CNN reports:
But in the case of “Bully,” Weinstein isn’t just mounting a PR blitz — he’s fighting the good fight. The movie is a sensitive and eye-opening documentary about the epidemic of bullying in American public schools. It’s a film that would do well to be seen by as many teenagers as possible, and Weinstein had wanted to show it in schools. Yet “Bully” received an R rating, all because the F-word is used in it a handful of times. The Weinstein Co. has now decided to release “Bully” unrated. This doesn’t solve the problem, since some theaters refuse to show unrated movies. So the very audience that Bully was made for still might have a hard time getting near it.
