Campus Confidential

Within the first ten minutes of this movie I was bored, insulted, and disgusted by the crude (even for a made-for-t.v. picture) cinematography, over-used stereotypes, and inconsistent characters. Then something incredible happened...the movie stayed the same through all the stupid jokes, bad puns, predictable plot-twists, and cheesy ending. The use of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" was obvious, and about as subtle as...I can't think of anything as obvious as this. The few good jokes in the movie only alienated the audience further, and the only remotely good thing about this picture was (some of) the acting...not of course, good enough to save it from a 1/10 rating. If the movie is ever played again on television, read a book. Might I suggest "Animal Farm?"

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.

Personally, I think that this movie is great. Some people might find it a little boring, but that's because it's about a school paper. I know that a lot of people think like this: "School paper? Booooring. Why do we need one, anyway?" But take it from a girl who took Journalism. It's hard to keep a high school newspaper up and running, especially with budget cuts. This movie sheds light on how effective a school paper can actually be, and therefore, it has earned my respect. There are actual "A-listers" in real life, but not nearly as bad as these ones...however, there are a few. I like this movie mainly because it has an important figure in the form of a newspaper/tabloid. And the fact that it shows just how manipulative people will be to gain popularity.

Violet (Christy Carlson Romano) is the new girl in Westland Hills High School. She's frustrated with the elitism in the school with mean girls, mean gays, and entitled jocks. She befriends Cornelia (Keri Lynn Pratt) who has worked all her life publishing the school newspaper. Everyone ignores it and the principal cancels it. The girls decide to publish a tabloid to take the powerful down.

It's Mean Girls but bad. This is ABC Family. It's also drawing a parallel with Animal Farm. It does it with less conviction and less appeal. Neither lead girls are that likeable. That school is ridiculous and almost everybody is in their twenties. The click system has been done many times but this one is more silly. It's not simply that this is a copy. It is a weak copy with limited appeal.

this movie was bad, cheesy and not even fit for a TV movie. it's like a long, long soap opera. the acting was very amateur, and it's very predictable. i had more expectation on this film but it turned out to be crap. if you want the same story line and some thing that you can actually enjoy and learn from? Read AMINAL FARM. broaden your mind with that book instead of this...shall i say again? CRAP!

the movie overall was outrages hideously done. i really had expected more from these actors. but it just turned out to be a kid TV show. if you want to watch this film anyway...be warned...

made for kids 10 and UNDER!

it's sad that the entertainment industry has resorted to this kind of rubbish.
