I'm gonna make it short, because other Reviewers said pretty much everything what i wanted to mention. The only thing i couldn't read out, is a critic on the characters in the movie.
Simple... I didn't like it. Maybe instead of using a blond pretty girl as the main character, they should have placed a better example of a victim: Foreigner, black, handicapped, ugly, depressed, lower class, loner, thin, fat. They are usually the victims in real life and not blond and good looking with friends and cheer. Most of them don't have a connection to their parents and live in their own world, dealing with their own depressions and disappointments. Thus this makes the movie very unrealistic. For a normal teenager probably entertaining, for the bully more like a joke and for the victim not helpful. Especially them might get quiet insecure due the movie, because they usually have NO friends to talk about problems, they get NO support from school or parents or they lack selfconfidence. That makes them feel again disadvantaged to the girl in the movie.
As well i have a feeling the script took only an hour. A blond 17-years old girl, that is pretty, surrounded by friends and grew up in a stable relationship with her mother...is not capable to resolve a simple problem as this one. Yes, i consider it a simple problem, because there been mass of simple solutions to resolve it better way. You don't need much brain for it either.
The movie would have been more interesting, outstanding and REALISTIC without a happy end. Because most of times it doesn't end this way. This movie is just another high school drama.
