Le mur de l'humiliation

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.

As many fellow IMDb users have said, this film shows cyberbullying in a completely unrealistic and over-exaggerated way. The entire concept of the movie is laughable. The acting is dreadful. It fits into almost every modern cliché.

Only reason this monstrosity doesn't get a 1 is due to its reasonable moral that it attempts to teach, and it has apparently done its job to some extent.

Overall, there are much better films that successfully grasp the concept of online bullying. If your intent is to teach others or learn yourself about the consequences of cyberbullying through film, look elsewhere immediately. If you want a good movie to laugh at, this is a good choice.

Yes, cyberbullying is rampant, and yes its continuing to get worse. I don't think anyone disputes that. And yes, one way to draw attention to something like this is by making a movie about it.

Cyberbully plays like an After School Special from the early 90's. The characters are painfully flat and unconvincing, the plot is bland and predictable, and even the drama points made for more effective black comedy than actual drama.

Overall, Cyberbully has an over-dramatic, hysterical tone which almost seems like it could have been made by teenage girls. Maybe that was the intent?

While I appreciate the attempt at making a movie dealing with an increasingly hurtful phenomenon, this movie actually ends up trivializing the very issues it was trying to draw attention to.

A for effort, D- for execution.

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.

This movie is inspiring. it tells the truth on what can happen if you cyberbully. it affected me badly i tried suicide. i was hurt so bad. when watching this it was like watching me and i think that if you watch this movie it will change many people's life. When i watched the trailer i was really interested in watching the movie and now i have seen the movie i know what to do to make me strong and don't let bullies take over my life. i give it 10 out of 10. its a movie what you should watch and bring your tissues. i hope not only people who has been cyberbullied but also anyone who has been a cyberbully they will learn what the affects of bullying can cause even online. Excellent movie!
