Starts off funny but becomes a frustrating exercise in dj vu for anyone who's graduated from high school or seen a movie.

As delete-worthy as its social media inspirations.

If ever a film demanded to be viewed on a phone, it's this one.

2.5/5

Little more than a feature-length tween sitcom episode, Status Update is not exactly a good movie. However, its script is earnest enough and its cast is endearing enough that it's just a better editor away from being not bad.

2/5

This teen comedy with a "be yourself" message is slickly artificial, grinding painfully through extremely well-worn plot mechanics and essentially failing to follow its own message.

Pretty good! A little corny at times but fun and watchable.

I understand why this movie is on Tubi. Sends a decent message about being yourself, but it’s cheesy and meant for teens.

It was a good story overall that made if fun to imagine what you might wish for to happen from the Universe if you had the power.

This movie had me in tears, i don't know if it was because the character playing Lonnie reminded me of how my high-school life was, being overweight and friendless. And by the end he had many friends. Or if it was the performance from Ross Lynch and Olivia SMOKIN ASS Holt! p.s Brec is smokin as well. this movie should have a Fresh rating of at least 79% but no America doesn't care for high-school love stories i guess. maybe it's just me!! i will 1,000% be re-watching this LEGENDARY movie!!!
