Not Cool is a cautionary tale of how being able to make videos that go viral does not necessarily make someone a filmmaker. Read full review

Not Cool is the Internet culture of artlessness, excess, empty popularity, whining and sex-fueled hatred writ large. Read full review

A raunchy comedy that is so poorly executed and so unfunny that no one involved with it should ever be allowed to work in the movies again. Read full review

Very good movie, the movie contains a lot of sarcastic jokes which made me laugh. The plot is a bit kitschy but all in one very nice. I would recommend the movie to anybody that likes black humor:)

I don't care what other people say. This movie was as funny as hell. Good job, Shane. Don't let anybody put you down. You will always be my favorite YouTuber.

Really funny, entertaining and with a good story. Much more than a 90 minute Youtube video. Although the comedy style will surely turn off a lot of people, and the review score confirms that, I enjoyed it. 'nuff said.

I really think that the movie is a copy of a bad comedy. All the jokes exaggerates to a point that isn't funny. The goal of a comedy is make laugh and for that you must be a good director.
I understand that Shane is a normal person making a movie, but still.

The main idea, so many times have seen it!! In so many bad movies, come on!. The actors were doing what they could, but I can't say they made it. They just act like everybody could because the characters were empty.… Expand

Not Cool was the movie that Shane Dawson had always dreamed of creating; but what he created was not entertaining, humorous, or enthralling at all. This movie acts as more proof that YouTubers should stick what they are good at: making YouTube videos. The plot had no substance, jokes grew trite very quickly, and the actors, a lot of them his friends, were just not good. It was basically a 90 minute YouTube video, and grows old fast. I love Shane and his channel, but his humor just doesn't belong in long movies, or anything on a larger scale than a YouTube video.… Expand

This movie is offensive to everyone and anyone. As a filmmaker myself, I find it incredibly sad to see money go down the drain that could have gone to one of my fellow filmmakers.

While this can be good in some cases, Dawson offers no sense of irony, commentary, or nuance to the subjects he bashes. The film just comes across as 90 minutes of bullying. I echo the sentiment the LA times reviewer, this movie was made for sociopaths.… Expand

I think "Not Cool" is one of the worst movies I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. it's even too bad to fall into the category of "So bad, It's good". The over-the-top facial expressions and actions, the unfunny humor, the blatant racism.

I love Shane Dawson's YouTube channel, I've been a fan for a few years now and still watch his videos today, but I don't think making movies is his strong point. I think only 14 year old boys will get some laughs out of this, and even most of their laughs will only be about how bad it is.… Expand
