Jason Bateman is so funny at being an A-hole. Makes one wonder if he is really like this in real life...LOL....he does it so flawlessly. If you don't have a sense of humor...I mean....a REAL sense of humor...don't bother watching this movie...it will offend you. For those who follow the "sticks and stones" way of life...this movie is a lot of fun. After all....they are only words..they won't beat you up...just make you cringe a bit....in a fun way. Hilarious movie!!!
