Starring Jason Bateman, 'Bad Words' tells the story of a 40 year high school dropout who, by finding a loophole in spelling bee contests, competes against high schoolers as a sort of revenge for his missed childhood.
The jokes are funny but few and far between, and the entire movie relies a little to heavily on Bateman.
Although the humor of 'Bad Words' is reminiscent of a lighter version of 'Bad Santa'...and along the lines of what I would consider funny, this film did not keep me entertained. Jokes aside, the interaction between characters is weak and any non-Bateman related scene were lame.
I love me some Jason Bateman, and you can clearly see his humor stamped throughout the film, but the story is thin and unfortunately- despite positive reviews, I can only recommend this movie as a weekend comedy filler.
