Odd Girl Out

Some think of their early school years as their "glory days," but for many teen girls it's a time of psychological warfare filled with backstabbing, jealousy and phoniness — and that's among your closest friends. Welcome to the world of Vanessa, a well-liked girl who suddenly finds herself in the popular crowd's line of fire.

Vanessa has always been best buds with queen bee Stacey. But when a petty tiff escalates between the two, Stacey and her posse viciously turn on Vanessa. Barbara, Vanessa's mom, struggles to help her daughter evolve from outcast to survivor.

Based on the national best-seller "Odd Girl Out," this film is a shocking look at the behavior of adolescent girls. Mothers and daughters should watch it together!
