There's a whole lot of celebrity support behind the documentary "Bully" - stars and the film community have been pushing the MPAA to lower the rating from R to PG-13 so that those affected by bullying can actually view the movie in classrooms and theaters.

And on Tuesday night, the Weinstein Company's Harvey Weinstein hosted a star-studded screening of Lee Hirsch's documentary, followed by a cocktail party, at Manhattan's Paley Center for Media. Among those in attendance were Meryl Streep, Martha Stewart, Tiki Barber, Sami Gayle and Weinstein's wife, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman.

The film hits theaters March 30.
