Cyberbully

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.

While I would agree with some other people's comments that the girl being bullied would likely be popular in real life, the movie as a whole makes a very important point, cyberbullying is a legitimate problem. Technology has made it easier to bully and no matter how hard we try to protect our kids there is no escape from it as the movie points out. It also makes the strong point that many people don't realize there is no such thing as absolute free speech (and there shouldn't be). Words that involve defamation and libel invade one's rights to privacy and this movie points this out effectively. If nothing else it challenges parents to do more and realize kids (and even some adults) are struggling with many emotional issues due to this cowardly form of bullying. It also though not naming any sites should remind us that many kids are attracted to sites like Facebook and those types of sites should do more to stop cyberbullying. It should also remind us there are other sites such as Topix that do not absolutely nothing to curb the problem of cyberbullying and that is a real problem.

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.

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!

I get it, people want to take on a popular topic so they can make tons of money. The problem is, this film is so poorly executed that I couldn't take this film seriously in the slightest.

So this film's about some teenager who has no problem mocking people, but if somebody mocks her, she starts crying. Get used to it, because you will be putting up with her for the duration of this abomination. There is even a scene where she talks to someone who has been mocked for being gay. She blows hims off, due to him actually being gay. Are we seriously supposed to have sympathy for this character?

I could mock this film for all of the laughably bad scenes, but I would be beating a dead horse by doing so. I'm certainly not the only one who sees how terrible this film is. The idea that anybody has taken this film seriously seems like a sick joke.

Cyberbully is not worth your time, unless you want a few cheap laughs.
