Review of Bad Words (2013) by Phillip G — 13 Oct 2014
Child exploitation is unacceptable. There is no moral compass at play here when you have an eight-year-old child saying the F-word like it's a common, acceptable word. VERY poor judgement on the part of the cast, writers, director, producers, and crew. Basically, everyone who was involved in this movie, including the offended children's parents, should be ashamed of themselves. I guess greed really does have no moral boundaries. Bad Words could have been very good, but it fails miserably in light of of the darkness of allowing children to experience, first-hand, adult-oriented material.
This is what Jason Bateman's character gleefully does in this flick:
1) He uses sexual profanity with kids.
2) He teaches the boy tons of "bad words.".
3) He teaches the boy how to steal.
4) He teaches the boy how to get drunk.
5) He buys the boy sex magazines.
6) He talks to the boy in a vulgar way about sex and women.
7) He hires a prostitute for the boy.
8) He abuses kids with sadistic mind games.
9) He takes the boy from his school and takes him on a reckless joyride.
It is ALL entirely unacceptable, and all involved should pray very hard about their standings as an upright and decent human being.
