Serious and slightly exaggerated to make a point, this movie shows a girl and her mother moving to a new town to avoid cyber bullying from a couple of mean girls who create some fake social media in her name showing her saying mean things. Things follow her to the new town. Eventually some good kids in school side her and she overcomes.It's a timely issue as it does happen with increasing frequency.The actresses Natasha Henstridge as mom and Danielle Chuchran as her bullied daughter are watchable and fairly sympathetic.
I am glad that I ignored the bad reviews and watched this movie. It was well worth it. It had a great message about courage, friendship, loyalty, truth, and is timely for the current issue of cyber bullying. If you are looking for a well acted, funny, poignant movie with a happy ending, then this is it. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a chance.
This was such a good movie! Can't understand the other reviews. Good for all kids who use cell phones. Telling untruths can DESTROY someone's life, and even make them consider something horrible to stop the pain. Dove family films gave it five stars. Acting is really good, and believable. I checked this out through interlibrary loan, and am considering purchasing it. This is a feel good afterward movie! Please make your own decision about this film, and don't listen to the negative reviews.
I always liked collegemovies. There is something about that contained world, telling a story within that "set" that is enjoyable, watchable, communicatable.This one is a bit unexpected as far as collegemovies go. The stereotypes break their own molds a little bit, which is unusual. But they do not break them so much that they lose the value of being stereotypes. It is a gentle play with stereotypes, letting them be stereotypes but sort of bringing forth the humanity from the stereotypes. The message of the movie is also very sweet and humane and especially important for us that live in this day and age of political correctness.I really did enjoy this movie.
