It had a few good laughs!

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2011)

A solid six out of ten. Bad Teacher has a few good laughs. Many of the jokes are inside teaching jokes. Spending a few years in the teaching program I noticed the movie portrays many of the teaching stereotypes. The know it all backstabbing, perfectionist teacher, the principal who does not want to deal with all the backstabbing little people games, weirdo intellectuals, overachieving students, over emotional students etc. I get a laugh out of how the movie plays these stereotypes with, drugs, black mail, theft etc and turns the system on its head. Funny movie which shows how much of the profession is full of crap meetings, fakeness, phoney teacher statements etc, which I happened to notice my self. The movie is no Caddy Shack or Happy Gilmore, but worth watching.
