Very funny, but feels a little rushed

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2011)

I went in to see Bad Teacher with fairly high expectations. The trailers were really good and I hoped the film would live up to them. Mostly, I'd say it did, although it was't quite what I'd expected.
Before I explain what I didn't like about the film, I'll start with what I did. Some of it is very funny and it's far better than some other recent comedies, such as The Dilemma, which has to be the worst comedy I've seen this year. Jason Segel was good in his role even though he doesn't have a whole lot of screen time.
Unfortunately, there were several scenes and lines that seemed out of place and some of the film felt kinda dis-jointed. The plot was pretty thin and the first half of movie was more like watching a series of loosely-linked scenes rather than a proper film.
That said, it's still pretty funny and I'd recommend it if you liked similar movies, but you're probably just best waiting for the DVD unless you really want to see the film, then go to the cinema.
I give Bad Teacher 8/10; I know it's being pretty generous considering what I've said about the film, although I'd much rather watch this again than the likes of The Dilemma or Hall Pass.
