Dry Spell. Jason Bateman rigs a bee in Bad Words

摘要

A 40-year-old competing in a spelling bee for kids? Guy Trilby (Jason Bateman) is interning in that milieu. And like a kamikaze on a luge, he has a promiscuous knack for creating a fracas among his young rivals. In one vignette after another, this insouciant spoliator applies reverse psychiatry on his opponents until they suffer traumatic eczema and require therapy in a sanitarium. (The words in italics are those aced by winners of the National Spelling Bee since it began in 1925.)
