Bad Words

Goals.

Objectives.

Means.

The will to live.

Guy Trilby (Jason Bateman) must be crowned national spelling bee champion at age 40 in order for his unerring orthographical prowess to be forthrightly recognized, his youthful competitors and their parents somewhat infuriated by his choice, the drive to accelerate concocting regardless, asinine assiduity acrimoniously idealized, congruent considering, the rules of the game.

Friendship and romance are cumbersomely nuanced with playful degrees of sharp insouciant admissibility, jaded alcoholic weariness slowly transforming into infinitesimal merriment, as trashy transgressions legitimate their inclusivity.

Bad Words is a solid mix of pejorative eccentricity and misanthropic mirth.

The friendship between Guy and young Chaitanya Chopra (Rohan Chand) tenderly transitions the tempered tailspin.

Was going to use some of the challenging words from the film in this review but they're simply too much.

It's subtly hilarious when some of the irate parents can't hide how impressed they are with Guy.

Rollin' with the punches.

Spelt infinitesimal wrong while writing this out.

Loved the spelling bee antics.

Wonder if writer Andrew Dodge (great script), who at least justifies his use of the stubborn ass, ever saw the episode of Get a Life where Chris Peterson (Chris Elliott) discovers he's a genius after consuming toxic waste and then decides to win as many spelling bees as he can, episode 9, season 2, Chris' Brain Starts Working.
