The actor playing the main character was bad at acting, and the attempts at being cool were just cringey. The acting from the adults was hit and miss, and the whole movie felt boring and forced. The shots were nice looking and the cinematography was not bad, but it lacked any real voice. Low budget movies like Paranormal Activity or The Dirties can be good, because they make up for their low budget with high personality. Expelled is a mediocre to bad movie, and is not cringey enough to be so bad it is good either. It is just bad. Nice try though.

The basic moral of this story is that you can commit crime after crime, encourage criminal activity with other teenagers, not get jailed, so long as you can blackmail someone not to inform the police. Hilarious?I ended up watching this because my daughters had it playing through Netflix whilst I was working in the same room. This is no pleasant movie and certainly not suitable for children as it encourages repeat criminal behaviour, including hiding felons and jail breaking, hacking, breaking and entering, theft, blackmail, fraud and deceit. I needed to discuss the rights and wrongs of the behaviour encouraged in the movie with my daughters during and at the end; explaining that anyone committing these various acts would be jailed for 20 to 40 years in total.The main character players plays it for laughs as he encourages other to be complicit in his crimes. He badgers his girlfriend and another friend to commit fraud and cover up his crimes, later having them help blackmail someone.Whoever thought this was a good idea for a movie needs to be committed.

This movie had 4 stars on Netflix, I was like "Cool this should be good!" I get 5 minutes into Cameron Dallas's monotone acting voice and I am trying to cut my ears off.I decide it must get better. So 15 minutes into the movie or around there Matt Shively comes in and gives a wonderful performance with his sh*tty lines.At this point Cameron Dallas comes back on and breaks the 4th wall for the billionth time and I am dead, from all my cringing.If you want to break your neck from cringing, be my guest, watch this god awful movie.On the bright side the actor is good-looking (IMO) so once you cut your ears off you can just look at him to make yourself feel better about the 20 minutes you just wasted watching this garbage.

I'm just going to go right ahead and tell you not to waste your time with this. It tries to be some sort of tribute to Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off (FBDO), but instead it is a terrible TERRIBLE attempt at copying it. Felix? Seriously? They couldn't even find a name that wasn't so similar to Ferris. It was obvious from the very first sequences that the concept is basically the same, I mean come on, popular kid; the principal is the "villain"... The Skype call? That's like when Ferris uses his computer to alter the amount of absences he's had in the school's system. Addressing the audience is FBDO's trademark, so to speak. I could go on, but there's no point. If you want to watch an irreverent teen movie that's actually funny and original, watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off, OK? Not this pseudo-comedy.
