It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I have to say: this film really surprised me. Not sure why I even decided to watch it. And the FILM DELIVERS! I really love 'message' pictures that deliver without pounding the pulpit, and I love them even more when they get their message across with humor! Cleverly written; the story moves along without a hitch; the basic plot line is incredibly funny; the casting was really perfect; the performances are well done; kids will 'get' the jokes; plenty of humor for adults too.It's a pretty perfect little Indie flick. And if you're looking for family fair, this is an amazing candidate.
How To Beat A Bully hilarious and great for all ages! The writing is witty and extremely well done. The actors brought the lines to life and had great comedic timing.Although bullying can be a serious subject, this movie brings light to the situation while also making a huge impact. It presents a great message that comedy and humor can be found in any and all situations. I highly recommend this movie. It is especially great for the younger generation. The jokes are not limited to one specific age group and it's a good family movie. I watched this with my college roommates who thought it was extremely funny, relatable and insightful. I give this movie and 10/10. Well done!
The acting was bad and the lines were like that of kids (babies') cartoon (maybe worse). It was compared to "home alone" and the "sopranos" but doesn't really deserve to be mentioned with those movies. The plot seemed interesting and the film could have been better but the delivery was awful. That's what spoiled the film for me. It does touch on the theme of anti-bullying (as suggested) but that's about it. I don't think this film should be marketed to anyone over the age of 6 or 7. I was mislead into watching the film (thinking it would be good) because the reviews and the ratings. I would suggest ignoring them for this title. If you do want to watch this movie, don't go in with any expectations.
