Bad Words

[Machine Translation] Can a true friendship develop between friends with a 30 year age difference? Popular comedy star Jason Bateman ("Spaceman Paul," "Mileage, My Life") makes his directorial debut with this buddy comedy between adults and children. The film is not only funny, but also full of details, such as the rude character of the main character like in "Bad Santa", and the way of depicting adults and boys (father and son) similar to "Real Steel" and "Big Fish". --The film is about Guy ( Jason Bate), a 40 year old boy who grew up in a single parent home and is still a problem child (?). Guy ( Jason Bateman ), who grew up in a single-parent home and is still a problem child at the age of 40, finds a loophole in the eligibility requirements for the National Spelling Bowl, a competition for the best children, and qualifies to compete in the competition. Upon arriving at the hotel reserved for contestants, Guy and Chaitanya (Rohan Chand), a 10-year-old boy he met on the flight to the venue who is a potential winner, go out into the night and play all sorts of pranks and games. Meanwhile, Jenny (Kathryn Hahn), a reporter covering Guy, learns that the reason he is entering the tournament is because of his father, who has been widowed, and that the tournament organizer, Dr. Bowman (Philip Baker Hall), is the man himself.... Jason Bateman, who has starred in a number of hit films and is rising in popularity, now directs and produces this ambitious film in addition to playing the lead role.
