Continuity: After Vanessa is rejected from the lunch table for the second time, she runs to the bathroom and into a stall. She puts her backpack on the floor and stands on the toilet seat to hide when she hears the other girls coming. One of the girls takes a picture of the bottom of Vanessa's stall with their camera phone. When the picture is shown later, you see Vanessa's backpack along with her feet clearly planted on the floor.

I Luv How You Feel

Saddest movie in years...

When I watched this all I kept saying is awww and that's mean. The movie was a true dramatic film and really good too. What happens to Vanessa is tearbreaking and you cannot think anymore things to say. When I watched it I wasn't expecting to cry I just that it would be a good movie. I had to use my hands to wipe my tears and I really wanted to look over this movie on the internet. I've seen the trailer weeks ago and I thought I give it a try. It was really worth my time. Everybody else said it was like Mean Girls and it was actually copying Mean Girls. NO it wasn't copying Mean Girls! Just like one person said on the internet it was like the dramatic version of Mean Girls. I do agree partially because this movie do have some mean girls in it. But not like the common ways both movies went. But this movie was really good and I am looking forward to seeing other movies like that. 7 out of 10.
