Reading 'Bully' as a Family Film

Tara Poker-Pope of the New York Times did a write-up on how to read Bully as a family film and why the hoopla associated with the MPAA shouldn't effect a parent's decision to take their kids to see it. The slippery tentacles of the Weinsteins may have used the rating issue to generate buzz but the director claims in an interview that he never wanted to make an, "R-Spirited Film."

Time will tell if this film will become known as the movie that changed the MPAA or was just a Weinstein marketing stunt.
