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.
Nee, helaas is Bad Words nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
