Jason Bateman makes his feature directorial debut with the mean-spirited comedy Bad Words. In the movie, he stars as Guy Trilby, a deadbeat 40-year-old who finds a loophole in the bylaws of The Golden Quill Spelling Bee and decides to hijack the competition for reasons unknown -- much to the dismay of uppity contest officials, outraged parents and overachieving eighth graders.
Sadly for them, Guy is loud, crude and stubborn. Even worse, though, he can spell like nobody's business. We get our first glimpse of that in the opening sequence, as Guy dominates Regionals and absconds with the winning trophy, making his way to the first-ever televised Golden Quill Nationals (a recipe for disaster).
