"She Cried No" AKA "Freshman Fall,is a pretty good TV movie,but it is pretty generic for the genre.it doesn't stand out or anything,but it is well made.the acting performances are pretty good and the characters are pretty believable.the one thing that does set this movie apart would be the ending,which is unexpected and unconventional for this type of movie,at least in my experience.it's nice to see a movie that doesn't cop out in the end.it's also nice to see a strong female character.the movie is certainly watchable and well paced,though there isn't really a lot of tension.still,it's a decent way to spend 90 minutes.i give "She Cried No"a 7/10

Pretty good TV movie about college kids partying hard and taking things a little too far. The performances are good and the film holds up still with it's timeless relevance of taking advantage of someone, drunk or not.

I liked this movie for two main reasons: I like both Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Candace Cameron. Not that this script or plot is original, but I still enjoyed it. What can I say? TV movies are my guilty pleasure. I think although these two stars may have reasonably "fizzled out" and you never hear from them anymore, they're still young and talented regardless of what anyone says. I think they both display wonderful acting in this flick. Candace as a rape victim and Mark as an unbelievably great bad guy. Somehow I never expected "Preppie" to take on this role lol. Never the less, if it's on one night and you're in the mood for a something dealing with this subject, definitely check it out. It won't be the most impressive film you've ever seen (but are any TV movies anyways) but it'll help pass the time and more than likely keep you entertained.

This movie is great. Although I wouldn't call it original. Movies like this have been made for years. But this is still different. I can't exactly put my finger on what it is that makes it so different. It could be the amazingly talented cast members. I can't say. Candace Cameron Bure plays the part as the young student Melissa perfect. Mark-Paul Gosselaar plays his part as Scott Baker so good that you actually hate him. I hope that the guys who sees this movie will understand what rape can do to a girl and that if she says no she means it. And I hope that the girls will take better care of them self after watching this movie.

Recently discovered a ton of trashy made-for-TV movies on Prime, and I am in Heaven. This film stars a lot of "it" people from the 90s, which is a definite win.

It's completely unoriginal but you know what? We're still having conversations about consent today. We are still living a trope where no one believes the victim, where she (because the victim is usually a woman) is afraid to speak, and everyone sides with the perpetrator while the victim is the one on trial.

Still.

With regards to the film, the leads play their parts well, showing their acting range. Although we remember Candace Cameron Bure and Mark-Paul Gosselaar as fun, cute, sweet characters, they both come out of these roles to portray real people with very real issues which cannot be resolved neatly within half an hour. Credit where credit's due, they do an amazing job.

I couldn't stand watching the rape scene in this movie. After watching EVERY episode of Saved By The Bell, this movie left a bad after-taste of Marl-Paul Gosselaar! It took me a long time to support anything else he played in. However, "Scott" is like "Zack Morris" as he'd rather lie when the truth would do better, and almost gets away with the rape by doing so! (Apparently, Lifetime TV bought the rights to this movie. I've seen bits and pieces of this movie many times on Lifetime, and have to change the channel when I know that scene is coming up.) Candice Cameron was excellent in changing from her "D.J. Tanner" image. Through the whole movie, I knew that I had seen her in something before, but couldn't name her.

An oldie but a good movie. Quite brave putting 2 major likeable TV stars in the roles. Mark Paul Gosselaar and Candace Cameron Bure a time well. Very well. The reactions are realistic and clearly portrayed. Some good points are the rapist not even thinking he did anything wrong, the brother not siding her initially, the self blame and doubt of the victim because she was drunk and going willingly to his roommate . All the obstacles about going after the perp and different perceptions of the parties are so real.

Quite meaningful considering what happened in Stanford recently.

If anyone ever doubted the acting abilities of Candace Cameron and Mark Paul Gosselear then you should see this film and watch them give intense, riveting, and honest performances about a college freshman( candace) who gets raped by the stud on campus (mark-paul) Cameron is so believable as Melissa that you feel the pain right there with her, and Gosselear is probably one of the best Jerks on screen. He is fantastic and makes you hate him. Jenna Von Oy of Blossom is also wonderful as Melissa's roommate. A seriuous tv movie about rape handled very well and tastefully that will certainly make some people think.

