Cyberbully/YMMV

Alternate Character Interpretation: Were Samantha's actions a well-intentioned attempt to protect her best friend that went too far, jealousy because she was in love with the guy paying Taylor interest, or is she a self-hating closeted lesbian who uses the internet to fantasize about dating her best friend and acting on her hatred of jocks.
Cliché Storm: Hits all the cliches prevalent in this genre.
Critical Research Failure: It's blatantly clear that the writer knows nothing about the Internet.
- For example, the resolution is to make even minor trolling illegal, to the point of monitoring every computer in the state to make sure it never happens. This sort of monitoring is blatantly illegal.
- It may or may not have been done on purpose in order to prove a point. They likely justify it as an artistic decision to remind us just how horrible cyberbullying is (which it is, of course, but still), and/or to "warn" us about what might happen if it doesn't stop. Either way, it wouldn't make it that much different from other movies of this type (even if it did air on ABC Family). The CRF arguably just made things worse (for both the victims, their familes, and anyone else who knows them)...
Designated Hero: Arguably Taylor. She has quite a few moments where she's kinda bitchy to girls who are supposedly her best friends, and when a homosexual boy in her class tries to sympathize with her about the cyber-bullying, he tells her that people post on his page calling him homophobic names a lot. Taylor's response is basically "Yeah but you really are gay so it's totally not the same as what I'm going through."
- To be fair, she does apologize to the guy when they end up in a self-help group together. Still doesn't explain her other cases of bitchiness.
- Downplayed and justified: before being bullied, she doesn't understand the depth of the injuries one can cause with the internet, or even with words. She doesn't even really mind being called "Lardo" or "Dogface". The fact that she gets better proves that she understood the point and she gets Character Developpment in the end.
Designated Villain: Lindsay and her father are ridiculously played as if they are utterly devoid of redeeming qualities.
Epic Fail: I CAN'T GET THE CAP OFF!
Esoteric Happy Ending: Yeah, do you really think things are going to be better for these girls after all that happens between them?
- Not to mention the whole Big Brother Is Watching aspect to the problem's solution.
Glurge
Idiot Plot: Nobody thinks of blocking the people harassing Taylor until the last ten minutes of the film.
Intended Audience Reaction : The realization that anyone can be a bully, even a victim of bullying.
Les Yay: Sam states near the end that she created the fake Internet guy profile and used it to flirt with Taylor in order to "protect her from a guy". Sounds a bit like Clingy Jealous Girl behavior...
Love It or Hate It: People who didn't take it seriously: "I hate that movie ! It's like one of those Lifetime things about how rich WASPs can angst for hours over nothing, and you're supposed to sympathize because the girl is Emily Osment.". People who took bullying seriously: "This movie is awesome! It's like somehow some people refuse making fun of how I am depressed because my bullies make fun of me, and no one tells me I'm wangsting. I stopped being an Acceptable Target!".
Memetic Mutation: I CAN'T GET THE CAP OFF!
- "ur a liar lindsay"
Narm: Buckets full. Seriously, this thing rivals High School Musical in the narm department.
Snark Bait: Already, it's gaining a reputation for this, Especially among actual Cyberbullying victims.
So Bad It's Good
What an Idiot!: The protagonist yells "Help! I can't get the cap off!" to her friend when she's trying to open a pill bottle, and can't get it open. Does she expect her friend to open it and let her attempt suicide?
