Kids, before writing a screenplay, please do the research, lest your story becomes so implausible that it takes audiences out of it entirely. In 'Searching' an intriguing and ambitious premise is quickly ruined by sloppy writing - trying to create a whodunnit mystery that makes so little sense that it will actually make you laugh.

It seems the the writer has done absolutely no research into how missing person investigations are conducted. No spoilers here but if you are a true crime junkie, you will be shaking your head throughout the whole second half.

Some alright acting and some pretty crappy acting actually, an entire film seen through the cluttered space of a computer desktop (no cinematography awards here), and an ending that is shocking(ly stupid). Disappointing.
