She Cried No

If anyone ever doubted the acting abilities of Candace Cameron and Mark Paul Gosselear then you should see this film and watch them give intense, riveting, and honest performances about a college freshman( candace) who gets raped by the stud on campus (mark-paul) Cameron is so believable as Melissa that you feel the pain right there with her, and Gosselear is probably one of the best Jerks on screen. He is fantastic and makes you hate him. Jenna Von Oy of Blossom is also wonderful as Melissa's roommate. A seriuous tv movie about rape handled very well and tastefully that will certainly make some people think.

It's 2025 and this is still how sexual abuse is viewed. They blame the victim. While on the other hand you have another girl who is sucking it up and moving on with her life. She doesn't realize her life is falling apart and she's completely lost herself. Society just sees her as someone who made a "choice" and is moving on with her life. The mental health deteriorates even when they suck it up and move on. The main character didn't get justice exactly as she planned and that's really how it is. It's always a he said she said which makes victims not want to open up. The movie isn't a top notch film, but the accuracy of SA and its effect on victims is real. By the end the main character finds her voice and it isn't ignored like it once was.

Recently discovered a ton of trashy made-for-TV movies on Prime, and I am in Heaven. This film stars a lot of "it" people from the 90s, which is a definite win.

It's completely unoriginal but you know what? We're still having conversations about consent today. We are still living a trope where no one believes the victim, where she (because the victim is usually a woman) is afraid to speak, and everyone sides with the perpetrator while the victim is the one on trial.

Still.

With regards to the film, the leads play their parts well, showing their acting range. Although we remember Candace Cameron Bure and Mark-Paul Gosselaar as fun, cute, sweet characters, they both come out of these roles to portray real people with very real issues which cannot be resolved neatly within half an hour. Credit where credit's due, they do an amazing job.

"She Cried No" AKA "Freshman Fall,is a pretty good TV movie,but it is pretty generic for the genre.it doesn't stand out or anything,but it is well made.the acting performances are pretty good and the characters are pretty believable.the one thing that does set this movie apart would be the ending,which is unexpected and unconventional for this type of movie,at least in my experience.it's nice to see a movie that doesn't cop out in the end.it's also nice to see a strong female character.the movie is certainly watchable and well paced,though there isn't really a lot of tension.still,it's a decent way to spend 90 minutes.i give "She Cried No"a 7/10

An oldie but a good movie. Quite brave putting 2 major likeable TV stars in the roles. Mark Paul Gosselaar and Candace Cameron Bure a time well. Very well. The reactions are realistic and clearly portrayed. Some good points are the rapist not even thinking he did anything wrong, the brother not siding her initially, the self blame and doubt of the victim because she was drunk and going willingly to his roommate . All the obstacles about going after the perp and different perceptions of the parties are so real.

Quite meaningful considering what happened in Stanford recently.
