Every so often Hollywood takes a serious theme like murder or bullying and tries to make light of it. When that attempt gropes toward the inner pain of dark comedy, the film may have merit. Yet when the focus is on... Full review

I would compare this movie with such classics as Gone With The Wind. It puts a true story like Schindlers List to shame. I laughed, and I cried. I also urinated about a tablespoon from laughing. If I were to make... Full review

The material calls for either outright seriousness or pitch-black humor; the result is a waste of a good idea and a good cast.
This is nonsense, for in an environment where no adult was prepared to help--or even notice--either boy, David in fact did the only sensible thing.

The final irony of "Big Bully" is that Moranis and Arnold are first-rate, but you keep wishing you were watching their David and Fang in an entirely different kind of film.
The material calls for either outright seriousness or pitch-black humor; the result is a waste of a good idea and a good cast.

The Boston Phoenix
There are any number of superfluous scenes and characters, and Carol Kane (as Mrs. Bigger), Julianne Phillips (as Leary's love interest), and particularly Jeffrey Tambor (as Leary's odd next-door neighbor) get wasted in their brief appearances.
settles in on the unfunny and nonsensical storyline about the older bully continuing to torment the bookish Leary
