No, not Hitch.

This is a doc about kids competing in the National Spelling Bee. It follows a widely varied group of kids as they fight and claw their way to the national finals.

Truly, a fun documentary rife with emotional struggles, heartfelt pain, very funny obsessively goofy parents and geeky kids and their amazing 5 hour a day practice dedication, all to try to spell words like "Panegyrist" or "Pibroch".

Extremely entertaining.
