BIG BULLY (Theatrical Release USA 1996)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Big Bully—combines the acting skills of Rick Moranis and Tom Arnold—presents a comedy, suitable for families, that examines bullying, the empowerment of the bully, and the need for friendship. The movie is simple, straightforward and fairly well-written, enough so, that small chuckles can be obtained throughout the film.
