Some GOOD news regarding the ''Bully'' documentary


'Bully' Rating: Weinstein Company Documentary To Be Released As Unrated After MPAA Fight

One way for The Weinstein Company to get around that pesky R-rating the Motion Picture Association of America ratings board slapped on "Bully"? Release the new film without any rating.

"Bully" will arrive in theaters on Friday with the unusual moniker of "unrated." That means the theater owners themselves will have the choice of screening the film or not.

"The kids and families in this film are true heroes, and we believe theater owners everywhere will step up and do what's right for the benefit of all of the children out there who have been bullied or may have otherwise become bullies themselves. We're working to do everything we can to make this film available to as many parents, teachers and students across the country," Stephen Bruno, TWC President of Marketing, said in a statement.

"Bully" is out in theaters on Friday in New York and Los Angeles.
