Bad Words

cinema à la carte

"It's tough to summon sufficiently negative language to describe the unfunny, desperate mess that is Bad Words"  (* ½ out of four; rated R; opening Friday in select cities). USA TODAY film critic Claudia Puig Bateman plays a middle-aged eighth grade dropout who enters the National Golden Quill Spelling Bee through a loophole. USA critic Claudia Puig is a humorless twat; Bad Words is, at minimum, 3.5****.  It WILL make you laugh.  It will also (probably) make you wish that some of the language was toned down, but fukit; it's a joy overall.  Even MoSup liked it.  The biggest distraction I had was caused by Jason Bateman being Mark Turgeon's doppelganger.  Streams on HBO
