Right after finishing this I sort of hated it. The more I thought about it, the less I hated it but still... Pretty meh and it required parsing it apart to get anything out of it. What I liked was that you have this lost teenager whose reality is entirely influenced by what she sees and hears on the internet (including what JLB says to her). I wish it would have gone into this more and in a less confusing way because I felt confused while I was watching it and then dissatisfied when it ended. Had I liked the main character more maybe I would have been ok with having to let this one digest a little, but it was like hanging out with a fairly dumb teenager and then trying to salvage meaning from what they say and do.
There is a short ass conversation between Casey and JLB toward the end and then his little tying up of things and I think the whole crux of the movie is in this short span. Where she mentions Strange Loop theory and then he talks about the two of them going outside of the MMORPG--when there was seemingly no game being played--to have essentially a 'real conversation' about something serious. I had to take this short little part into consideration with the whole thing to get anything out of it.
