Internet-Mobbing

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.

While I would agree with some other people's comments that the girl being bullied would likely be popular in real life, the movie as a whole makes a very important point, cyberbullying is a legitimate problem. Technology has made it easier to bully and no matter how hard we try to protect our kids there is no escape from it as the movie points out. It also makes the strong point that many people don't realize there is no such thing as absolute free speech (and there shouldn't be). Words that involve defamation and libel invade one's rights to privacy and this movie points this out effectively. If nothing else it challenges parents to do more and realize kids (and even some adults) are struggling with many emotional issues due to this cowardly form of bullying. It also though not naming any sites should remind us that many kids are attracted to sites like Facebook and those types of sites should do more to stop cyberbullying. It should also remind us there are other sites such as Topix that do not absolutely nothing to curb the problem of cyberbullying and that is a real problem.

Honestly - I didn't go into this with very high expectations. I went into Cyberbully thinking to myself "Oh look - an ABC family movie about the internet. No doubt its going to be badly acted, badly written, hilariously misinformed with planned adverts every four or five minutes to hammer home the point of internet security and bullying, and, no doubt, it being an ABC family drama, after all, it will have no relevance to real life, it will shoehorn in seemingly random issues such as sexuality, and, perhaps most importantly for the demographic, it will, at no point, have any black people. At all. Ever." But what I saw truly changed me. I never realised how hard upper-middle-class white girls had it before this movie, and that plight, that emotional typhoon of internet-related insecurities just hit me where it hurts. It also reminded me of the importance of safety caps on pill bottles, because its not just children who are fooled by them - but adults and teenagers too. And it introduced me to what is, perhaps, the greatest televised event ever conceived, although conceived is perhaps the wrong word....realised. The greatest television event ever realised - the Gay Boy Show. Anyway - in conclusion, this movie has got to be one of the most incredibly watchable movies released this year, and it will warm you from your balls to your solar plexus with its message and its subtle delivery of said message. Watch this film.

Great Movie! I think that everyone in this movie had gone above and beyond and did their job. I think that Emily can work both roles in her career. The comic role and the serious role. It would say hats off to all actor's/actress's in this movie! Everyone was AWESOME! I stay home all week with 2 small children and I am 39 years old. I was so looking forward to this movie all week just to have 2 hours to myself. Thanks to all the cast for making it a good movie for me, as I don't get much time to myself. I think that is a huge issue in schools and everyone has done a outstanding job trying to get the message across. Hopefully, some of these teens will take all of this inn and try to do the right thing from now on. I was a kid once and did some mean things and to this day I am still not happy about it. It is like one of those things, If I could turn back time. I regret those days. I think that Kelly Rowan did a excellent job as Mom in the movie, I have alway's been a fan of her as well. I hope that all of the young one's will go far in their career, they deserve it.

CYBERBU//Y - CATCH IT ( B+ ) Cyberbu//y has to be the best and not stereotypical movie on ABC Family. Its an really honest effort towards the Cyber bullying, which has recently taken world by storm. The recent teen suicides has shocked USA and many campaigns and stars have spoken again it.

Emily Osment has come a long way from Hanna Montana's sidekick to this, she gave truly amazing Performance in the movie. She showed that if role is given she can give some really serious performance. Kay Panabaker delivers a honest performance as frenemy. Jon McLaren is really cute and smart doesn't look like 27years old at all. Good gene.

Overall, Cyberbu//y is a really good heart hitting movie, better than all over tween movies on ABC Family. Even though I feel the last 20mints and ending was little sugar coated!
