Who’s to blame? The parent, the child or the bully? I think we all know that answer…or at least we should.

Bully

Plot Summary: A documentary about the epidemic of bullying in public schools and the fight to bring awareness to it and hopefully bring it to an end.
Release Date: March 30, 2012

Poster

Trailer
Rating: C+
Commentary: Even the taunts scraped into the word bully don’t do much to improve the overall blandness of the poster. I suppose without getting graphic or sappy, this is the best they could come up with, but it probably won’t do much. 		Rating: B
Commentary: Harvey Weinstein’s struggle to overturn an R-rating for this film seems to fly in the face of efforts to bring this type of film to others’ attentions. The trailer doesn’t really suggest much in the way of violence or language, and the fact that the language is likely coming from the kids themselves is further evidence why parents need to watch this and then do so with their kids.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: I think Weinstein may have another potential Oscar winner on its hands, but at the very least an Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Feature.
