Twisted comedy of a man seeking revenge via a children's spelling bee contest
Bad Words is an extremely smart and funny comedy about a children’s spelling bee contest of all things. It featured Jason Bateman as Guy Trilby a grown man who applies for the spelling bee because he’s an angry, cynical jerk who wants revenge. In his own words he threw a tantrum to get attention. Kathryn Hahn plays Jenny Widgeon a struggling reporter who is trying to make a news story out of Bateman. The one that really steals the show however is Rohan Chand the kid who poses the biggest challenge to Batman in the spelling bee but also becomes his friend with an ulterior motive.<br /><br />The tone of the film is set right from the beginning as Bateman takes a seat at a regional spelling bee when the kid next to him asks what he was doing there and called him a freak. Bateman replies that he heard the kid’s chair calling for help because the kid was so fat. The officials then pull Bateman and try to expel him, but he quotes the rules and regulations that anyone who has not passed the 8th grade is eligible and that makes him a contestant. The credits come next as Bateman has won the contest and runs out of the hall with the trophy as all the angry parents chase after him wanting to kill him. It’s that sense of humor that drives the entire film.<br /><br />Overall the gags are usually intelligent and twisted. Despite the huge difference in age Bateman and Chand form a real odd couple. You have to see Bateman going up against all these kids in the bee. There’s also a twist at the end that adds a human element and explanation for Bateman’s antics. This was Bateman’s directorial debut and he did a great job.<br />C

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Jason Bateman makes his feature directorial debut with the subversive comedy, Bad Words. Bateman stars as Guy Trilby, a 40-year-old who finds a loophole in the rules of The Golden Quill national spelling bee and decides to cause trouble by hijacking the competition. Contest officials, outraged parents, and overly ambitious 8th graders are no match for Guy, as he ruthlessly crushes their dreams of victory and fame. As a reporter (Kathryn Hahn) attempts to discover his true motivation, Guy finds himself forging an unlikely alliance with a competitor: awkward 10-year-old Chaitanya (Rohan Chand), who is completely unfazed by Guy's take-no-prisoners approach to life. Critics rave, Bad Words is "the funniest, smartest, most entertaining comedy in a long time!" (Pete Hammond, Movieline).
