Guy Trilby is a forty year old man who had dropped out of eight grade. Through a loophole, he enters the National Quill Spelling Bee. Guy offers no explanation for joining the spelling bee, and continues against the wishes of several parents. Ten year old Chaitanya Chopra befriends Guy during the spelling bee tournament.
This film was directed by Jason Bateman. The story for this film is as unbelievable as it is plausible. Guy remains the most unlikable character mainly because of his selfishness and rude behavior. However, his character is counteracted by the adorable ten year old Chopra. Through there friendship comes the warmth the film needed. The film is not side splitting funny. The film does have its humorous moments that stem from the unexpected behavior of the main character. The dark humor kind of tears at the film's heart which keeps it from being overly familiar, and often makes it feel more like a drama. This definitely isn't a family film. Jason Bateman played the role of Guy Trilby. He creates the most despicable character possible with a very small heart. Rohan Chand played the role of Chaitanya Chopra. He takes the annoying child role and turns it upside down. The minor annoyance of the character is coupled with his unexpected behavior to offer support to Bateman's character.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a good comedy film that masks the heart of it. However, without any opportunity to view much softness from the leading character the film leaves a distaste that many will not enjoy.
