Big Bully Reviews

Big Bully makes you wish that Rick Moranis would simply say "NO" to starring in it. No really, it's that bad. This movie had earned Tom Arnold one of his 3 Worst Actor Razzies in 1996, further indications on how bad this movie is.

This badly typecasts Moranis as novel writer David Leary, who can't catch a break even when he lives in what was supposed to be a successful life after tattling on Arnold's bully character when they were children. Seriously, every bad thing that happens makes him a total butt monkey (if you go to TV Tropes often, you'll get what I'm saying). And David's son Ben is annoying and inconsiderate because his unseen mother was apparently a shrew who divorced David for no good reason (no really, that irks me!). Not helped by the fact that Mark Steven Johnson was stupid enough to make him the bully while the old bully's son is the nerd. WHYYY??? I hate the idea of the subplot. Let me suggest what should happen instead: have Roscoe's oldest son be the leader of a bully trio(?) that Ben befriends, and the nerd be the bully's younger brother, which puts Ben in a dilemma, making him human instead of a nuisance. And maybe throw in a girlfriend. I know it may sound cliché, but it would have made more sense.

Well, while we're at it, at least David can still get together with his old crush Victoria. But unfortunately, they had to part ways at the end of the movie due to David moving to New York. Way to kick the movie while it was down, MSJ! However, the final act would have to be the best part as it involves a lot of slapstick and suspense. This movie is almost as bad as The Wild Life. At least this got 1 laugh out of me. ONE LAUGH, and that was it. Avoid both of these movies like the plague!

My rating: 3/10
