    • Trivia
      The movie's story is at least somewhat inspired by the suicide of Megan Meier, a teenager living in Missouri who committed suicide after a mother, Lori Drew, her daughter, and their then-employee Ashley Grills pretended to be a teenage boy named Josh Evans and bullied her online after pretending to be her friend.
    • Goofs
      Taylor's phone changes throughout the movie. You can tell by the camera lens on the back.

    Heart was in the right place, but meh.
    Yes, cyberbullying is rampant, and yes its continuing to get worse. I don't think anyone disputes that. And yes, one way to draw attention to something like this is by making a movie about it.

    Cyberbully plays like an After School Special from the early 90's. The characters are painfully flat and unconvincing, the plot is bland and predictable, and even the drama points made for more effective black comedy than actual drama.

    Overall, Cyberbully has an over-dramatic, hysterical tone which almost seems like it could have been made by teenage girls. Maybe that was the intent?

    While I appreciate the attempt at making a movie dealing with an increasingly hurtful phenomenon, this movie actually ends up trivializing the very issues it was trying to draw attention to.

    A for effort, D- for execution.
