Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

dubwize This show should be called: 99% of people online have no idea how to check a facebook profile.Reverse image search tools and actually reading linked facebook profiles is about the extent of "Investigative research" that Max and Nev actually are capable of doing. This show proves 2 things, most people have no clue about the power of the internet, both to lure gullible people into fake relationships and it can be used to actually validate if a person is real or not.The one thing great about the show and why it deserves 5 stars is the guys always seek a positive outcome and try to sort it all out to the best of their abilities.The one thing annoying and downright artificial are the Social Justice Warrior T-shirts they wear. In particular is a pink one with the words "feminist." on it. I mean come on.... really? It is interesting on one level of social communication in the digital age and exemplifies how messed up it can get. Conversely it is troubling that the TV show has a social agenda as MTV always has had and is duplicitous in the subtleness in which the show uses their stories as a vehicle to creating 'Societal norms" at a level that would make Edward Bernays proud.Pros: Catfish shows clearly: How oblivious some people can be about their own actions and consequences. How unaware some people are about their "information" whether real or false shown publicly, and how vulnerable it makes them. How easy it is to convince some people of anything. Every Song used in the show titles the song name and song title. If anything this show provides a great case why Facebook should be banned as being destructive to people, community and society.Cons: Max finally learns how to use the focus on his personal camera after 6 years making the series. Nev and Max show even they are gullible enough to be catfished themselves. Sometimes their T-shirts on the show oozes a stench of Social Justice Warrior, overly Pc Correct subtexts. The frequent use of MTV music to transition storyline through the filler footage and montages is used too much in some episodes. The entire idea of Catfish is one that is based on a foundational premise of people lying cheating and deceiving other people, by revealing how easy it is could give others ideas and make Catfish episodes an endless Tv show.Goofy over-acted repetitious format overall yet stylized well, some episodes are worth a look, even though I suspect it's all scripted.

agro_sydney I had seen the original Catfish movie several years ago which I found mildly entertaining but for some reason I love this show. Nev and Max travel all over mainland USA tracking down and uniting internet friends,lovers and scammers. It is hard to believe there are so many naive and gullible people out there. Some episodes appear to be advertisements for MTV artists, budding rappers and sometimes even the occasional beautiful person to get on TV or have their 15 minutes of fame. Some of the episodes build tension as we wait to find out if the Catfish is "fair dinkum" (which means real in Australian slang).I have since learned that the producers are in touch with the Catfish who agrees beforehand to appear on the show. Also casting calls are sent out to recruit Catfish and victims. Apparently Nev and Max are not told the identity of the Catfish and genuinely track them down.Some scenes are obviously scripted and edited. Being Australian I like how we see lots of different places in America and different lifestyles, from red necks to the rich.

Chappy Watched I had heard of catfishing and what it meant but never really knew the story of how it all began.This was a show I stumbled upon just flicking channels and decided to watch. After watching about three episodes on TV, I decided to watch the movie and then after watching the movie of Nev's story, I marathoned all three seasons.Wow.I'm just blown away by some of these stories. I've never been catfished and I can't understand why anyone waste all this time and energy into being this different person?So after Catfish: The Movie explored Nev's story, he joins his brothers buddy Max, who was not in the film, to travel across America to help people in the same predicament as he was.Nev and Max make a good team; they would have to with all the together time these two would have filming this and Nev seems to be the hopeless romantic of the pair while Max is the realist.One thing that kind of annoyed me, they're always try to find some deeper meaning to the catfish. After dealing with the person who emailed them, they head off to talk to the catfisher and get their side. Most times there is a story but sometimes they try to dig to get one when sometimes, people are just assholes!As the show started airing and word starting getting around, I started to wonder about the truthfulness of the stories in the later season; how much of it was really people in need or people just looking for their 15 minutes of fame.I don't think you can have a 'relationship' with someone without having seen them, let alone one episode where a couple were 'engaged' without even meeting each other.And that takes me to my next point: Webcam not working? Bullshit! Most modern computers with webcams, most modern phones come with cameras and even if they don't, webcams are dirt cheap to buy.On the rare occasion, some of these people even brought gifts or sent money to the catfish! They were the moment where I just wanted to reach into the screen and shake these people.I did like how, even being a MTV show, they still accepted gay and lesbian catfishes.The soundtrack is pretty cool too with a mix of pop and alternative music, with the artist and track listed, in case you want to buy it.It is a good show, eye opening, but good. Not something I would watch again though but I will watch more if and when it airs.

graven420 i could not agree more with the other review i will leave it at that anything by Ariel Schulman is not worth watching and his brother sucks just as much i would honestly watch a blank screen over anything created by those two i hate directors that lie if they would be straight up then i wouldn't mind but they lie about everything the movie they made = fake this show = fake paranormal activity boring and a bunch of senseless angles i suggest if you don't feel like wasting your life then don't watch this. and this is something that gos out to the people stupid enough to believe fake profiles online its called a freaking webcam im sory but if someone your talking to says they don't have one or don't know how to use it then obviously they are full of crap and if they do provide you with a webcam then its as simple as getting them to write your name on paper to know that it is real if you fall for fakes your an idiot
