Spellbound.
Definition, please.
A documentary released in 2002 (yes, that long ago). It follows eight children as they vie to be the last cute kid standing (i.e. the last cute kid to screw up) in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Can you use it in a sentence, please?
Spellbound is funny, charming, touching, and suspenseful, though all those words are wholly inadequate because they're too damn easy to spell.
Can you use it in another sentence, please?
As the pool of competitors in Spellbound is whittled down from nine million to one, our sympathy for the vast, eclectic people of this nation (all linked by this odd manifestation of the American Dream) grows in inverse proportion.
Okay, one last definition. Please.
Spellbound. How I felt as I watched this documentary. Spellbound.
