Bully

☆☆☆☆

+
Directed by Lee Hirsch, “ Bully” is the heart wrenching, and at times infuriating, documentary that examines America’s bullying epidemic.
This must-see-film tells the story of how five bullied students, their families, and their school administrators deal with this serious problem.
_
“Bully” falls short in it’s examination of the problem…we don’t get a chance to learn about the bullies themselves. Why do they bully? What are their family dynamics? How do they feel about what they are doing? Do they realize they are bullies?

Rated PG-13
1 hr. 34 min.

_

Jeff, Who Lives at Home

☆☆1/2

+
Writers and directors, Jay and Mark Duplass ("Cyrus") put together a solid cast and offer-up a few laughs in a story about Jeff (Jason Segel), who is 30 and still lives at home, his widowed mother Sharon (Susan Sarandon), and his estranged brother Pat (Ed Helms).
_
In spite of a cast that elevates the humor and storyline…when you put together a 30-year-old pot smoking loser, an unhappy marriage, a cheating wife, and two feuding brothers…it’s hard to find much to laugh about.

Rated R
1 hr. 23 min.
