Review of Cyberbully (2011) by Mariah R — 02 Feb 2014

I've given it a higher score because I think Emily Osment has a very credible acting ability and this uses that. However, as hard hitting as it could possibly be, it is made for ABC Family, therefore the bullying and finality is slightly tame.

I've seen things on the internet which make my skin crawl (and that's a hard task) but the things these teens call each other isn't really a slap to the face. That's not to say that a young lady experiencing social networks for the first time wouldn't find it horrible, I've not been in that position.

However, I am (and always have) been very carefree with what people say online to me. I understand that not everyone can have that capability so for them it does show a positive movement to stay strong in the face of adversity.

It's a great film with a solid message, but would've been great to do a late night, more realistic version.
