Query: NOT A DOC

Staged--and obviously so--from beginning to end, this is a movie that purports to be a documentary. I'm guessing that was the distributor's idea, but whatever the deal, anyone who buys into the notion that CATFISH is anything other than a complete fabrication clearly hasn't seen many documentaries. As pseudo-docs go, this one is no worse than THE LAST EXORCISM or PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. It's entertaining and at times suspenseful, but branding it a documentary is misleading, and the story loses a lot of its impact when you realize (roughly ten seconds into the main character's attempt to act convincingly, in my case)you're watching a made up story rather than a documented account of a loser tricking a gullible narcissist into believing in her cyber-fantasy. Had I bought the thing rather than checked it out from Netflix I would've sued the filmmakers for false advertisement.
