Its an interesting story, with interesting characters. But it is written in a way that you would picture an older guy writing about his lost teen years, and acted by characters imagining how kids talk. It could have been done much... Full review

Ever see that movie "Kids?" This movie is even more disturbing in that this is based on the book by the same title, which was based on an actual court case. Not for children or the faint of heart; it's jarring,... Full review

Bully is one of the most unrealistic portrayals on teenage culture I’ve ever seen. This is a man who has lost touch with reality. The best way to criticize this movie is to reference a better film… a film that isn’t... Full review

In its own strange way, Bully is a brave, uncompromising film....Nick Stahl, so good in In The Bedroom (probably Bully's polar opposite), is again terrific here.....The cast are all superb, providing an almost documentary feel..... ... Full Review

Bully" is not rated but would probably receive an NC-17 for frequent, excessive use of strong profanity, rampant, full female and male nudity, graphic violence (including a bludgeoning, stabbings and throat-slitting), graphic simulated sex (both straight and gay), graphic gore, simulated drug use (LSD and marijuana), a scene depicting rape and use of both crude sexual slang term ...

Watching Bully soon becomes arduous with repetitious scenes of the teens screwing, smoking pot, listening to rap music, or punching each other out. In Bully , for example, there are two blatant crotch shots of Bijou Phillips , who plays a thick-headed tramp named Ali with a penchant for short-shorts. ... Full Review
