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.

View MoreSpeaking 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

View MoreWithin 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?"
... View MoreI saw the premiere, and it was respectable, but a little disappointing. I've seen this sort of story many, many times before. It really reminds me of Mean Girls. Where the good girl tries to bring down the popular crowd, and turns into the popular crowd herself. Then, there's always the best friend who brings the girl back to the real world. It's a little different from Mean Girls, with the whole using the truth through a newspaper, instead of telling lies, but it's generally the same thing. You'd think ABC Family would be able to come up with something more original, but you can't really blame them, trying to make a hit off of another movie. In fact, I've seen it done before, and liked the knock-off better. In all, I'll give Campus Confidential a rating of somewhere between 7 and 8.
