Bullying Virtual

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
