How To Beat A Bully
2014 • Feature Film • ReleasedComedy"It's always tough to be the new kid on the blocK." Such is true for 12 year old Cory, whose family moved from New Jersey to the sunny side of Elmhurst, California. When Cory makes his first trip to a new school, he's suddenly welcomed by a group of demeaning bullies who vow to make a thrill of their days at Cory's expense. After dreadful days of constant name calling, stolen lunches, and a series of humiliating events, Cory is forced to do the unthinkable...convince his bullies that his father, Joe, is a hit man for the Mob. At first no one believes him, but through a series of misunderstandings, the whole town thinks it's true. That's because his father is an Insurance Salesman who tells people they need “protection” and a “contract.” After that, the bullies become the boy’s BFF’s. They treat him with respect and he doles out favors like a little Godfather. Once word spreads across town, Joe accidentally finds himself crossing paths with real Mobsters. They think Joe is horning in on their turf, so they capture him. With the danger looming, fear spreading, and the neighborhood talking, Cory must rely on the help of his former bullies and find a way to save his Father.
