Watch The Green Band Trailer For ‘Bad Words’

Briefly: The red-band trailer for the Jason Bateman directed Bad Words hit theatres a few weeks back (check it out here), and the film instantly became one of my most anticipated comedies of the year.

The chemistry and antics of Bateman’s Guy and 8th grader Chaitanya are fantastic, and is something that I could easily watch for the length of a feature film. A family-friendly(ish, unlike the movie itself) green-band trailer for the film has just hit the web; it’s got a bunch of new footage in tow, and it’s just as hilarious as the last preview.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be checking out Bad Words when it releases on March 28th!

Jason Bateman makes his directorial debut with the subversive comedy, BAD WORDS.

 

Bateman stars as Guy Trilby, a 40-year old who finds a loophole in the rules of the National Quill 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 attempts to discover his true motivation, Guy finds himself forging an unlikely alliance with a competitor: awkward 10-year old Chaitanya (Rohan Chand of ‘Homeland’), who is completely unfazed by Guy’s take-no-prisoners approach to life.

 

The movie also stars Alison Janney, Kathryn Hahn and Phillip Baker Hall.
