Odd Girl Out is a 2005 drama telefilm starring Alexa Vega (Vanessa), Lisa Vidal (Barbara), Elizabeth Rice (Nikki), Alicia Morton (Tiffany), Leah Pipes (Stacy), Shari Dyon Perry (Emily), Joey Nappo (Ezra) and Chad Biagini (Tony). The movie was first aired on April 4, 2005 on Lifetime Television. It is the story about the struggles of 13-year-old Vanessa Snyder, who must deal with the brutality and peer pressure of middle school students.
This film is based on the advice book Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls by Rachel Simmons. It sheds light into the topic of girls' hostility and bullying which is usually non-physical, indirect and hard to detect. Simmons tells the reader that this problem is harmful, destructive and usually ignored, leaving victims to suffer in silence.
Vanessa Snyder and her two best friends, Nikki and Stacey face Middle School together as the three most popular girls in the 8th grade. Stacey has a huge crush on pretty boy Tony. Tony has a crush on Vanessa. Outside the girls bathroom, waiting for Stacey, Nikki and Vanessa plan Stacey's birthday party. Vanessa is asked to invite Tony. When she does invite him, it looks to Stacey and Nikki that Vanessa's hitting on Tony. A few days later at a Cafe, Nikki suggests to Vanessa that she should ask Tony to go out with Stacey. She says she would, but Tony's interested in Vanessa even more. When he won't go out with Stacey, she and Nikki are determined to ruin Vanessa's life with a "Hating Vanessa' website, hinting that she's getting fat, she's a slut, and a druggie after accidentally overdosing on sleeping pills. With her new best friend Emily, she graduates and moves on to high school, leaving Nikki and Stacey behind due to the fact that Nikki didn't graduate and Stacey's a backstabbing liar.
