uberpandabear Everything about this movie is bad. I think that the acting was it's best quality and even that was some of the worst I've ever seen. Exaggerated and lacking in every way, the script dragged on using many scenes of only music to lazily show she was becoming more and more distraught. Throughout the entire film i was waiting for her to punch the leader of the bully girls in the face, which would actually solve the problem or at least make her feel empowered instead of pathetic.I made this IMDB account specifically to review this movie because I disliked it so much

Oliver Thatcher Watson This film isn't good in the slightest. It was a bad attempt to make an inspirational film, but only to fail miserably with an overly exaggerated plot and brainless story. I do appreciate the message this film is trying to convey, however I couldn't help but be distracted by the poor acting and dumb story. And I said, this film over exaggerates a lot of things. One example is when the mean kids bully Taylor over the internet, I just couldn't help but laugh at the fact the mean kids acted like over the top bullies you see in cartoons back in the day. Same thing with the fact that this film shows the same mean kids make a full out video trying to bully Taylor, which is hilarious considering that I don't think bullies would go through that much effort to hurt someone, unless they truly hated the person. And not only that, but the story itself, while it isn't that bad, is poorly set up and frankly, kind of stupid. I feel like when Samantha was acting as Chris on the internet to bully Taylor, this film should have gave a reason as to why she was doing it earlier than it did. And worst of all, at the end when Taylor and her friends stood up to the mean kids, it didn't seem like much was even solved at all. In fact, the film ends after the mean kids just walk away from the cafeteria. Which makes no sense whatsoever as to how that solved anything, considering that they can still cyber bully since they still have their computers. So this film literally ended on a low note. I mean, sure, it's nice that Taylor and her friends stood up to the mean kids, but considering how the mean kids are, it confuses me to no end. I can't really recommend this to anyone as this film is not only brainless, but due to it being over exaggerated, it's more pointless than not. While this film isn't exactly horrible, you'd be better off watching something else, as this will probably disappoint viewers with its overly cartoonish premise that can leave people feeling silly just from watching this film.

Grunge Fan I don't even know where to start with this film. I don't feel the need to describe the plot in detail because from the title, it's pretty self explanatory, it's about a teen girl who ends up getting made fun of online. The main character Taylor (Emily Osment), is one of the most unlikable protagonists I've ever seen in any movie, she's extremely annoying as well. We're supposed to feel sorry for her, but she's so unlikable to the point where we don't really care. The acting is horrendous and this film is a horrible, and very unrealistic depiction of bullying. If you want to save 2 hours, don't watch this movie, it's terrible. That's all I have to say about Cyberbully. Emily Osment should really consider taking acting lessons from her brother. 1/10.

nicoledesapio Though my own teen years were over with before the internet (and cell phones) became so widespread, I was deeply saddened by the Phoebe Prince "bully-cide" case of 2010; I then heard about CYBERBULLY (apparently inspired not by the Prince but by the equally tragic Megan Meier case) and decided to watch it. I found the film quite suspenseful, affecting and, above all, informative; it made me understand why the common advice to "cyberbullied" teens -- "Just turn off your computer!" -- is really not all that practical. CYBERBULLY is well written, filmed, and edited; the acting, though occasionally wooden, is a cut above what I would have expected from a "Lifetime" movie (and let's face it -- even such a classic "after-school special" as 1981's THE WAVE contains some wooden acting). The talented Emily Osment was both persuasive and likable as pretty-but-not-quite-popular Taylor Hillridge; she had me on her side. As for the much-mocked scene in which Taylor's not being able to open a bottle of pills foils her suicide attempt -- the scene actually is believable if you consider that the bottle cap may have stuck (which has happened to me more than once, and I'm in my thirties!); or that Taylor, evidently in a panicked state, was probably shaking hard; or that she might subconsciously have been TRYING to stall so that someone would save her in the nick of time. Regardless, CYBERBULLY is a well-done after-school special which taught me things I had not understood before about the online world of today's teenagers.
