You can’t have it both ways, Jason. You can’t set up a deeply contrived film, then refuse to conclude your film because life is messy.
Full reviewWriter-director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno) adapts Chad Kultgen’s bestseller that examines the sexual frustrations felt by teens and adults through the perspective of today’s wired-up world. Stars Adam Sandler, Jennifer Garner, Emma Thompson, Ansel Elgort and Judy Greer.
A group of high school teenagers and their parents navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives - staring down social issues such as video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and illicit material.
You can’t have it both ways, Jason. You can’t set up a deeply contrived film, then refuse to conclude your film because life is messy.

Full reviewSkillfully navigates through the personal melodramas of many characters with a nice sense of balance and a sharp appreciation of generational differences.
Full reviewThe problem isn't so much what the film is saying but its shrill, alarmist tone.
