Pretty good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
This is really you're basic "coming of age", "high school clique war" movie. What makes it stand out is the cast. I just happen to recognize them from several different things, but they're clearly acting over their weight class in this movie.
Eden Sher ("The Middle") has the undaunted hyper-active peppy thing down to a science. It would be like watching happy puppy videos to just see her do her thing for hours on end.
Victoria Justice ("Victorious") has a big enough personality to match Eden's enthusiasm and enough control to make her character grow into it.
Ashley Rickards ("Awkward") oddly shows her talent by being a narrowly closeted character and the proverbial "straight man".
Peyton List ("Jessie / Bunk'd") has a subtle role, but I'm just happy to see her not playing an idiot.
Along with all the other supporting roles, the cast really knocks it out of the park with their delivery.
I would have liked it to be a little "more", the potential is there, I just don't know what could have made a high school story like this "great".
Solidly good watch though, if you're okay subjecting yourself to "high school drama", then you should enjoy this.

Plot summary
After falling victim to a humiliating prank by the high school queen bee, Jodi (Victoria Justice) and her best friend Mindy (Eden Sher) plot their revenge by uniting all of the school's outcasts to overthrow the cruel reign of the popular clique once and for all. But in a tale of "be careful what you wish for," a taste of power gets the best of all of them, nearly ruining Jodi and Mindy's friendship and threatening to sabotage Jodi's budding romance with Dave (Avan Jogia). A relatable journey about finding where you belong in a world where you're hastily defined by your peers, 'The Outcasts' turns the teenage experience upside-down with humor, wit, empathy, and a lot of fun.

"United, She Falls"
Mercury is going renegade
This film could be called "Mean Girls 3." It is basically the same type of film where high school outcasts get revenge on the evil cool clique. The two girls who lead the charge are Jodi (Victoria Justice) a Tina Fey clone and Mindy (Eden Sher) auditioning for "Big Bang Theory." The characters and plot were formula. The dialogue was cute enough to make up for the short comings of predictability. Worth a view if you like "Mean Girls" type of films. Not as good as "Mean Girls" but better than "Mean Girls 2." Guide: No swearing sex, or nudity.
Mean Girls as if we saw everything and a small twist...but basically the same!!
The Outcasts? The Outskirts? Mean Girls 3,however yeah say it is now the new enough teen movie starring Peyton List and Eden Sher,from one of my favorite shows The Middle. To be honest,the only reason I watched this was because I was strolling on Netflix and when I heard,talented actress Eden Sher was in it like a few years back so now,I finally got to see it. The Out____ is nothing we obviously have not seen before,its basically just the reboot of Mean Girls. I'm not going to say that The Out____ is a horrible copy of Mean Girls,I was just disappointed with what I saw due to me having waiting years to see it with absolutely no release date what so ever other than '2015,2016,2012,2013' and then just '????'. Eden Sher was very good in the film but I thought played the exact same character from The Middle except not as nice and fragile,Mindy,the character she played,was though a bit more tuff to be honest. The Out(whatever!) though is OK,nothing I'd really see again
