Campus Confidential

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"
