Danni’s rewards for lying seem insubstantial: digital hearts, retweets and, at their most tangible, a free tooth whitening kit. Trapped in a lie, Danni rebrands herself as a terrorism survivor. Surrounded by junk food wrappers in her sloppy Bushwick bedroom, she photoshops herself into a picture of the Arc de Triomphe - and uploads the photo five minutes before a deadly bomb explodes at the site.

To impress her office crush Colin (Dylan O’Brien), a callow pothead-turned-globe-trotting influencer with a grotty Pete Davidson-esque charisma, Danni concocts a phony invitation to a writers retreat in Paris. (Her parents, played by Brennan Brown and Embeth Davidtz, had shortsightedly taken the family on a cruise.) The upper-middle-class Manhattanite whines to her editor (Negin Farsad) that she even had the lousy luck to miss 9/11. Danni believes, somewhat accurately, that today’s readers are more interested in writers who expose their own traumas. When Steinem was at this age in her career, she hustled to write an exposé of the inner workings of the Playboy Club. The problem is, even if Danni could manage to get noticed at her hyper-cool and competitive magazine, she’s got nothing valuable to say. Aspiring journalist Danni Sanders ( Zoey Deutch), the insecure villain at the center of writer-director Quinn Shephard’s scattershot comedy “ Not Okay,” dresses the part of a contemporary Gloria Steinem, poaching the activist’s oversized glasses and face-framing blond streaks while adding her own modern accessories: rainbow-colored nails and jewelry, with a decked-out smartphone glued to her hand.
