لا مكان آمن

So I like Natasha Henstridge (in spite of some of her bad role choices), and I like Danielle C. Ryan (seen her in a few Lifetime movies), and Jamie Kennedy's only achievement was his part in one of the Scream movies. Although the movie covered an important subject, cyber bullying at school, but it failed miserably in trying to send the message. The plot was weak, it was all over the place. And most importantly Kennedy playing an eccentric over-enthusiastic history teacher who liked to play dress up for his classes was the most diabolical aspect of the movie. I am guessing he was meant to be a weird, introverted character, but he failed miserably. And realistically no woman would so quickly fall for a weirdo like that. Especially their initial few interactions. I mean walking off with a smoke machine in the middle of a conversation that should have been weird and creepy enough for a sensible woman to keep a distance. Also the concept that a bully quickly has an epiphany and suddenly becomes a good guy is totally unrealistic. Bullies do not change overnight and even if they do they would not change so quickly because they develop a crush on someone. Anyway I disagree with all bar one reviews.

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

I am glad that I ignored the bad reviews and watched this movie. It was well worth it. It had a great message about courage, friendship, loyalty, truth, and is timely for the current issue of cyber bullying. If you are looking for a well acted, funny, poignant movie with a happy ending, then this is it. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a chance.

This was a pretty good movie. It has great lessons in it about cyber bullying and it helps us see what a person can go through. Encourages people not to cyber bully.

This movie was so unrealistic, it was hard to watch. This movie assumes that high school students are innocent little angels, having no idea what the Colosseum is and actually doing their homework (sure, that happens). The movie likes to play the "pronoun game" with us at the beginning, using pronouns like "they" and "them" to hide the background of the story from the story from the audience, even though it is already obvious what the story's about. Also, the "mean" comments posted on this fake Facebook page were hardly mean at all. Sure, they were a little hurtful, but a lot of them were pretty funny. The message of this movie was lost in its unreal inconsistencies. To be honest, it would have been more exciting to see a suicide that having the student body go from hating the girl to falling in love with her in a matter of seconds.

I have no idea how this film even received 5 stars out of ten. The website I watched this film from showed that IMDb rated it at 8 stars. I was shocked. Anything with Jamie Kennedy carrying anything above a 4 or 5 star review was certainly worth my time. So I watched it. I waited and waited for something about the movie to cause me to agree that it deserved the 8 star IMDb rating it had claimed to achieve. In fact, at the film's mid-point, I might have given it a 5 star review, but the ending was ridiculous. The film floated the notion that absolutely ANYTHING posted on YouTube will go viral in matter of minutes. As well the film perpetuated the myth that everyone is gullible and believes everything they read online— refusing to understand, let alone believe that fictitious Facebook pages can be created to defame a person. And how easily the tide turned against the lies and bullying once everyone discovered "the error of their ways". If that wasn't bad enough, the only two distinguishable actors, Natasha Henstridge and Jamie Kennedy close this unbelievable After-School Special on Cyber-Bullying, with the most forced and unnatural looking lip-lock it has ever been my discomfort to see. My lord, what a bad film. If there is a hell, it would be forced viewing (eye-lids peeled back and held with clips) of this sort of stuff for an eternity.

I expected this to be as trite as these movies tend to be, but it actually kept me engaged and made me laugh in a few parts. Sure, it is as sappy as you can get, but these types of movies are. And I like that the girl went to another school and they bullying followed her... Because this happens to a lot of kids and many who had the bullying follow them did not manage to rise above. This might give them hope.

This was such a good movie! Can't understand the other reviews. Good for all kids who use cell phones. Telling untruths can DESTROY someone's life, and even make them consider something horrible to stop the pain. Dove family films gave it five stars. Acting is really good, and believable. I checked this out through interlibrary loan, and am considering purchasing it. This is a feel good afterward movie! Please make your own decision about this film, and don't listen to the negative reviews.
