"unREAL" is almost a mockumentary. This romantic comedy takes a no-holds barred approach to rebounding from broken relationships and post break-up single life in New York City. Plenty of laughs for both sexes when witnessing the trials and tribulations of post break-up single life in New York City while learning just how manipulated a documentary can be.

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Micransix Crappy film
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
mfc-id this was one of, if not the most underestimated delightful movies i can remember. this movie seriously needs to get more attention than it's gotten. i heard about it from a friend and have told others to see it too. i don't know how anyone can't at least get a kick out of the making fun of reality shows if not the story - which keeps developing and getting BETTER as it goes on. it sooooo accurately portrays dating and breaking up and being single - and is very clever and original at the same time. i highly recommend this movie, especially since it has gone somewhat unnoticed by mass audiences. a true diamond in the rough:)
ilovemoviesthismuch Wasn't sure what to expect with this movie but was very pleasantly surprised! It was soooo funny and a very accurate portrayal of single life/dating scene/post break-up stuff. A very cool and clever movie - not often seen in romantic comedies! It has a good and original story and keeps getting better and better as it goes on. It even has some twists as you get to the last third of the movie. It makes fun of reality shows without beating you over the head with any message. And it has a ton of HOT girls in it. I'm in love with the girl who plays Kate. I feel like I've seen her before but can't place my finger on it. Anyway she's the perfect girl! I highly recommend Unreal to anyone who likes cool indie movies.
Eunjeen I just finished watching this movie, so it is still fresh in my mind. This movie was awful! It was NOT "break-up therapy" as suggested at all!! This movie was more ABOUT reality shows than it was about break-ups/relationships. I think it would have been better if it was presented not as a documentary, but an actual movie. It seems almost realistic, since they didn't use actors and actresses that actually LOOKED like Hollywood actors/actresses (GOOD LOOKING), though I think the Jake character was good looking (I think he might be gay, though? A little too feminine.) Save your money and wait to see it on those B-list movies that come on UPN or something.
selfconscious1 unREAL - as ironically literal as a title could be - is the type of film with such absolutely relate-able truth that it is the perfect movie to watch when getting through a breakup, or for any time in a relationship or single life for that matter. It truly has something for everyone, whether you're the sensitive romantic type, or edgier player type. This movie captures the best and worst parts of every aspect of relationships. With that, it even has a twist in the story while poking fun at reality TV. UNREAL has quickly moved into my favs with REALITY BITES, SINGLES, and SWINGERS. It couldn't be more of a perfect breakup therapy!
