Guy Trilby (Jason Bateman), een 40-jarige man, ontdekt een fout in de toelatingsregels van de Nationale Spelwedstrijd en besluit hiervan misbruik te maken. Eenmaal toegelaten in de competitie domineert hij met gemak zijn tegenstanders omdat - natuurlijk - zij alleen uit kinderen bestaan. Naarmate de competitie vordert leert hij één van zijn tegenstanders, een Indische jongen, beter kennen. Terwijl zij langzaam goede vrienden beginnen te worden ontdekt een ambitieuze verslaggeefster de werkelijke reden waarom Guy aan de competitie meedoet.

    Good cast, but I really found the racism and the portrayal of child abuse as humour unsettling and unfunny.

    Not sure if this movie is funny enough to excuse it's casual racism, even though it thinks it pulls it off. Professor Indiana Jones calling a Chinese boy "Short Round" as a sobriquet is NOT the same as a nobody, spelling bee loser calling an Indian Boy "Slumdog" or, "Chai-Walla" or, a bunch more. Still, it's pretty funny if you can take a fucking joke. And it has a pinch of heart.

    A splentic 40-year-old man with unresolved paternal issues unleashes a fusillade of delectable invectives upon his bemused love interest, precocious elementary school children, their apoplectic parents, and the hapless administrators of a prestigious orthographic competition.
