Synopsis

The film follows Joey, as he travels to meet his long-distance girlfriend of two years, Jennifer. He believes that she is cheating on him and decides to film his trip down to her home in an attempt to elicit guilt from Jennifer over her presumed unfaithfulness. Joey manages to persuade his cousin Steven and their friend Martin to join him on the trip, which turns into a car trip after Joey has a mental breakdown on a plane and puts them on the No Fly List. As the trio travels closer to their destination, Steven begins to grow leery of Joey's increasingly fragile mental state. This is further compounded by Joey's mother also showing concern over Joey during their Skype sessions, especially as he had never mentioned Jennifer to her before.

Cast

Critical reception has been mixed. Much of the criticism was due to the length of To Jennifer, as many of the critics felt that the film would have had more impact as a shorter film. Praise for the film commonly centered upon Bressack filming To Jennifer entirely on an iPhone, and a reviewer for Bloody Disgusting remarked that this gave the movie an "authentic video diary feel". DVD Verdict gave a mixed review, stating that "To Jennifer doesn't break any new ground as a horror story, but it works pretty well on its extremely small scale."
