Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
It had been a long time since I watched this movie, and I finally got to refresh my memory. I loved this movie ever since I was a kid, and it's still funny. Moranis and Arnold were perfect together. When David Leary was a kid, he was constantly bullied by Ross Bigger (Fang) When David and his family moves away, he tells the police that Ross stole a moon rock. Years later, David and his son return to town and David becomes the new creative writing teacher. He finds out that Ross is also a teacher at the same school and continues to bully him again. David soon realizes that he must stop running and face his demon once and for all. I highly recommend BIG BULLY!!!
I like this film. Not that the plot, acting, script, etc. would worry any kind of awards ceremony on a bad year because they are pretty awful. It's just that the film is watchable at 2am when you need to be bored to sleep by a sappy American movie. That's all I can say about it.The plot is so transparent and formulaic that a five-year-old could have told you the ending, and has more holes than fine lace. The acting is notably bad on all counts. When the established leads get upstaged by an unknown 10 year-old you have to worry. Rick Moranis plays his usual weedy character and Tom Arnold plays his childhood bully. Not challenging parts and this shows; they aren't even trying.I, like many others, was bullied at school and found the story interesting in that it showed both sides but the cheezy(TM) subplot involving their children was forced and let down the one saving grace.All in all, I give this film 2/5. Watchable but certainly not worth missing anything else for.
this was absolutely my LEAST favourite movie in the history of time. it went NO WHERE, with the most annoying actors. most bad movies always have their minor good parts, not this one. the only reason i watched the entire movie was to see if it was going to have a pleasant ending. it was HORRIBLE. pure crap. :)Liz
This movie was one of the worst i have seen. It was on at 4 AM and i had a choice of watching Pappy Drewit's PappyLand or Big Bully. Frankly after watching Tom Arnold bully then chase Rick Moranis with various items and his no talent acting, I wish I would have chosen PappyLand.
