Ugh....Hollywood Reverses the Good and Bad.....Again!

Rating: 1/10 (21 September 2018)

In Bad Teacher, Hollywood tries to convince us that what's good is bad and what's bad is good.
In fact, the protagonist - Camron Diaz - does everything that you teach your children NOT to do: sex appeal, sabotage, extortion and outfight cheating
We have a lazy, good-for-nothing English teacher - Cameron Diaz - who finally gets her act together when she wants money for....breast implants?
Then she goes about everything that only makes sense to Hollywood and angry teenagers. She runs a charity car wash with her big, wet boobs. Then she keeps the money for herself? Isn't that for the unrepentant evil-doer?
She also steals a state exam by using false identification and drugging a bureaucrat, which is how people get blasted by news headlines then go to jail.
The teacher we should root for - Lucy Punch - is - of course - the badguy. She wants to do well in every way. Her only drawback is this somewhat annoying eccentricity.
Here, the good teacher sees all the wrong doings of the Bad Teacher, and wants to right the wrong. But the bad teacher foils her evidence, so the good teacher gets the punishment by a proper demotion to an assignment from hell. That's only after getting a bad case of poison ivy (thanks Cameron) and a sound public humiliation.
What's also enraging is the writers could just as easily have made Cameron Diaz see the light and work sincerely towards her goals. And the actual good teacher helps her.
But no. Lets encourage low expectations, misplay and cheating.
I can really believe the conspiracy theories that Hollywood wants to corrupt our youth.
