Cyber Bully (2011 TV Movie)
6/10
Not Perfect, but Good Message

Warning: Spoilers
Reading some of these comments, some of the things that people don't understand about the film ARE explained in the movie, but vaguely. I had to watch the movie a few times before I fully understood why certain characters did what they did (ex: Samantha making the fake profile, why Lindsay hates Taylor). However, even though I admit the "I can't get the cap off" scene was a goof (I understand that it's ABC Family, but still if she would've actually swallowed pills it would've been much more powerful), as a victim of cyberbullying myself, I understand how quickly bullying online can spiral out of control and can completely destroy a person. I think the message was pretty good, and if the movie made a few improvements, it would've easily been a knockout.

Side Note: I LOVED Kelly Rowan and Emily Osment's performance, they certainly made the best of a mediocre script!
