Review – Spellbound (2002)

How sad the lives of spelling bee geeks. This is yet another entry in the recent trend of documentaries about the somewhat odd personalities who attach themselves to competitive brain games (Scrabble, crosswords, spelling and the like). It’s interesting. There just isn’t all that much to it. Find a nest of dysfunctional folks and point a video camera at them. Throw in some annoying harmonica music, add titles and call it done. Mildly amusing
