Hilarious submitted by JKrygier on July 6, 2014, 10:51am Jason Bateman is funnier than ever!

Funny submitted by llwalsh on July 10, 2014, 7:04pm The friendship developed between Bateman's character and a contestant is hilarious. I found the ending quite predictable, but if you're looking for dark, crass humor, this is a sure bet.

Not for kids submitted by Zekicmom on August 5, 2014, 11:04pm This movie took me all over the place. I laughed out load, I winced at some of the main characters actions, and I was a bit shocked at times. I enjoyed the film, but could not imagine how they got all the talented child actors needed. I have to wonder how hard it was for their parents to sign off on their participation. Jason Bateman and the supporting cast are great.

Buddy Movie submitted by monkk on August 31, 2014, 10:50pm I had never heard of this film but when it was suggested to me, Jason Bateman being one of my favorite actors, I decided to watch it. Yes, it's a movie about kids that is not for kids, but the kid actor plays excellently against Bateman. Hope to see him in the future.

loved it! submitted by manz on July 1, 2015, 9:33am I loved this film! So funny! And about a spelling bee. Jason Bateman is hilarious! I loved his potty mouth and the relationship he forms with the young boy.

hilarious submitted by Jackie77 on August 9, 2015, 11:11am Hilariou!! Jason will stop at nothing to win the spelling bee. Great chemistry between him and the Indian boy. Must watch this one.
