Good movie but grossly overrated

Excellent adaptation.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Overall, the plot of this movie is incoherent, mainly because everything changes after the main character attempts suicide. Before the suicide attempt, the mother is absent, weak, distant, her daughter is naive, most characters are shallow and we have no idea of what they think, or what their motivations are. This part is really boring. After the suicide attempt, the mother becomes some sort of political super-hero and vigilante for good against evil, the daughter magically becomes strong and discovers how things work, the motivation behind the behavior of most characters becomes crystal clear, and finally all problems are solved in a totally unrealistic way (the scene of the improvised coalition of victims of bullies). I fully understand that the intentions of the producers of this TV movie were good. They really wanted to tell a caution tale to both kids and parents against the perils of cyber-bullying. But they forgot that spectators do not accept inconstancies in a script. This movie is unrealistic, but it looks like it was on purpose, because the goal is to provide some optimism about a difficult subject and some practical tips for victims, families, and witnesses of (cyber-)bullying.

This movie is so bad it isn't even 'so bad its good.' The acting is horrendous. The shots aren't creative, in fact nothing about it is. The script was very clearly written by a bunch of 45 year olds who have forgotten how teenagers act.dumb/10 in the wise words and ratings of yourmoviesucks.org

Everything about this movie is bad. I think that the acting was it's best quality and even that was some of the worst I've ever seen. Exaggerated and lacking in every way, the script dragged on using many scenes of only music to lazily show she was becoming more and more distraught. Throughout the entire film i was waiting for her to punch the leader of the bully girls in the face, which would actually solve the problem or at least make her feel empowered instead of pathetic.I made this IMDB account specifically to review this movie because I disliked it so much

This made for television American film is clearly a propaganda document, though it remains to be seen on whose behalf. Certainly the usual suspects - the pro-censorship lobby - will be pleased with it. So how does it stack up? Truly awful, like pass the sick bucket. Do blondes really get bullied in the real world, especially when they are as lovely as Emily Osment? Leaving that aside, if you grew up in the 1960s you might have heard the rhyme: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me" - or something like that. Words can and do hurt of course. If someone close to you says something unkind, it may hurt a great deal, especially if it's true, but anonymous morons on-line? Be serious. Rather than taking an overdose, take some good advice: use a 20 digit password with a few symbols so your account doesn't get hacked, and don't feed the trolls. As for anti-cyberbullying legislation, let it go, dude; your ancestors died for the right of these clowns to offend you. One point for the soundtrack.
