Jason Bateman Makes a Face on the Bad Words Poster

Focus Features has released the poster for Jason Bateman’s feature directorial debut, Bad Words. Check it out in the gallery viewer below!

Bateman stars as Guy Trilby, a 40-year-old who finds a loophole in the rules of The Golden Quill national spelling bee and decides to cause trouble by hijacking the competition. Contest officials, outraged parents, and overly ambitious 8th graders are no match for Guy, as he ruthlessly crushes their dreams of victory and fame. As a reporter (Kathryn Hahn) attempts to discover his true motivation, Guy finds himself forging an unlikely alliance with a competitor: awkward 10-year-old Chaitanya (Rohan Chand), who is completely unfazed by Guy?s take-no-prisoners approach to life.

Bad Words hits theaters in a limited release March 21 before expanding wide on March 28.
