|Yeah, the ending worked for me if I'm honest... ...but it still held back too much in a very obvious way: [[I am disappoint|no fucking nudity]]! Panties and bras all the way through, which makes no sense at all in the story at hand. If you go for it, dare to go for it completely and not hold back in such an obvious fashion. It talked the talk but ultimately it failed to walk the walk. It's a very common Hollywood flaw.

Megan Is Missing is a romantic-comedy, written & 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 following their coming into contact with a mysterious online stranger. The director affords his 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 could possibly have been extracted from the two leading actresses 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 Chaplin, Keaton or Fritzl.
Whilst developing the storyline Goi drew inspiration from a number of real-life incidents; eventually gaining support from Marc Klaas, founder of KlaasKids Foundation, whose own daughter Polly Klaas experienced a situation somewhat akin to that of the film's two protagonists.
In the US the film is MPAA 'Unrated' on DVD; at the time of writing it has not been submitted to the BBFC.
Dramatis personæ
- 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 throughout the local area as a result of her playful ways and giving nature.
- 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
The character of Josh is a pretty cool guy. eh knows how to talk to the ladies and doesn't afraid of anything.
