In the film, Bateman stars as a vulgar adult competing in children’s spelling bees thanks to a bizarre loophole (he technically never passed the 8th grade). He soon comes to befriend an awkward little boy (Rohan Chand of “Homeland”) that he takes under his wing in albeit unconventional ways (think Billy Bob in “Bad Santa”).
“Bad Words” opens in select theaters on March 14 and expands across the country on March 21st and March 28th. Bateman will also be speaking at SXSW. More info here.