What would you do if you were out on a date and the man you were with tried to rape you? In 2002, more than 70,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 were victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape. One in three women will be a victim of sexual assault in her lifetime. It's crucial that you know what precautions to take to prevent these kinds of assault and how to respond when a date doesn't take no for an answer. The statistics are staggering. In the United States, a woman is raped approximately every six minutes. If you're being attacked and there is any possibility of escape, go for it! Find the courage to take the risk. In this movie, She Cried No AKA Freshman Fall, D.J. Tanner-Fuller from Full House and it's spinoff, Fuller House (played by Candace Cameron Bure) headed off to college, she was thrilled to be starting out on a new adventure and when she met Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell, and it's prequel, Good Morning, Miss Bliss and it's spinoffs, Saved by the Bell: The College Years and Saved by the Bell: The New Class (played by Mark Paul Glosseaar) at the dorm, not only did they quickly become good friends. D.J. thought he might be the man of her dreams. For their first official date, Zack invited D.J. to a fraternity party. All through the party, he was a perfect gentleman. Then they started drinking beer and jello shooters. Then, Zack took D.J. upstairs to his room and played some music , but things went very differently when they started making out. The 2 started kissing, but a short time later, D.J. started to feel uncomfortable. D.J. tried to defuse the situation by treating it as a joke. But Zack wasn't joking and before D.J. could stop him, he was on top of her. D.J. was terrified but resisted. Before D.J. could react, Zack overpowered her. She tried to fight him off but failed, then he began to rape her. D.J. was in total shock. She couldn't scream. She just shut down. Zack realized D.J. was serious. There'd be no sex. He gave up trying and without a word of apology, he just stood there while she ran off. He seemed genuinely sorry. After being raped by a man she knew, D.J. was completely devasted. For hours, D.J. lay in bed, tired and confused and her mind racing. She couldn't believe what had happened and she didn't think anyone else on campus would believe it either. At first, D.J. didn't tell anyone what had happened. but after a whole month of loneliness and doubt, she told the doctor who advised her to tell her parents. Her parents said D.J. had the option of going to the police. But that was a step she couldn't take just yet. Then she ran into Zack in the hallway. D.J. went to the police who warned her that a rape case would be hard to prove. But D.J. wasn't going to give up now. She went to the dean of students and demanded an on campus trial. The trial found Zack not guilty but D.J. wasn't going to let it stop there. She made a tape of the frat party to prove that Zack. was guilty and his fraternity home was then closed. Date rape remains a wide spread problem across America especially on high school and college campuses. Most date rape victims are between 16 and 19 years old. Don't let it happen to you. There are ways to protect yourself. Remember 3 rules. 1) No means no! Only give your willing consent if you want to have sex. 2) Demand respect and follow through. 3) Be responsible with alcohol. Nothing contributes to date rape with more than drugs or alcohol. One study found alcohol involved in 55% of all sexually aggressive dates. Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell and it's prequel, Good Morning, Miss Bliss and it's spinoffs, Saved by the Bell: The College Years and Saved by the Bell: The New Class (played by Mark Paul Glosseaar) drank beer in the movie, She Cried No AKA Freshman Fall where he attacked D.J. Tanner-Fuller from Full House and it's spinoff, Fuller House (played by Candace Cameron Bure) and he tried to pressure her into drinking jello shooters. Don't go to a bar on a first date and don't go out drinking with any man you don't completely know or trust. Date rapists also use drugs. Rohypnol is the most common. Know what the pill looks like. Rohypnol tablets are white and have a single line across one side and the marking Roche one or Roche 2 on the other side. It has no taste or odor in a drink and can cause blackouts and memory loss. GHB is also used by rapists. In Silencing Mary, Clay Roberts (Josh Hopkins) poured it into Holly Sherman's (Lisa Dean Ryan) cocktail. She got drunk and was raped. She later dropped out of school but her roommate went through some stuff while cleaning their dorm and found the dress she wore that night. She found evidence of rape and brought the police enough evidence to charge Clay. GHB is also known as liquid ecstasy. It is a clear liquid and has a very salty taste. You'd never notice it in a margarita. In small doses, it heightens mood. Larger doses can cause blackouts very quickly, even death. Some bars offer women test strips to detect date rape drugs. Place a few drops of your drink on the strip and wait a minute. The strip will turn blue if it detects GHB or the sedative Ketamin. The strips are not 100% accurate and don't work on wine or fruit juice. Bottom line: Don't accept drinks from strangers and keep an eye on your drink at all times. There are warning signs that your date may become sexually aggressive. Be careful if he's a little too physical. Someone who pokes you with a finger or hugs you when you resist is not being playful. He's trying to dominate you. Aggressive words are indicators too. If he boasts of old sexual conquests or says "You're lucky to be with me.", he wants control, not love. Finally, if he demands to be alone with you too fast and pushes too hard, he could be looking for trouble. At the FBI, we put date rapists into 2 categories. power reassurance rapists are the most common of all sexual predators. We call them gentlemen rapists. During an attack, they think they're making love, pleasing a woman. They don't consider it a crime. Many women have success stopping these guys with firm clear communication, "Back off! I don't want to do this!", "Stop! This is not love, this is rape!" or "I will call the police! You will go to jail!" just like they would if they're attacked by an acquaintance, a child molestor or a spouse. If words don't work, you maybe dealing with the power assertive rapist. He wants power and control over you. He'll use threats or intimidation to get what he wants. You have to fight back much harder just like you would, if attacked by a stranger or 3 Multiples. So, when alone, women should stay away from groups of strangers, especially men that have been drinking. People in groups tend to act more violently, fight the second you sense something is wrong. Scream "get away" or "help" to draw attention to the situation, Tell the assailant you know self-defense and disable your attacker by going for his softest spot-his eyes. He instinctively will try to protect himself-enough time for you to run or drop to the ground, and start kicking using your strongest part of your body-your legs and constantly look for a chance to escape. Tell the police about a sexual assault. Approximately 30% of rapes go unreported; this encourages rapists to think they can get away with it. Report the incident. A power assertive rapist in She Said No named Martin Knapek (Judd Hirsch) tried to force himself on Elizabeth Early (Veronica Hamel). Words wouldn't stop him so after he assaulted her, she called 911 and waited in the phone booth. Police came and arrested him. Women who are date raped often say, "I couldn't believe it was happening. I was caught off guard." Don't let it happen to you. Be careful with alcohol, know the warning signs, know how to say no and don't be afraid to end the date.

