In some ways terrifyingly close to the reality, in others a fantasy that belittles the true consiquences of bullying. I disliked how fake some of the relationships were, though there were others that could have made it work if not pulled down by the later. You get a small taste of what it feels like but until your the one in the fire or the friend who stands by them you cannot fully understand the pain and helplessness of both positions especially if no one will help legally or emotionally.

SO FRIGGIN' FUNNY. This movie, while it has the right idea with trying to get the message out, manages to be more offensive to bully victims than anything else. Emily Osment and the mum from The OC make a go of it but nothing they do can stop this from being absolutely hilarious, with too many amazing things to mention here. It's not QUITE up there with Bratz and The Room due to peaking too early and getting dull towards the end, but it's very close.

It's heart is in the right place and I have a modicum of respect for the filmmakers for that but whatever message they were trying to convey is completely lost by just how hilarious it is. So many quotes and hilarious moments. One of my favourites was the flipped shot in the hallway, clearly Biname was channeling Noe, right? I was hoping Osment was going to go to a gay club and smash a guys face with a fire extinguisher. Probably wouldn't be able to get the cap off though.

The only thing this has going for it is that it has unintentional laughs. It does not show both sides of the story with Emily Osment and the "bullies", and the ridiculous lengths they go to "raise awareness" is laughable. This is not how real people respond. Horrible even for TV.

Cyber bullying is soo stupid.

The movie has a very strong message, which ends up being a little in your face, but the message is an important one. Despite the movie obviously wanting to teach about cyberbullying, it ended up being a very enjoyable watch. It was also nice to see Emily Osment and Kay Panabaker shedding their Disney skin. Emily was phenomenal. If your going to watch this movie, be prepared to cry, I know I did.

Reality is often comic. What films often seem to forget is that they are never reality, never even close. As Barthes expressed, saying "fuck" in your film doesn't make it any more real, just an alternate facsimile. So then, with verisimilitude in hand, what makes you think the appropriate choice of dialogue to breach the apex of emotion in the film during a girl's suicide attempt is her fumbling to remove a child safety cap while screaming "I CAN'T GET THE CAP OFF?" Tell me that Cyberbully.

One of THE most idiotically written movies I've seen in ages. This is a movie that assumes that not only are high school kids remorseless assholes and morons who will believe anything they see on the internet and go to ridiculous lengths just to bully, but they also assume that Law Enforcement are a bunch of incompetent morons who can't even go look up the IP of someone using a fake account to slander someone. Not to mention the anti-social networking message is insanely idiotic to begin with.

I CAN'T GET THE CAP OFF!
