Mean Spirited has plenty to say about YouTuber culture, but its unpolished horror-comedy approach has been outclassed many, many times before. DoNatoBomb's review:
aspires to stand alongside. The bar isn’t all that high. Ryan and co-writer Joe Adams sneak eerie satires about the hellscape of Hollywood into this first-person mockumentary about internet pranksters becoming the ultimate prank victims. Still, none of the duo’s best thoughts end up shining in a regrettably unpolished video package.presents itself as “Vlogumentary,” spearheaded by semi-viral prank specialist “The Amazing” Andy .
The narrative’s venom gets a lot right about vain YouTuber culture: The hyperspeed video edits that splice image gags into pre-recorded videos, all the nastiness about comparing your subscribers or likes to more successful creators. Excessiveness is on brand, and obnoxiousness is on par given how Andy is always chasing his million-hit breakout upload. If you’ve watched vloggers before, the aesthetics, overcompensating energy and stupidity in the name of engagement will feel authentic.
Budget restrictions make it difficult for actors to sell whatever’s on screen, devoid of tension or adrenalized excitement. Will Martin as the affable drunkard wildman “Dew” earns scant laughs via his caveman persona—an off-putting party clown who finds it necessary to record himself pooping . Michelle Veintimilla’s out-of-his-league girlfriend Nikki has to sell a very fake-looking skeleton as something she’s frightened of, with understandably minimal results.
