Death of A Cheerleader (1994 TV Movie)

Good movie, but overly one-sided

[7/10 · 29 September 2005]

This movie is based on the true story of Kirsten Costas and Bernadette Protti. It is a good movie in many ways, but, as many have said already, a little too one-sided. It's very disrespectful towards a murdered girl (Costas) who is not alive to defend herself. Yes, it is horrible how cruel some kids can be towards one another, particularly in high school. I understand that Angela/Bernadette had many problems and may have been looked down upon or made to feel like less of a person because her family was not wealthy. I was not popular in High School myself. But- this still does not justify the murder, or the trashing (with a movie) of a girl who by all accounts was loved by her friends and family.
