My review · Reviewed 02/16/2024
Imagine if Bad Santa and Best in Show conceived a child, but the mother smoke and drank throughout the pregnancy. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bad Words. Bateman does his best Billy Bob imitation, but there is a problem: his character is bad but completely uninteresting. I managed to get through almost half of this movie before becoming disgusted with it. Such a waste of a fine cast.
