Synopsis

Kelly strips – her best friend Jordan captures the event on her mobile phone. Kelly’s name is well known among the visitors of (in)appropriate online portals. The two teenagers digitally record anything and everything that crosses their paths and upload the results to the internet. But, today is not their day: Kelly’s ex-boyfriend has taken her car containing a package she was not to lose under any circumstances. While searching for it, the two set off on a peculiar journey through a night peppered with drugs, sex, corrupt police officers and other catastrophes – and always with their trusty mobiles in hand.

adi_2002 Almost the whole movie is filmed with an hand-held camera witch make it even more dramatic, but this do not save the poor story and the plot. In one part we see the life of an American family and in the other the routine of a rebel teen devoid of reality. For me this can hardly can be named a film because there no essential content in it, just some girls having fun one night and that's the whole deal. Of course sex, drugs, booze and nudity can be missed to see.Normally when I write a review I talk about the story but for this one there is not much to say because there isn't one.If there is film who asks to be avoided then this is the one. I didn't give it the lowest vote because I've seen other films much more worse and boring then this one. It's dull but not in the way to put you asleep.
kosmasp This starts of pretty raunchy and sexual, but goes on to tell us a story. Some might be put off (no pun intended) by the way this is shot (Found Footage style). The main character is also very annoying (that's the point). It's also does shed light on the internet craze and what teenagers dream about or go through.It might not be the best example of a movie trying to educate and tell people what is going on. Someone like "King Kelly" also won't be educated on things or what she might possibly be doing wrong. Not by her family nor by her friends. The ego is bigger than this. So big, that it won't mind sacrifices (of any kind) ... Illusion is real
punishmentpark 'King Kelly' starts out pretty hot and titillating, but not before long it turns into some sort of a Blair Witch project, but filmed with only cellphones - how's about a camera on a tripod every now and then (in itself not necessarily a problem - BWP got away with it quite well)? Instead of a witch, the search is on for a bag of dope and in between people are celebrating the fourth of July, take assorted drugs and let the plot get out of hand, inch by inch, on a long and winding road. If things were somehow poignant and / or well-acted, I'd still be game, but unfortunately, no... even if the actors aren't doing too badly and some parts do have that 'diamond in the rough' quality to them.It's supposed to be a comedy (Imdb reference) - a satire of some sort? - but beyond one moment (''You're not even fat!'') I haven't laughed at all. 5 out 10, and I might be generous there.
lazarillo I'm not a big fan of the "caught-on-camera" genre. It may be the lingering-like-a-stale-fart influence of "The Blair Witch Project," or more likely the pernicious influence on-going "reality" TV craze, but most of these films, where everything is supposedly being captured on video by characters in the movie, fail miserably, even when the characters are actually INTENDING to document their entire lives on video like the protagonist, "King Kelly", is here. The problem is people don't act the least bit "real" when they know a camera is on them, but often take on the exaggerated persona of a bad actor in very bad and very annoying soap opera. I also think few realize that these "unscripted" or "reality" TV shows are actually filmed with many cameras and heavily edited to capture all of the alleged drama and none of the boring parts. That wouldn't realistically happen with someone spontaneously filming their every moment. Some stuff captured here would end up off camera and there would no doubt be a lot of other boring stuff in between.On the plus side, I was impressed with lead actress Louisa Krause who creates perhaps the sexiest AND most annoyingly stupid young female character I've seen in recent memory. "Kelly" is a budding internet porn star trying to create her own "King Kelly" website. She goes around crapping all over her family and friends and generally acting like spoiled, overly obnoxious middle-class princess well on her way into the world of prostitution. The main "drama" here involves her ex-boyfriend stealing her car, which happens to have $20,000 of heroin in the trunk that she didn't know about. (What idiot drug dealer would entrust a shipment to a total moron like this?). That part reminded of an interview I once saw with "celebrity" porn star Katie Morgan where she claimed she got into porn to hide out from her associates after a drug smuggling arrest (I'm sure they'll never figure out she's a porn star now). I suspect Morgan is putting on an act because no one is that stupid in real life, but "Kelly" in this movie manages to be even more stupid and obnoxious than any real-life porn or "reality" (or "reality" porn) star could ever be.She is also sexier than any real porn star (none of whom have Krause's degree of acting talent). She starts out the movie doing her solo act on-line (although since this is NOT a porn movie, the director chooses to pan over to the lewd comments of the guys watching her when the action heats up). She then has her friend film a memorable wet t-shirt scene. The most amazing scene though (for several reasons) might be where she films herself rubbing her American-flag-panty-clad ass all over her father's birthday cake! (I think the American flag panties and the fact the whole film takes place on the Fourth of July might be some kind of statement on America, but I'm not sure). Interestingly, Krause's most notable previous role was playing an underage amateur prostitute in the satirical black comedy "The Babysitters". Here she has moved to playing a "barely legal" amateur prostitute in another satirical black comedy. She has an undeniable talent, but I think she may be getting a little bit typecast. . .
