Bad Words: Bad, with Words

This movie tries to capitalize on Jason Bateman's "fame". Bateman is funny, but this is not one of those occasions. The film tries to be funny by making Bateman's character, an angry "genius" who finds a by-law (DODGEBALL style) to get him into the National Spelling Bee. He's a complete dick, uses bad language, and does "funny" things to other contestants. It's a real stretch and tries wayyyy too hard to be funny, or anything. I was hoping for much more, but it's really just trying to use really bad language in inappropriate situations. It would be like watching a dude swear during a church service for an hour. Bottom Line: 4.1 out of 10. Avoid, it's just not worth your time.
