En détresse

Odd Girl Out is probably one to of the most realistic movies made-for-teens\pre-teens out there. I have seen She's Too Young, Mean Girls, etc, but this is the best. It is about a girl Vanessa who is one of the top popular girls in her school. Her life is great- she's got straight A's,she's on the school soccer team, and her best friend Stacy by her side. Everything is great- except for her friend Nikki. Slowly, but surely Nikki begins to build a web of lies, taunts, and rumors about Nikki. She tells Stacy that Vanessa is trying to steal her "boyfriend", and Vanessa goes from the popular table to the loser table. Nikki, Stacy, Emily, the Nikki replaced clone, and other girls begin to tear apart Vanessa's life-taunting her, calling her fat, and playing mind games on her. Soon Vanessa becomes depressed and goes desperate to claim her throne in the popular crowd once again.

This movie was so good! Except for the dim lighting and the that rap they had in there it was great. Leah Pipes and Alicia Morton played such good roles I"ll never be able to watch Disney movies the same way again. Alexa Vega was great and played a believable thirteen year old, unlike Leah Pipes who was a little too old for the movie.

Overall, it's a great movie! I think anyone between the ages 12-15 should watch it!

I usually have much fun in deriding all of the bad Lifetime movies that my wife watches all the time. I caught this one about 15 minutes in, and kept watching too. It was pretty good. The acting is decent, and the director and writer do a good job of spacing out and escalating the bullying that the girl endures. I thought it was also good how the main character, as she keeps getting bullied, continues to try to find a way back into her crowd. Because, it's realistic. People put up with all kinds of crap to get accepted into a clique. And, the mom's performance was solid too, realizing too late but trying everything she could be figure out why her daughter was getting more and more upset. Good flick. I'd watch it again.

I watched this movie the first night it was shown on lifetime....and I cried....I am Vanessa....I am an odd girl out....I have been made fun of...humiliated....teased.....and every single thing that Vanessa went through/ did I have went through and I have done....I think everything in this movie was done perfectly. It shows girls that high school is hell and you have to know how to deal with it. Girls are mean and they will be mean no matter what...I am a senior in high school with less than 3 months left and people still start with me for no reason and try to bring me down. I was amazed at this movie and I think every teenage girl should watch this. Especially those that bully/tease....they need to realize that they are NOT perfect what so ever...and that all of the teasing they do can have horrible effects. It wont stop any of them...but maybe they would be a little less harsh or at least have some sympathy.

If you like would like to see a version of "Mean Girls" without the Comedy and with lots of drama this is your movie. I don't think I have seen a better movie that showed the real side of high school pressure. The movie actually shows what can really happen and how best friends aren't always forever, especially in a "popular crowd" because really its out to get to you. The movies by far one of my favorite movies and made me think if that would ever happened to me , what would I do? I liked how the movie made Vanessa get sucked back into the friendship with Stacey but in the end have the pressure let lose and bring it all on Stacey and show how ugly she was inside and how fake she was. This is a great movie to show to people about what peer pressuring could do to you and how effects your lifestyle. But I warn you when you watch the movie ... have a box of Kleenex because I surely needed it .

I watched the movie on Monday and I believed it touched many lives, even young men. Vanessa character I thought showed her growing towards the end. She gained confidence of not having or needing to appease Stacy and the others. I enjoyed the scene where Vanessa's mother, gave her an example of an incident in her life. This helped Vanessa to come down off the defensive and communicate with her mother. Therefore, it showed strength in her character with the help of a new friend. I don't believe the lighting was bad at all in the classroom scenes. In watching on my television the lighting was adequate.

I did notice a scene that the actress was in a different position than the actual shot. When editing how many times are scenes looked over? This is for my knowledge. Thanks.
