Bad Words Review. Fails To Deliver The Knockout Punch

Bad Words Review By: Matt Cummings The spelling bee from Hell comedy Bad Words is mostly fun, but fails to deliver the knockout punch. Actor Jason Bateman has made a fortune playing nice guys who get wrapped up in craziness - his newest release Bad Words sees him move to the director's chair to craft a crass and ugly spelling bee comedy that fails to hold our attention.
