Truly Dreadful Film

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is quite possibly one of the top ten worst movies I have ever seen. The acting, especially by the dad, is absolutely horrific. But my 7 & 11 year old thought it was good (not great). My wife and I cringed so many times that when I started counting after 30 minutes, I lost track by the end of the movie. I cannot believe the high reviews which is why we watched it in the first place. A very LOW budget film. The plot is bad. The acting is bad. The directing is bad. It really is bad. The message in the end, however, is good. And while the pieces fall together, I will add these things. But like I said, my youngest, who laughs when she farts said she thought it was good.

Indie films tend to be either high concept or character driven with lots of angst. It's so refreshing to see this indie film – a family comedy. And it's well executed.It's even more refreshing to see the serious subject of bullying tackled in a humorous yet satisfying way. The story line is clever… and the whole movie works.It's well shot and well acted. The parents do a terrific job, and the kids are infectious.How to Beat a Bully is a well-made movie that tackles a very real social problem… that has a good moral… and that's enjoyable and fun to watch!

Surprisingly fun film! Lots of clever lines and good surprises in this family film. The family in it is very likable - and seem like they could be a family on one of the TV comedy shows. The father, mother and young son all have a vulnerability that is charming and endearing. They seem real and believable. Moving to a new town is always challenging - and here we follow the family that gets into trouble - but in a different way than we've seen before. The father- son relationship is also quite good. It shows caring but not sappiness. When the boy gets attacked by bullies, it could be even stronger - but seems like they wanted to keep it lighthearted all the way through. It's unusual to see a comedy film that tries to end with a message about "stopping bullying" - but this one does it with funny twists and turns rather than making it shocking and sad. Overall, have to say many lines were laugh-out- loud, and the young actors did a really good job. For a small film with no name actors, everyone did commendable acting and made it work as a nice family comedy. Had the flavor of a "Home Alone" or "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Enjoyed it with the kids. Definitely laughed out loud in a number of places.

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!
