    Best music video movie in a long time

    Great music and a really good story line to capture the drama of high school love. Production quality is impressive too. Loved how they built such a great product with so little speaking. Sydney and Chase were awesome in their roles. The set design and costumes were impressive. Loved the mean girls look at the start and how she evolves. Travis Barjer, MGK and Baze in the van 💀, really all music performance clips were really well placed to build the story. I've watched it multiple times and still enjoy it every time. The album deserved an award. Glad the rating here is at least accurate. Solid 8+.

    This was great

    MGK brought something completely different to the table and I loved every single second of it The man does everything Whoever says that he is not talented because he just dissed Eminem they need to see Colson as a person I am also an Eminem fan this movie all in all was great

    Is not really a movie, but the vibe you get from this is nice

    Is like many music videos with a few talking scenes. The story is ok. This is perfect if you want to watch a movie and listen music.

    Unique and surprising in a good way.

    Let's get something out of the way. This is barely a film. It's more like a one hour music video with a loose and cheesy storyline that ties all the videos together. That being said, I really enjoyed this project. The writing is cliche and sometimes overly dramatic and the acting can be a bit wooden but that's the point. It's like a filmed version of a medium budget stage production with an absolute killer soundtrack. All the songs in this are really good and bring back a nostalgic yet new feeling in their sound and lyrics. In the end, give this a watch. It's unique and unlike anything I've ever seen before.

    Nostalgic!!!

    It's a throwback to the 2000s (punk scene). Decent acting & story + powerful, apt soundtrack = solid directorial debut for Machine Gun Kelly & Modsun
