kitsuneyoukaichan Personally, I think that this movie is great. Some people might find it a little boring, but that's because it's about a school paper. I know that a lot of people think like this: "School paper? Booooring. Why do we need one, anyway?" But take it from a girl who took Journalism. It's hard to keep a high school newspaper up and running, especially with budget cuts. This movie sheds light on how effective a school paper can actually be, and therefore, it has earned my respect. There are actual "A-listers" in real life, but not nearly as bad as these ones...however, there are a few. I like this movie mainly because it has an important figure in the form of a newspaper/tabloid. And the fact that it shows just how manipulative people will be to gain popularity.

jr1_101189 I do not know why so many people had so much hate towards this movie.It's mostly a story of how this new girl (Romano) moves into an upper-class suburb and meets a new friend who is also a little on the unpopular side.They become friends and team up to expose the "A-listers" by starting a tabloid.Yeah, yeah, we've heard it before but I love those kind of TV movies. I recorded it and can't wait to watch it again - and I'm a GUY! I admit that it was a little risqué (for an ABC affiliate) with the gay group of teen guys and their roles that included them checking out other guys' bodies while playing tennis. (Why does Queer Eye come to mind?) Also, the words "ass" and "hell" were used by Romano several times which surprised me because this is ABC FAMILY. Oh well.Bottom line - it's a great predictable movie with a great plot that I recommend watching with your friends with a bowl of popcorn and a bottle of Coke (just warn the little ones). Christy Carlson Romano did a great job and she deserves credit where credit is due.

Joel Speaking from a tweener's own experience, I found this movie to be an absolute waste of my time.I spare no expense in saying that there was nothing redeeming about this movie... not to mention, an overabundance of poor, no... abominable acting "talent." Everyone says that this has gay references and stereotypes all around... they're not kidding.The point I'm trying to get across is simply this: I'm thankful that no one had to endure this treatment in high school... especially when it's portrayed so poorly! Regretfully, I can't give this a zero with the stars, but I can in numbers! 0/10

awj11 Within the first ten minutes of this movie I was bored, insulted, and disgusted by the crude (even for a made-for-t.v. picture) cinematography, over-used stereotypes, and inconsistent characters. Then something incredible happened...the movie stayed the same through all the stupid jokes, bad puns, predictable plot-twists, and cheesy ending. The use of George Orwell's "Animal Farm" was obvious, and about as subtle as...I can't think of anything as obvious as this. The few good jokes in the movie only alienated the audience further, and the only remotely good thing about this picture was (some of) the acting...not of course, good enough to save it from a 1/10 rating. If the movie is ever played again on television, read a book. Might I suggest "Animal Farm?"
