Megan Is Missing

Released: 2011 Distributor: Anchor Bay Entertainment Country: America Unrated: 1 hr. 26 min.

Megan Is Missing is a Romantic-Comedy written and directed by Michael K. Goi that was released in 2011 to mostly average reviews. The film depicts the adventures of two happy go-lucky friends on a journey to juvenile self-discovery after coming into contact with a mysterious stranger. The director affords the audience a voyeuristic view of proceedings by making use of the "found footage" technique employing a variety of sources including web cams, mobile-telephones, televised news-reports and a selection of photographic material. Many were initially critical of the film's subdued opening; stating that more humour from the two leading actresses could possibly have been extracted however, the general consensus would appear to be that the final-act is a true comedic tour de force, comparable in its spirit to the great works of Keaton, Chaplin or Fritzl.

Dramatis personæ

Megan Stewart

• Megan
  

In stark contrast to her "BFF" the character of Megan (portrayed by Rachel Quinn) is a precocious social-butterfly ever popular amongst her schoolmates and well known within the local area as a result of her playful ways and giving nature.

Amy Herman

• Amy
  

More timid and less socially capable the character of Amy (Amber Perkins) is a constant companion to Megan; this association is something of a double-edged sword in that it brings with it not only protection from, but also exposure to, varying forms of new and unprepared for experience.

"Josh"

• Josh
  

The character of Josh is a pretty cool guy. eh knows how to talk to the ladies and doesn't afraid of anything.

Synopsis

Megan and Amy meet an older boy named "Josh"... with hilarious results.

Reception

iFapped

	“	Have you ever seen a movie where a 14 year old incredulously explains being face-raped by a camp counselor? I hadn't either, until about 20 minutes into this one. The point where she begins to describe, with a smile, turning blue, is when I began examining this movie from arms-length like a piece of art.	„
	—Chris Chambers

	“	The webcam and video phone chat conversations that took place did not make sense. First of all, you can't do video chat from an old Motorola Razr phone, which was clearly the type of phone that was shown she was using. Those phones don't have the capability to do video chat.	„
	—Trish

	“	It contains very graphic and long images of a young teenage girl getting raped, thrown in a barrel with her best friend's dead body, and buried alive. If you are at all sensitive about visual imagery please don't watch this.	„
	—Pen Name

	“	I'll never look at barrels the same way again.	„
	—Robby

	“	Jesus Christ, the last 20 minutes. I understand getting a point across, but depicting it in such a brutal and graphic way is completely unnecessary. I found myself fast-forwarding through most of it.	„
	—thencomesdudley

	“	This 'movie' is basically just a lot of obnoxious footage of 2 irritating teenage girls making YouTube style videos calling each other 'bitches' and 'sluts'... sicko/psychos now have some new masturbation material.	„
	— Explorator

	“	Its a movie that parents must see and must be seen together with the sons.	„
	—Emir Moros Adams
