Review of Bully

Bully (2001)
2/10
An explicit made for TV movie
4 September 2004
This movie seems like it was made only to cash-in on a shocking news item. Despite being based on a true story, the horribly out-of touch writing makes the characters and their motives unbelelievable. There are also many unnecessary crotch-shots of the under-age looking actresses, which I found more disturbing than the movie itself. I think as far as cinema goes, the director Larry Clark has said all he needed to say. His whole point seems to be to leave a bad taste in your mouth and while perhaps that needed to be said with 'Kids', it's not something that needs to be said over and over again. To be honest I was not a big fan of 'Kids' but as tasteless as that movie was, it at least had some shock value. 'Bully' is just plain dull. Now whats on the other channels?
