As many fellow IMDb users have said, this film shows cyberbullying in a completely unrealistic and over-exaggerated way. The entire concept of the movie is laughable. The acting is dreadful. It fits into almost every modern cliché.

Only reason this monstrosity doesn't get a 1 is due to its reasonable moral that it attempts to teach, and it has apparently done its job to some extent.

Overall, there are much better films that successfully grasp the concept of online bullying. If your intent is to teach others or learn yourself about the consequences of cyberbullying through film, look elsewhere immediately. If you want a good movie to laugh at, this is a good choice.

This made for television American film is clearly a propaganda document, though it remains to be seen on whose behalf. Certainly the usual suspects - the pro-censorship lobby - will be pleased with it. So how does it stack up? Truly awful, like pass the sick bucket. Do blondes really get bullied in the real world, especially when they are as lovely as Emily Osment?

Leaving that aside, if you grew up in the 1960s you might have heard the rhyme: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me" - or something like that. Words can and do hurt of course. If someone close to you says something unkind, it may hurt a great deal, especially if it's true, but anonymous morons on-line? Be serious. Rather than taking an overdose, take some good advice: use a 20 digit password with a few symbols so your account doesn't get hacked, and don't feed the trolls. As for anti-cyberbullying legislation, let it go, dude; your ancestors died for the right of these clowns to offend you. One point for the soundtrack.

Cyberbully is a terrible movie. Plain and simple, it sucks. It's simplistic, unrealistic, immature, and just plain dumb. Why is it so bad? I'm gonna take a look into it and find out! Be warned, this review is gonna be harsh, very harsh. Now that you've been warned, let's begin!

Firstly, the premise. A teenage girl by the name of Taylor Hillridge gets a new laptop for her birthday and her brother "hacks" into it, creating a fake status update on this fictional social-networking site called Cliquesters where it portrays her as a slut and then she gets bullied for it in school and to top it off, some guy online named James lied to people that she gave him STDs. The premise itself doesn't sound THAT bad. I mean, it still sounds bad but not THAT bad but man, the execution made it ten times worse!

The characters in this movie are all morons and they never make any logical decisions whatsoever. Taylor is retarded, plain and simple. She has all these minor high-school problems going on around her and she makes them way more dramatic than they need to be. She starts crying like a baby when her brother "hacked" into her profile on Cliquesters and making a fake status update where she's a slut and she doesn't even think about deleting it! What kind of moron would do that? She also allows a friend request to some guy she doesn't know named James earlier in the film and guess what, the guy betrays her by lying to people that she gave him STDs. Is she seriously THAT hungry for boys that she's willing to do something like this?

Samantha is just plain weird. She's one of Taylor's two friends and for whatever strange reason, every time when Taylor talks about how much she likes Scott, this boy in her class, she starts flipping out and even kicks Taylor out of her car at one point. Now I may be wrong on this but I'm guessing that she may have slept with him or some other guy before and maybe he dumped her? But for whatever reason, she gets SO mad at Taylor for having the hots for Scott, she decides to create a fake profile on Cliquesters posing as some dude named James and then spreads a rumor about how she gave him STDs. Who the hell does this? I know teenagers can be really sensitive sometimes but seriously? You're gonna do that to your friend? Wow, I'll be feeling a lot of sympathy for you by the end of this movie.

Cheyenne is her other friend and she's just a terrible friend. She ditches Taylor when some kids at her school start calling her some mean words even though they were ALREADY mean towards her before Taylor even signed up for Cliquesters! Why is everybody in this movie so freaking stupid? And to top it all off, I don't like these characters. They are so air-headed and spoiled from the start of the film, it's hard to like them. They have more gadgets than Q, they talk about nothing other than stupid high- school gossip, and they are just plain annoying! It's probably realistic how these girls act but I don't care because I need to like them from the start to sympathize with them and if I don't, I wouldn't care about the dilemmas that they go through.

So the characters in this movie are horrible, but what else is wrong with this movie? The morals. This movie has horribly questionable morals and ethics. This movie tells you that you shouldn't call bullies names even when they're being jerks to you, why? So are you telling us that we should never defend ourselves when someone's bullying us? What kind of a lesson is that? That's probably the worst thing you could teach kids in high-school! And to top it off, they completely contradict this point in the last scene of the movie when the entire school gangs up on Lindsay the bully! This is just terrible writing.

But by far, the worst moral they teach you in this movie is that even if your friend betrays you and nearly makes you KILL yourself, you should still befriend them. WHAT?! How could you teach that to kids? Wouldn't you just get taken advantage of repeatedly if you did that in real life?

Outside of the terrible characterizations and dumb morals, what else is wrong with this movie? The bullies and the bullying. Since this movie is about bullying, you'd think they would at least get this right, right? WRONG! The bully in this movie is a freaking cartoon stereotype, plain and simple. Lindsay speaks with this slimy voice the entire time and it's so laughable because real bullies are not like this! If you're making a movie about a serious issue, you need to at least know about the issue but they don't and it shows because the bullies in this movie are a joke! The funniest part in this movie is when Lindsay posts a video online meant to bully Taylor by portraying her as a prostitute but this video is so inoffensive and stupid, it's laughable! And this is supposed to be the thing that drives Taylor over the edge and make her attempt suicide! Can you really take this movie seriously anymore?

So those are the problems that ruined this movie. Sure, there's plot holes and a few unintentionally funny scenes but the main problems are that they failed to make likable sympathetic characters, the morals are all questionable and screwed up, and the bullying is laughable to say the least.

I would only recommend you to see this piece of sh!t if you are in the mood for a few laughs but other than that, skip it. I'm gonna give it a 1/10.
