Campus Confidential (2005)

I always like movies that are about high schools so i decided to watch this one. There are several things that I do not like about this movie. To begin with, most of the actors are terrible. I did not expect a brilliant acting but it could be a whole lot better than some of the people that are in it right now. The second thing that i don't like is how cornelia always looks the other way when the camera zooms in on her and she is thinking about something. It looks like they told her don't look in the camera every single time. I think with a better cast and some adjustments on the script this movie will be a whole lot better.

I just have to say that this movie was horrible. Although there was 1 good quote from the movie, I greatly disliked it. None of this would really happen, and gay guys aren't all fashion freaks. They are people,and most of them can be "normal". Christy Carlson Romano stinks, and the only reason I watched it was for Thomas Dekker. He was bad in this movie, but don't consider this all his acting style. Don't listen to the other person, "Mean Girls" was pretty awful too. There are a few problems with movies like these. 1. We have classes! We don't have all that spare time to talk and do NOTHING. 2. How many of YOU have plastic surgeons for dads who will just go and buy you a printing press? NO WAY! They would take you to Cabo or something. 3. Do we all really look like that? No.

I do not know why so many people had so much hate towards this movie.It's mostly a story of how this new girl (Romano) moves into an upper-class suburb and meets a new friend who is also a little on the unpopular side.They become friends and team up to expose the "A-listers" by starting a tabloid.Yeah, yeah, we've heard it before but I love those kind of TV movies. I recorded it and can't wait to watch it again - and I'm a GUY! I admit that it was a little risqué (for an ABC affiliate) with the gay group of teen guys and their roles that included them checking out other guys' bodies while playing tennis. (Why does Queer Eye come to mind?) Also, the words "ass" and "hell" were used by Romano several times which surprised me because this is ABC FAMILY. Oh well.Bottom line - it's a great predictable movie with a great plot that I recommend watching with your friends with a bowl of popcorn and a bottle of Coke (just warn the little ones). Christy Carlson Romano did a great job and she deserves credit where credit is due.

I saw the premiere, and it was respectable, but a little disappointing. I've seen this sort of story many, many times before. It really reminds me of Mean Girls. Where the good girl tries to bring down the popular crowd, and turns into the popular crowd herself. Then, there's always the best friend who brings the girl back to the real world. It's a little different from Mean Girls, with the whole using the truth through a newspaper, instead of telling lies, but it's generally the same thing. You'd think ABC Family would be able to come up with something more original, but you can't really blame them, trying to make a hit off of another movie. In fact, I've seen it done before, and liked the knock-off better. In all, I'll give Campus Confidential a rating of somewhere between 7 and 8.
