The tyranny, cruelty, and sheer hell of high-school peer pressure and teen bullying has seldom been so vividly realized as in this made-for-cable drama, which some critics have likened to the theatric... read more read more...al feature Mean Girls. Alexa Vega heads the cast as Vanessa, a popular straight-A student who enjoys the friendship of campus queen Stacey (Leah Pipes). But when a quarrel fomented by a couple of Stacey's envious hangers-on results in a rift between Stacey and Vanessa, the latter girl suddenly finds herself persona non grata. Treated as a leper by her schoolmates, Stacey is not only exiled from the "cool" lunch table and subjected to vicious insults and accusations in the hallway, but she is also victimized by a "Hate Stacey" website -- but when her mom, Barbara (Lisa Vidal), complains to the principal, she is bluntly told that the school has no authority over any non-school activities, no matter how odious they may be. Driven to desperation by this onslaught of hostility, Vanessa becomes dangerously self-destructive, and it takes the combined efforts of her mother and her fellow "outcast" Emily (Shari Dyon Perry) to restore our heroine's pride and self-esteem...and, ultimately, to get her real priorities back on track. Director Tom McLoughlin, hitherto a specialist in horror films, invests this adaptation of Rachel Simmons' novel with just the right amount of foreboding and subliminal evil. First telecast by the Lifetime channel on April 4, 2005, Odd Girl Out obviously struck a nerve with viewers, if the incredible outpouring of audience response in both print and on the Internet is any indication. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    I had to watch this for a class. Overall it was pretty enjoyable for a made for TV Lifetime movie. I felt that it was pretty predictable as far as these types of movies run but I think that parents should see it so they can see what their children might be going through.

    Another "mean girl" movie which very unfortunately is too close to the truth. A clique in school maliciously decides to snub one of their own members basically because of jealousy, envy and hatred. They make the girl's life so unbearable that she takes pills. The sad thing is,... read more I know this sort of thing happens all the time :((

    As far as made for TV movies go this one is really good. Shows a great insight into what bullying can do to people.

    This movie met my expectations. I recorded this on TV so that I would have something to watch the next day. I thought it was gonna be cheesey and not anything too exciting and I was right. The plot was dramatic and the lighting throughout the whole movie was off. And she didn't e... read moreven get the guy!
