This is a child safe story about cyber-bullying, sort of. For most of the film the cyber thing goes unexplained until 55 minutes into the feature. Forced to go to a new school, Ashley Evans (Danielle Chuchran) is a wonderful model student who effects change because she is beautiful and dumb guys will do anything for a blonde. She is in a weird history class taught by an eccentric teacher who teaches world history and US history in the same class. Mom (Natasha Henstridge) is a drama teacher.
The film attempts to cram in as many of life's lessons as possible into one film. It introduces Max, who is a computer geek who can figure out who sets up web sites, but never provided us with the solid proof that would vindicate Ashley, which leads the accusation open. Of course the film makes her out to be a saint.
If you like sappy films with sappy music this is it. A Lifetime type film.

LIAR! DIE! GET OUT!
All around great wit w awesome message.
An excellent movie with a great message, engaging characters, great script and fantastic acting. Danielle Chuchran and Natasha Henstridge do a superb job as the mother and daughter, and the quirky history teacher (portrayed by Jamie Kennedy) is the perfect combination of eccentricity, warmth, wisdom and kindness. The young actors who portray Ashley's eventual "knights" (James Gaisford and Jeremias Elvegaard) are also very believable: flawed, yet likable young men who grow with the storyline. Probably one of the best features was the superior dialogue, delivered by all the actors in a completely believable and natural fashion. (Kudos to the director on that one). It's hard to pick out a favorite on such a great effort by all, but my vote is with Danielle Chuchran - she portrays Ashley with subtlety, passion, and an appealing vulnerability that gives way to strength at the conclusion. Well done! I wish there were more movies made like this - maybe the world would be a little better place. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 1/3/2020
Good Story, Very Relevant to Today's Social Climate
I'm not sure why other reviewers considered this movie unrealistic, other than the daughter being allowed to take such a public stand at the end of the movie. But, the vindictiveness and mob mentality portrayed in this was spot on. The relationship between the mother and daughter was healthy and realistic. The contention between the oddball (history) teacher and the administration was very realistic. And, if you've ever lived in a small, rural town, being demonized and horrifically harassed was exactly what a personal friend experienced just a couple years ago. This was a very good story that was well acted with a great message.
