Stand Against Fear

I watched this movie last July, and it was thrilling. Krysta (Sara Chalke), a cheerleader refuses to take sexual harassment from football players. Throughout this movie, she makes relentless efforts to persuade her team, to stand up to these players. The rest you will have to be watch to find out what happens.

I don't remember the last time I have been sitting glued to my seat through the length of a movie on TV. I switch channels often, but this movie made me stay with the channel till it was over. It was a wonderful movie. The depiction of the struggle of Krista was so realistic. And this movie was more exciting than the slasher movies which usually center around school/ college students. Hope that people come up with more such movies.

This movie was more classic Peer Abuse that kids live on a daily basis. The girl Krista stood up to the bullies who were members of the football team. However, cases like this are rare as over 98% of these incidents go unreported. Title IX is good, however, there needs to be firm laws enforced here as well (like in other forms of abuse). The movie was good and a good example of more Peer Abuse occuring before our eyes. Kudos to all involved!

Well acted and directed with an easily followed story and believable characters. The motivations of some of the characters are not explored, giving a somewhat cardboard feel to them (primarily the football coach and the principal) but the performances by Reed and Clarke make up for this. Dialogue may seem contrived at times, though one has to remember that the film is about teenagers. Overall the story is a little predictable and perhaps even routine, but I would still rate it above average for being interesting and having engaging and sympathetic characters (on one side of the argument at any rate). Will appeal to those with simple tastes; those wanting a courtroom thriller with lots of twists and turns should go elsewhere.

I think that this is a really really good, cool, and sad movie, I love it!!!! The first time I saw it, I cried on all of the crying parts, it was so sad!!!! And Josh Kelly is really cute too, and I like the parts where he attacks the girls, it just is interesting, I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!! And I taped it onto a tape from the TV, and now I have the movie, and I watch it like every day. I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE, IT IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!!!!! I DON'T THINK ANYONE OUT THERE LOVES THIS MOVIE AS MUCH AS I LOVE IT, IT IS REALLY SAD, AND REALLY COOL, AND IT IS THE BOMB!!!! I HOPE SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE LOVES THIS MOVIE AS MUCH AS I DO, I LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
