Terrible, waste of time

The two stars are for the slight twist (although this is revealed in the synopsis, so hardly a real shocker) to the plot. All the characters were strange and really unlikeable. I never understood why they were all still sticking around. Ridiculous and unbelievable and pointless. The reality TV jumpiness of the filming is distracting and annoying and is about as interesting and worthwhile as reality TV (i.e., not at all). I want those two interminable hours of my life back. I nearly gave up a couple times, but watched on, hoping it might redeem itself somewhere. The whole thing was cringe-worthily awkward, but I suppose that was the point. Trouble is it was also laughably implausible and boring at the same time. Could have been done so much better than it was, with some actual plotting and a different director. I felt the actors were probably quite good, but there wasn't much for them to work with. Definitely would not recommend.
