This film is documentary about a national spelling contest in The United States Of America [ USA ] And yes its a documentary. So its real.

I didn't think I would like it because I've never really watched a documentary about spelling or even a documentary in general. I was right , I didn't fully like this film.

My favourite character . . . STOP RIGHT THERE this is a documentary there is no characters ! Duh ! But my favourite person in this film was Harry because he was stuck on one word [ which I don't blame him ] and he was pulling faces like ' pulling his tongue ' and ' pulling his cheeks '.

I generally like this film. The camera shots were okay. The colour was just yellow and black. I hope you enjoyed my review.
