Cam-Girl (2016)

'Airplane Mode' is a young adult movie that is about a woman who learns to step away from her smartphone, and from social media.

A young girl named Copi and her pet dog Xico travel into the mountain when they hear that something's not right.

This holiday movie serves as the prequel to the TV series The Really Loud House.

In a film where a Black couple is framed to be the lead characters, they still managed to get shuffled off to the sidelines. The enthusiastic cast delivers well on goofy bits- but can only go so far before they begin to fall flat.

The most impressive aspect of this film is the honest and natural performances given by the on-screen duo.

In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
