Decided to watch a movie and this movie in my opinion is not even worth a toilet bowl watch…
My synopsis:
A nerd rooms with a playboy in college and they work together to create a hookup app called the Jungle so the nerd can earn money to get into his dream college and get his dream girl.
Like most of its reviews, do not waste your time watching this!
It leaves you with a feeling of ickiness, especially if you are a girl…

My storyline:
The nerd, James moves into college and then he is also quite socially awkward. We then realise that this society is dumb and superficial and into hookups. The college students do not do their first assignment and James lies he didn’t to fit in.
After talking to his roomate, Lance, they then come to an agreement to create the hookup app as Lance had complaints about the current offerings. However, this was on the condition that James was not openly associated with the app. This lead to Lance becoming the developer of the app. Things take a turn when James realises that his mother is on the app.
He then takes down the app as well as other hookup apps. He then escapes his room as his roomate and his friends are forcing him to re-start the app. He runs into his crush Hannah and she helps him by hiding him in her sorority house. James then gives speeches about helping the females gain back their power. In the end he gets the girl, Lance develops feelings for a casual hook up.
My feelings:
Honestly, I love Noah, but then this movie was trash. I skipped most of it and it was probably the worst movie I have blogged about on this blog. This is just 100% what you would think a trash American movie is, in my opinion.
It depicts college students as all stupid and not hardworking, having no mind of their own, horny and hungry for sex. It depicts women controlled by men and men knowing nothing about treating women as equals. It depicts men liking girls only for their physical aspects. Not only that, but guys who study and in my opinion look normal as nerds or people that will never succeed in the social aspect of life. The message it brings across is that females are below males and that teenagers are obsessed with apps and sex.
It tries to evoke some type of feelings by saying that girls are in power if they are not on the apps. But to me, shouldn’t that be the preface of the story. That message is also hardly brought across except in words very briefly at the end. There is not really a well thought out solution to the problem they had in the movie. It just suddenly ends in my opinion with not much of a conflict. It is too short to try and address some of the problems they brought out with the movie.
Trashy movies can be entertaining, but this one is just a waste of time… Why does Lance even suddenly become a acceptable human being in the end? Why does he suddenly have feelings for a girl, when it was not even hinted at at all throughout the movie…
