“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Not Cool (2014)
aka Shane Dawson Movie
Well, at least this film fails in a somewhat original way. A YouTube celebrity (who I have the barest recollection of) was one of two people to make a film from the same script; it's about relationships at the turn from high school to college. This one decided to add: anonymous oral sex in a restroom, vomiting in someone's face, drinking urine and eating feces (two different scenes) and whatever other gross-outs they could muster among extreme over-the-top overacting. None of the humor works, perhaps because the medium is too different in format from YouTube, perhaps because it simply sucks. Which it does.
