Honestly, I was hoping for just a little more involving the actual shooting, but I also understand this movie was to help raise awareness to bullying and the repercussions that are associated with it. The acting is way far from the worst I've seen, although in reality school shootings end within seconds not an hour. This movie moved kind of slow and was sometimes just lagging. The end to me though made it worth watching. Almost gave this indie film a 6 just because of the end.

As entertainment goes, this is not a great movie. It is plodding and slow and makes little sense, but it really isn't meant to be about entertainment. It is about messaging, so that is how I will evaluate it. Unfortunately, the messaging isn't very good either. Most of the movie is essentially a series of skits stitched together which put on display a variety of issues faced by teens, a lot of them related to absent or poor parents. While these are important and real issues, they are treated very superficially, so you just get this smorgasboard of issues with no real depth or conclusions.

A bigger problem, though, for me, is that the whole point of the movie is essentially being against stereotpyes and not pigeon-holing people into subgroups and isolation, yet all of the characters are horribly stereotypical: the Hispanic janitor who gives inspirational encouragement to the stoner, the rich kid fondly reminiscing about trying on Versace shirts with diamond cufflinks with his dad, the gaming geek hackers, the random question out of nowhere asking the jock how long he has been using steroids, the list goes on.

Maybe it is just because I am in my 40's. Perhaps teens would find this relatable and engaging, but my gut feeling thinks that they will feel like this is talking at them and not to them, and that there isn't anywhere close to the depth of understanding to really provide any guidance for the things they are dealing with.

Another huge problem, for me, is that the school shooting part of the movie, actually isn't really necessary. Essentially it serves as the backdrop in which to stage these series of skits. Not only did it feel secondary, but it seemed very unrealistic, and being a topic of such importance deserves so much more than that.

I thought the young actors did a pretty good job with some tough material, and the ending was impactful, which is unfortunate, because I'm not sure everyone will make it that far.

Daeg Fearch played you Michael Meyers in Rob Zombies Halloween remake, that caught my interest in what looked to be a bad B movie, it's not even that good sadly. Daeg is playing Michael Meyers again with the tilt of the head even. He's a cute kid but should take the thing out of his nose, go to acting school and hopefully find some better projects in the future! This movie is rediculous. I hope all these young actors find something better in their future.

Very Mediocre really until the end as other reviewers have noted. This is a lesson movie about bullying and /or ignoring that we have all gone through growing up. Either as antagonists or victims or witnesses. I liked the ending though and the end on its own made the movie worth the time.

Not Bad.

Love it. More! I love any movie that has Daeg against bullies in it- heck any movie where bullies get their dues. Rob Zombie picked a fabulous young soul- i hope he goes on in independent films and slaying bullies.
