Charlotte, a plus-size teen girl is bullied by a group of teenagers in high school. She meets a new student, Sam, that helps her stand up for herself. This is a very predictable anti-bullying movie that one would expect to see in a classroom for mean kids, and it is enjoyable. However, the bullying is way over the top. This is the type of stuff that makes you think of "I don't like Mondays". And that the school faculty had zero idea this was going on is ridiculous. I know it is trying to make a point but a little realism is nice too. That they are all BFF's in the end is really just too fluffy to believe. And while the antagonists may, at some time in life, realize what A-holes they were, it would never happen so quickly and sincerely. Anyway, an ok movie to make a point and at under 1 hr., It has the right motivations if not the best writing.

Too cringe to enjoy

Warning: Spoilers
I'll start with the pro's, The message of the overall show is a good message about bullying/life, & for an obviously low budget series, they did a great job with sound/filming. That's it....
The final product however I found annoying. The main character herself is good, it's the side characters that mainly ruin it for me. The bully's themselves are over done. "*spoiler* the fight scene was bad... the story progression after that makes no sense, the way the characters act in regards to situations is unrealistic (example: if someone posts a tiktok bullying you, you'd screenshot or record it to have proof.) main character doesn't and the authority figure ends up not believing them. The background of the main characters and why they act the way they do has been overdone. Everything about this except the main characters performance was pretty bad. If you're a freshman in high school or in elementary it will be a good watch and you'll end up liking it. For anybody that's graduating or in college you'll find it cringy and annoying.
