ABC Family's "Cyberbu//y".

CyberBully Review.

Ok so out of straight boredom I decided to watch the movie "CyberBully" Starring EmilyOsment.

Plot:
A 17 year old girl named Taylor who is a socialite from the mountain high school in nowheresville. USA gets a computer for her 17th birthday.
She goes on the computer more than is healthy for a 17 year old and is obsessed with chat-rooms that mirror the Early
2000 AOL chat-rooms. She gets a Laptop of her own for her 17th birthday and then gets cyber-bullied to the point where
it drives her to a mental hospital.

Main details: The main character is in high school love with a basketball jock. The main character wants to be a
journalist so that's why she was given the laptop. There is a fake website known as "Clickster" that is very popular
in this movie. Facebook did get a mention though. First time the character gets hacked goes around crying. Brother
hacked profile and made status that ruined her life. Main characters internet crush said he got an STD from her and
is a fake. Friend was the person who did this all. Drama confrontation and many thoughts to be conveyed.

Pro's: Emily Osment as main character. Mom from O.C. as the mother. Girl from No Ordinary Family as the best friend.
Very positive messages. Teamwork is shown quite well to explore the possibilities of how far the characters can go
that it almost feels like some boundaries were pushed to make the emotion feel so real on screen that most fake
Hollywood acts can't even pull with their wages so high and all that.

Con's: It is displayed to be the United States when it is clearly filmed in Canada. I'm not sure which part of Canada
but it feels EXACTLY like the place where the Dead Like Me series and movie was filmed. Making up a fake website
and talking about it like its some kind of big thing on TV shows and Movies is getting old even with this movie.
Clickster? sounds like a virus that banzai buddy would give your computer as an STD.

Final Thought: This movie had a very positive message in it and as someone who is against all of the Anti-Online-Bully Acts
I even had my heart pace in a few scenes. In a way it felt more like a lifetime movie than a movie from ABC family who used to put out
classic comedy's like Men In White or such. Emily Osment is an amazing actress and even though her fame got brought up
a lot bigger from this movie than each season of Hannah Montana I still feel as if she could have done a better movie
than this. Anonymity will never go away and no movie or TV show or cspan special will ever change that. even though the
real life bullies father was a complete dick his statement weighed in a deep truth that some people need to understand.


Score: 2.5. out of 5.
