I was almost tempted to rate this movie a ten ironically, but after re-watching, I just can't. This truly is the greatest comedy I've ever seen. Shame it was unintentional. From lines like "Too gay to lift." to the infamous "I can't get the cap off!", the movie has so many moments of unintentional comedy that you'd swear it was actually an ironic comedy poking fun at these types of movies. But alas, it is attempting to be serious with its message. I suggest you watch YMS' review of the film before ever watching it, and even then, go in drunk and ready to just have a good laugh.

Seriously?!?!? The people who are leaving baaad reviews of this film obviously have no idea what it's like being cyber bullied!!! It's not as simple as deleting a message/comment... once you see it, it's then stuck in your head and the more you read the more you believe... and aswell as high school goes... yes it can be like this... high school is the lowest of lows for some people... you know the sayings "that girl you called a slut because she was pregnant... well she was raped Etc etc... so yes you all may think this film as bad or crap or unrealistic... but through the persons eyes who is suffering it's exactly like this and worse... this film isn't just about showing the effects that cyber bullying or bullying at all can have on a person it's also showing how fucked up this society has become and how it also feels and looks through someone's eyes... so please take this Film seriously... could save a life!!!!!!!!!

Looking at the reviews, it seems that this movie is vastly misunderstood. I see lots of complaints coming from people, who thought the plot was realistic, and something like that would never happen in real life.I beg to differ. On the contrary, I thought it was quite believable as this is actually how many a bullying case starts and escalates. I have been there myself and have seen others under similar circumstances. The much hyped about "Mean Girls" - now that was lame and unrealistic.I don't think Emily Osment is particularly talented, though. A far cry from her brother for sure. The main bully (Lindsay) was not very good, either. Wooden, one-dimensional, passive. One of the lousiest performances I've seen in a while; couldn't pass for a bully in a million years. The rest of the cast were fine, though.Well, I didn't really understand Lindsay's motives for going after Tyler. She didn't seem to be interested in Tyler's crush and Tyler never really crossed her in any way, so no real reason for all the hate. Jealously, perhaps? Although, it's not Tyler had anything much for Lindsay to be jealous of really. On the other hand, teens don't need a reason really - many of them will pick on their peers out of boredom / just for fun.I have always believed that it's not about how people treat you, but about how you take it. Some, under the same circumstances, like Tyler, might think it's the end of the world and might, indeed, attempt suicide. Others will brush it off and get on with their lives. Yet others will strike back in an aggressive way. Depends entirely of the individual.This story is about an impressionable girl, for whom this whole thing is a really big deal, so she reacts the way she does. Fine by me. If you would respond in a different way, - great. But it doesn't mean that everyone is the same and doesn't make the movie "unrealistic".And, finally, those, who claim that their friends would never do to them what Tyler's best friend did... Jeez, you haven't seem much of this life, have you? There are thousands of stories of betrayal by friends far worse than the one depicted in "Cyberbully". Take "Odd Girl Out" for instance (a great movie, by the way).All in all, I thought "Cyberbully" was not as bad as most of the reviews suggest.

Not sure if my review actually contains any "spoilers" but, just in case... I wasn't very satisfied with the way the characters chose to deal with the situations. I felt like I was watching a very cheesy version of what would happen in real life. It was frustrating to watch so many people not stand up for themselves or others. There are quite a few people who I felt genuinely needed their ass kicked or needed some kind of intelligent karmatic revenge served to them, but were instead dealt with very silently or not at all. The reactions from a lot of the characters were very weak and poorly performed. Overall the movie left me feeling like justice hadn't truly been served and just makes me want to slap some bitches.
