Review of Ask Me Anything (2014) by Jessica S — 14 Jul 2015

I happen to stumble upon As Me Anything because of my love for Christian Slater and films normally featuring a cast my age. This movie grabbed me the minute it started (the soundtrack is excellent). On top of an amazing cast, this movie felt completely authentic.

Its extremely hard to find something original anymore, that actually makes you stop and think. The main reason I fell in love with Ask Me Anything was the reality of it. Yes, I loved the story line, but the actual detail in both the book (Undiscovered Gyrl) and film were what sealed the deal.

When Katie is standing in front of the mirror with makeup all over her face, or when she over reacts to her mom, the way she runs from store to store looking for jobs, or the slightly inappropriate jokes she makes to Christian Slater on the first phone call.

They are REAL. Real emotions and actions of young adults, and that was so refreshing. Most movies and tv shows today that feature young adults might be fun to watch, but they aren't realistic, its not how people in there late teens act or speak.

This film is startlingly raw and true.
