If social satire that elicits scornful laughter is your kind of humor, "King Kelly" will have you doubled over with guilty guffaws.

King Kelly is a broad indictment of the emptier side of self-documentation and a more nuanced one of the Internet as a source of affirmation.

Audience Reviews for King Kelly

It's over the top, exaggerated, dramatic, and ridiculous. But at the same time, it's so accurate; a near-perfect satire of the life of a teenage girl.
