Re: The Weinstein Company Will Release 'Bully' Unrated, theaters to decide whether or not minors see it.

Bravo!  The R rating is just plain stupid.  All while MILLIONS of teenagers are flocking to see the Hunger Game, whose topic is kids killing each other.  Thats PG-13.  Nice!

The Weinstein Company Will Release 'Bully' Unrated

The Weinstein Company will release the film Bully unrated on March 30
after the MPAA refused to budge on its 'R' rating on the film,
according to a press release received by Movieline:

Furthering proof that the R rating for some language is inappropriate
for a film that's meant to educate and help parents, teachers, school
officials and children with what's become an epidemic in schools
around the country, the fight against the rating continues on.

The outpour of support by politicians, schools, parents, celebrities
and activists for the film's mission to be seen by those it was made
for – children – has been overwhelming. Nearly half a million people
have signed Michigan high school student and former bullying victim
Katy Butler's petition on Change.org to urge the MPAA to lower the
rating.

Said BULLY Director Lee Hirsch, "The small amount of language in the
film that's responsible for the R rating is there because it's real.
It's what the children who are victims of bullying face on most days.
All of our supporters see that, and we're grateful for the support
we've received across the board. I know the kids will come, so it's up
to the theaters to let them in."

It will be up to movie theaters to decide whether or not to let minors see it.

I've reposted the Bully trailer, AFTER THE JUMP..
