Bully

Not much nuance to the plot, and a pretty basic execution, but it was still an enjoyable diversion if you like underdog movies. The characters were likable, and the ending sufficiently satisfying. Again, no cinematic masterpiece, but a simple, fun movie.

Its a well used idea, with some well used over the top actors, who draws the line for this treat and retreat film about a bukkied teenagers venge to revenge.

its an awful mess of filmaking, they should have made some more takes here and there, just to remove the soundboom shadows here and there, so if your in for silver screen magic than make a halt, its not that. but the bullied wins this test, and as a comedy it will at least feed the tase of somebody out there. the grumpy old man have seen a lot better than this, but the archetype caracters , saves the grace.

A B grade film that delivered for me. If you are a movie snob planning to spend the entire time analyzing all technical aspects of a movie, this is not the movie for you. It's not a documentary or reality movie, there are fictional things...things that may not be likely to actually happen in real life. Some movies are designed to suspend reality, not be it. Reality is often not funny, and in many cases, not entertaining to me. Life is already too serious.

The reality aspects of this movie arent funny. The only people who scoff and say bullying is all part of growing up have never been tormented by a serious bully...or I should say, "criminal"...because the things bullies do are illegal in adult life...and should be illegal in teen life because these people virtually ruin some kid's teenage years, physically assault kids, and extort them. Bullies, as with other criminals dont stop being so at age 18, they tend to go on to become horrible adults. And because they are allowed to get away with their criminal behavior, they are emboldened, often coddled by a system that ignores their victims.

I'm still young at heart enough to relate to the adolescence, high school life and coming to age feel of a movie like this, and also deal with the stuff that makes this movie rated age 18+ (I still haven't figured out why specifically that rating). This may not be a blockbuster but it held my attention to the end, something I cant say about many other much higher rated movies.

This is a fun, feel-good film with likeable characters, just a few laughs, and an upbeat happy ending. It's about as far from a masterpiece of film making as one can get, but it has a lot of heart and it had me smiling throughout. As someone who watches a ton of films and severely dislikes most of them (just look at my ratings), this was a very pleasant surprise.

It was a nice family type movie my only problem is it is not realistic as in most bullying cases.. other kids don't look out for the bully in fear that they will be shunned. Most bullying movies are like this but in actuality the person being bullied does not have the support of other students.

Some light comedy and a few surprise actors brought the grade up
