Cyberbully

It seems that ABC Family has debuted a new film about cyberbullying in social networks. Unfortunately, though, it seems it was conceived by someone who knows absolutely nothing about cyberbullying in social networks. Even though some valuable points are made, "Cyberbully" is strictly for entertainment. The movie might actually be brilliant as a black comedy - note the moment Taylor Hillridge tells her best friend that she "can't get the cap off," which is almost undoubtedly bound to be remembered as a staple in television comedy. In fact, at points, the film is so ridiculous that it nearly seemed to have been made as a black comedy.

"Cyberbully" also has amateurish cinematography (half of its shots appearing to have been taken from some serialized drama) and a plain script with wooden dialogue, even though the acting performance of Emily Osment is worthy of praise. The portrayal of cyber-bullying is highly unrealistic; the main character signs up for a website that apparently doesn't allow you to even delete posted comments. When she should just delete her account, "it's too late" is used as an excuse. When she should just block the profile of anybody she doesn't like, the website seems not to have a blocking option. This is completely inaccurate, as most social networking websites will let you delete comments, block profiles of people, and report spam comments.

"Cyberbully" has convincing acting and entertainment, as well as good messages, but is unrealistic and sometimes even unintentionally humorous at times; both far overshadow any redeeming qualities you will be able to find.

Great Movie! I think that everyone in this movie had gone above and beyond and did their job. I think that Emily can work both roles in her career. The comic role and the serious role. It would say hats off to all actor's/actress's in this movie! Everyone was AWESOME! I stay home all week with 2 small children and I am 39 years old. I was so looking forward to this movie all week just to have 2 hours to myself. Thanks to all the cast for making it a good movie for me, as I don't get much time to myself. I think that is a huge issue in schools and everyone has done a outstanding job trying to get the message across. Hopefully, some of these teens will take all of this inn and try to do the right thing from now on. I was a kid once and did some mean things and to this day I am still not happy about it. It is like one of those things, If I could turn back time. I regret those days. I think that Kelly Rowan did a excellent job as Mom in the movie, I have alway's been a fan of her as well. I hope that all of the young one's will go far in their career, they deserve it.

Honestly - I didn't go into this with very high expectations. I went into Cyberbully thinking to myself "Oh look - an ABC family movie about the internet. No doubt its going to be badly acted, badly written, hilariously misinformed with planned adverts every four or five minutes to hammer home the point of internet security and bullying, and, no doubt, it being an ABC family drama, after all, it will have no relevance to real life, it will shoehorn in seemingly random issues such as sexuality, and, perhaps most importantly for the demographic, it will, at no point, have any black people. At all. Ever." But what I saw truly changed me. I never realised how hard upper-middle-class white girls had it before this movie, and that plight, that emotional typhoon of internet-related insecurities just hit me where it hurts. It also reminded me of the importance of safety caps on pill bottles, because its not just children who are fooled by them - but adults and teenagers too. And it introduced me to what is, perhaps, the greatest televised event ever conceived, although conceived is perhaps the wrong word....realised. The greatest television event ever realised - the Gay Boy Show. Anyway - in conclusion, this movie has got to be one of the most incredibly watchable movies released this year, and it will warm you from your balls to your solar plexus with its message and its subtle delivery of said message. Watch this film.

CYBERBU//Y - CATCH IT ( B+ ) Cyberbu//y has to be the best and not stereotypical movie on ABC Family. Its an really honest effort towards the Cyber bullying, which has recently taken world by storm. The recent teen suicides has shocked USA and many campaigns and stars have spoken again it.

Emily Osment has come a long way from Hanna Montana's sidekick to this, she gave truly amazing Performance in the movie. She showed that if role is given she can give some really serious performance. Kay Panabaker delivers a honest performance as frenemy. Jon McLaren is really cute and smart doesn't look like 27years old at all. Good gene.

Overall, Cyberbu//y is a really good heart hitting movie, better than all over tween movies on ABC Family. Even though I feel the last 20mints and ending was little sugar coated!

The guy from YourMovieSucksDotOrg said it best "this movie gets a dumb out of ten". Out of all the terrible TV movies out there, this is the funniest. Also, anyone who calls Cyberbully's haters "dumb morons who support bullying" are the real idiots in this situation. Anyway, the acting is terrible, the drama is impossible to take seriously, and the script is absolutely atrocious. The writers clearly ignored the first rule of screen writing: show, don't tell. The main character is so stupid that whenever she's sad, I laugh. There are moments in this movie so hilariously awful, that I won't dare ruin them here. I only recommend this "film" to anyone who likes melodramatic schlock.
