  Bully (2001) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
Bully is nonetheless haunting in it’s cinema verity-style, directed by Larry Clark who gave us the controversial film Kids in 1995.
They’re merely teens in an environment where promiscuity and licentiousness is the norm and their desire to kill the title Bully in the film didn’t strike me as malevolent, so much as it struck me as stupid.
The bully in question is played by Nick Stahl (who suffered a similar fate in In The Bedroom) but in that film he was an absolute charmer.

 Christopher Smith : Week in Rewind.com The Ant Bully Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
For instance, the movie understands that for the most part, the average bully is a weak little miscreant whose fists and tough talk, when pressed into action by real intimidation, pack the punch of a feather.
It also knows that not all bullies are created equally and that some just need a little nudge to lift them to the higher level of human existence they resist.
The movie, which writer-director John A. Davis based on John Nickle's book, brings in the Queen (Meryl Streep), a towering, serene presence who looks and speaks as if she just stepped off the utopian mother ship.

Average Young kids may find The Ant Bully appealing, but nearly everyone else, including parents forced to sit through the movie, will understand the difference between a 'family film' and a 'children's film,' and why this picture belongs in the latter category.
Above Average Ant Bully, while not wildly fresh or inventive, is entertaining and energetic...Though the story is predictable, the message is benign, and the visuals, particularly in IMAX 3-D, are stylized and surreal.

Time passed slowly thereafter, but for the faithful, the wait was worth it: Bully -- the first of three films Clark's shot and cut in the last twelve months -- turns out to be everything Kids' admirers perspired over.
No more deserving of his fate than his killers are justified in their brutality (they're spurred to action by Marty's first love, a witless wallflower with a psychotic laugh named Lisa, played by Rachel Miner), Bobby ends up as the victim of the whole affair.
A sickening survey of gory videogames, acid-induced vomiting, and love-bruised girlflesh, Bully is nevertheless abundant in visual tendernesses; at times, one wonders if Clark might have been poring over prints of Techine's Wild Reeds or Bruno Dumont's Life of Jesus.

The animation of The Ant Bully makes good use of scale as Lucas grapples with the gigantic world around him, but the writing is not so imaginative; the name actors are thrown away on bland characters and lackluster dialogue.
Lucas (Zach Tyler), a boy small for his age, finds it difficult to live in his suburban neighborhood; a large bully leads a gang of kids around and Lucas is the frequent object of their atomic wedgies and dog piles.
Although I think it's the whole ANT BULLY package that had me feeling like a kid again, and for the first time in a long time, there was a movie that I remembered and thought about weeks later.

(The movie changes the mean kid's name to Steve, likely because in "Toy Story," the sociopathic preteen jerk next door was named Sid, so why invite comparisons?) Young Lucas then took out his frustrations on the local ant colony.
Zapped magically down to ant size, the boy in the beanie learned his lesson and was rewarded with a return to humandom.

There may not be a more reprehensible filmmaker working in the movie industry these days than Larry Clark.
Regardless of how you felt about his controversial 1995 debut, "Kids," there was something unappetizing, even skin-crawling, about the voyeuristic way in which Clark told his story.
From there, his skills have continued to erode, culminating with "Bully," one of the most lecherous excuses for a film ever made.
