bad comedy

Rating: 2/10 (5 March 2014)

"Bad teacher" is a movie about a teacher, Elizabeth Halsey, who's lazy, rude and bad in teaching. Her only goal is to find a rich husband and settle for life. So when she meets Scott, a cheerful but rich teacher, she does everything to make him notice her, even though he seems more interested in her enemy, Amy Squirrel. As Elizabeth plots her way into getting the bonus by her class's exam scores, she is being attracted by the school's gym teacher Russell. The film is a very bad comedy, with rough humor and predictable plot. The end especially seems rushed, as if the film was forced to end. There are some boring parts too. Lucy Punch is very good playing the cheerful but neurotic teacher, and Justin Timberlake is great too, but Cameron Diaz seems out of place, trying hard to act as the "bad girl". All in all, a bad comedy that doesn't entertain or keep the interest till the end.
