Catfish: or, how to lose $8.50 and alienate viewers.

After you see this movie you will want to kick Ariel Shulman in the dick. And then you will want to find Henry Joost, the other director, and kick him in the taint. I was paid to see this movie and I still feel ripped off.
The ads portray the movie as some type of psycho thriller. It's even billed as "the best Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never directed." This news would make Alfred Hitchcock do somersaults in his grave. This movie is not a thriller, in fact no part of this movie is thrilling. There are maybe, maybe ten minutes of the movie that will have the audience on edge, and even that falls on its face and disappoints.
As for the "emotional rollercoaster" the trailers promise, the only emotions you're going to feel in the last ten minutes is pissed off and robbed of your hard earned money.
The only thing that could make this movie worse would be a circus clown coming out midway through and hitting you in the face with a wet trout. Even then, that would distract you from this disaster so maybe it would be comparably refreshing.
If you work a minimum wage job it would take approximately one hour to pay for a ticket to this monstrosity. Here are a few better ways to spend that hard earned money: eat it, get it turned into pennies and throw them at the homeless, flush it down the toilet, any of these are a better use of your money.
After reviewing the final cut this film should have been taken into a field and shot by the producers.
