Bad Words (2013)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Jason Bateman
Cast: Jason Bateman, Kathryn Hahn, Rohand Chand
Running Time: 89 minutes

 


Guy Trilby is a very smart 40-year-old middle school dropout that uses a loophole in the Golden Quill Spelling Bee rulebook to enter the contest and compete against children, to the great dismay of organizers and the parents.

This is a wonderful dark comedy, the likes of which I am a big fan. So many of Jason Bateman’s dialogue made me laugh hard. And the antics made me chuckle. It got a little silly at times, but it was a lot of fun. Bateman was solid, both as director and main actor. And the supporting was good too.
