Odd Girl Out (2005 TV Movie)
9/10
Gossips, jealousy... what is a best friend anyways?
22 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This movie shows that anyone can be bullies or victims of bullies. An act or becoming a victim (by means of gossips or embarrassing images) has just unknowingly occurred and ignored. An example that triggers no intent of anyone to blow off the flame from the moment a matchstick is struck-lit off the matchbox. It is not understood and can be blown beyond reasonable limits.

Emily did show her the magic of sticking up for yourself and of a true companion/friend who just knows how to be a friend and not get too close or nosy about personal things.

  • My favorite part of the movie! - Emily (Shari Perry) showed Vanessa (Alexa Vega) how to stand on her own grounds. An actual retaliating mood, a shoulder knock-off and saying to Stacey (Leah Pipes) that she doesn't have anything worth imaging or (Mean Girls: "plastics"), "you have nothing that I want!".


This movie has gathered an amazing cast. Especially Alexa Vega (Spy Kids) who was the ultimate victim, as well as the members of the "White Tornados" Nikki (Elizabeth Rice) & Tiffany (Alicia Morton) and a few more, and "Stacey wannabes", proved to have stretched their emotional limits to further extend the meaning of bully and how it could really drive a person to the edge of his/her conscience and do silly things.

Ultimately, this movie specifically focuses on the emotions between students in Middle & High School, as well as the helpless & wondrous parents who finally understand the masterpiece. Many people do not understand how words used can have a huge effect on the people around them, family and other adults, schoolmates and classmates, friends and best-friends ("We're friends right, we'll always be friends" and a touching hug... "Best Friends."), boyfriends and girlfriends.

Yeah... the movie was however TOO cruel at one point where the word "slut" was used to describe someone whom you have actually planned to trick when you're the one asking them for help? That word was bit of a backfire to the characters that used the word against Vanessa (in a sense of how they wanted to pursue their act of jealousy).

This movie is highly recommended for other purposes too. I really found that it has educational value besides jealousy riding within boyfriend competition or how to get rid of "teacher's pets", and that is how to (keep-track of what you did)/(cite your sources).

Work hard, play hard!
