I don't get who the target audience is for this movie?

It feels like it was made for 14 year old girls, but I don't think 14 year old girls would love the movie. It just feels like a movie with no sense of what it wants to be. I don't think it has a target audience. I don't think it has a specific genre. The story is pretty by the numbers and doesn't do anything interesting or original. You see what's coming a mile away, which is fine if the comedy and or action was up to par, but they aren't. The movie felt way too underbudget. It looked cheap, which isn't what you want in a movie like this. It almost felt like a TV movie at times.

It sad cause I am a fan of Fanboys, but the director really dropped the ball with this one. It's an idea that you could've done so much with, but in the end it's just an average movie.

I watched it because it was listed as a spy comedy with Samuel L Jackson, only after about 45-60 mins it turned into a typical girls teen movie. I don't think it even knew itself what audience it was targeting.

It was pretty crap but i can't complain because it has a hot cast. What was up with the filter? Made it look like it was from the eighties. Jessica alba, jamie king, hailee steinfeld, dove cameron and sophie turner.
