A misanthropic man sets out to exact revenge on his estranged father, by finding a loophole and attempting to win the National Spelling Bee as an adult. Figuring it would destroy his father, and everything he's worked so hard for as head of the Spelling Bee Championship Organization, Guy Trilby eventually discovers winning isn't necessary for revenge, and that friendship is a blessing not a curse.

"Very funny ! And although some may not expect a film called Bad Words to also be heartfelt it had plenty of such moments! Great movie !! 😉 "

Alannah Rodriquez

"If parents ever need to be reminded that they are doing a good/relatively better job, this movie will help! Crude and entertaining, this showcase of Jason Bateman’s sass is more so an education on being an adult and less so on the children-friendly wonders of the spelling bee. "

"Jason Bateman lured us into this surprisingly good movie. Clever, sarcastic, funny and heartwarming. Feel good, yet a little raunchy. Definitely worth a watch. "