SHE CRIED NO, in my opinion, is an excellent drama that'll have you on the edge of your seat. When Scott (Mark-Paul Gosselear) raped Melissa (Candace Cameron Bure), I got really scared. It's kind of hard to explain why. If you ask me, she should have been more careful about what she did with him. However, I did enjoy seeing her get help and talk to other people about the incident. Had I been the victim, I would tell my parents right away before getting examined by a doctor. After that, I'd press charges and hope that the guy who raped me got life in prison. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say, "If you ask me, SHE CRIED NO really shows you the effect date rape can have on a young woman, even when a long period of time has passed." Now, in conclusion, I recommend this movie to everyone who hasn't seen it. You're in for some thrills and a good time, so the next time it's on TV, kick back with a friend and watch it.

Though the ending was a little sudden, the movie overall is very entertaining. The focus is, of course, the very serious topic of rape -- why it happens, how to recognize it, and how to deal with it. But what really makes this movie stand out from its genre is the abundance of early-90s preteen television stars. You have Candace Cameron (or DJ Tanner) from "Full House," Mark-Paul Gosselaar (or Zack Morris) from "Saved by the Bell," Jenna Von Oy (or Six LeMeure) from "Blossom," and Nikki Cox (or Tiffany) from "Unhappily Ever After." The reunion of the now-grown-up stars is a reason alone to see this movie. Plus, they pretty much all play characters that are the complete opposite of the roles they're famous for -- which has to make any nostalgic 90s tv fan smile!

I think anyone could enjoy this movie.. Whether you're a guy or a girl. This movie kind of teaches guys how to treat women in the long run.. that there bodies aren't toys. When that happened to me.. I didn't think there was a single soul like me.. but when I saw this movie, she was exactly like me.. The helpless girl that was raped because some guys are pigs.. and her brother was amazing when he found out Melissa wasn't lying, but I think you could be 10 and enjoy this movie or u can be 75 and enjoy this movie.. me and my mom loved it! even though it was a little interesting seeing Mark-Paul Gosselaar raping Candace Cameran Bure.. Zack Morris and DJ Tanner. such innocent shows.. but thats great for me because I love both of the actors!

This type of film is always needed to be produced because every new generation is like lambs to the slaughter. However, years ago men took advantage of women at early ages in life, grade school, high school and college and they got away with date rape and just plain man handling of woman because no one spoke about such things and the gals kept quiet. This film portrays things that happen in our colleges today and the practice will never STOP, but films like this will always help enlighten young people men and woman to treat each other with respect and attend to matters of learning than just drinking and have a party in the local campus bars. In this picture, Candance Cameron Bure (Melissa Connell), portrays a young gal starting her freshman year and meets up with Scott Baker,(Mark-Paul Gosselaar),"NYPDBLUE '05 who is an older student at the college and happens to be good friends with Candance brother who attends the same college. They are all invited to a party where all the snacks are mostly saturated with liquor of some kind and of course, the main goal of the men is to get the gals plastered to the gills. If you find yourself getting involved with such situations, GUYS OR GALS make certain you don't fall into this big trap that will destroy your life and career and maybe even MORE !

Okay, so it's not exactly the greatest movie of all time, but it's definitely got a couple of good laughs. It deals with a serious subject, but it's hard to take the movie seriously... I mean, look at the cast list...Mark Paul Gosselaar, aka Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell. And Candace Cameron/DJ Tanner- throw a little Six from Blossom into the mix and you've got yourself a winner! I highly recommend this movie as a made-for-TV classic...especially pay attention to DJ's video montage at the end, it's great!
