30-somethings playing high school students doesn't really work for me. Neither does a bad script and horrendous acting.

"InstaFame" is a saga of dueling divas on social media. The situation gets out of hand when the stakes are raised in besmirching the character of Sasha Curtis. The instigator is a clearly intelligent but misguided and deranged young woman named Kelly Ryan.

The drama unfolds primarily through the perspective of young Maddie Reynolds, who lives with her mother Gwen, a widow who rebuilt her life as a successful realtor after the death of her husband. Maddie has great potential as a student, but she is also remarkably immature.

The gullible Maddie is co-opted by her friend Kelly to do battle on social media with Sasha. After Gwen Reynolds tells the girls about a tragic mishap where a high school student died during a stunt atop the Red River Cliff, it is Kelly who takes Maddie and Ava on a daredevil walk high above the river. Ava plunges to her death, and it later revealed that Kelly let her drop intentionally, then sought to pin the blame on Sasha.

The best scene in the film is when Gwen Reynolds comforts the sociopath Kelly, informing her that people really do love her. It was a moving scene in what was otherwise a most dismal film about a group of brats with no boundaries who found themselves led like sheep by the girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

At least the storyline is right for what I expect. A psycho teen which her background logicalize her behavior. A tragedy happened in order to protect herself makes a plan from her. Story itself content is rich enough to me. Don't know why so negative reviews here.
