Review of Bad Words (2013) by Everett J — 09 Apr 2014

Here's the first great R rated comedy of the year. The premise is simple and absurd. A 40 year old man(Jason Bateman, who directs) enters the nation spelling bee for 8th graders. Hence he says and does a lot of bad things to the parents and children who all object to him being in the competition.

Bateman is hilarious, and he plays the a**hole to a T here, with some awesome one liners. He starts a friendship with a little Indian kid(Rohan Chand) that provides the best scenes of the movie, just go and watch the trailer for a taste.

This movie will obviously offend some people, but if you know what offends you, then don't see a movie called "Bad Words". The title says it all! It lasts around 85 minutes which is absolutely perfect for a movie like this, because it never wears out it's welcome.

Great comedy, and hopefully Bateman continues to direct, because this is a great start. Check it out!
