Why the Phony Ratings Controversy Over Bully is Giving the Movie a Wedgie
This blog writer takes the stance that Harvey Weinstein's argument for getting a PG-13 rating, that he thinks it's important for all kids to see, is wrongheaded. "Importance" does not give your movie the right to have special treatment in a standard ratings system that millions of other films have had to go through.
"Honestly, Bully feels like a movie parents should be watching to get an inside look at what school can be like for bullied kids. And if parents are old enough for an R-rated movie—or at least able to bring their kids to the movie—what's Weinstein's problem?"
