3/10
It's NOT about bullies.

Warning: Spoilers
Clearly, the film's makers realized in post that the two cranky, fat twins, ostensibly the "bullies", got off scot free while the little black girl and the older brother's girlfriend did not fare so well, and so they added a bit of text explaining that they don't condone bullying and then some boilerplate about the horrors of bullying that we've all seen before in the silly, hypersensitive, woke culture that America has become.

The girls and the bullying , such as it was (I suspect that young actor had quite a hard on when the twins were pinning him to the ground), were ancillary to the story and could hardly be taken seriously. For some reason, a number of reviewers seem to think their behavior was what the movie was about. It wasn't. Also, when did Dan Hedaya get the worst plastic surgery this side of Renee Zellweger, and when did his already-atrocious acting become exponentially worse? His was about as bad as the older brother's performance.

There was a lot going wrong with this film, and the ending didn't help matters. Pretty bad flick.
