it 'cause like other aspects of the movie, it's not too predictable.

Great job guys. Wish you all the best!

I think this movie should be rated pg-13 for the language. I believe it is more of an drama/comedy movie.
The title is great, and it makes people wonder. (Me) I rated this movie by my honest opinion. I like the character who plays Mo. Mo has a good way of acting, she knows what she is doing a d really shows that on the outside.
The summery is cool I understood it and I enjoyed the movie. I am sure tons of people would love it.

The movie seemed poorly paced in the beginning. I thought the character set-up was necessary to the plot but could have been cut into the road trip AFTER the entourage left to find the dead facebook friend. The potential difference in pacing would have kept me paying closer attention to the movie as a whole. I have to admit that I am sick at home today and so I have been wearily watching movies and TV all day. The scene in the bathtub with Rishi and Owen on the phone was great! However as an audience member it was easy to peg Rishi as inept with the ladies and I think the director spent too much time trying to send me this message.
Overall a great movie in every aspect of story structure except for pacing. A really great movie!
