Bad Teacher Not That bad, But Bad

Rating: Null/10 (25 October 2011)

I went into watching "Bad Teacher" thinking I would hate it. I did not hate it, so it gets a gold star thanks to my low expectations! Cameron Diaz is perfect for the role, she is a good comedic actress. The rest of the cast was adequate, some a little too slapstick at times.
A lot of what Cameron Diaz says in the movie is profane and should make a lot of people laugh. I personally laughed twice, the laugh ratio will be different person to person, for example: a person I watched it with was pushed to tears by the car wash scene. The laughs are there, whether or not they find you is up to your own sense of humor. You may want to dumb it down a bit.
As a movie though, it lacks a good story. It is a funny simple plot basis, funny concept, but the execution is wonky. I never felt like the character had any kind of arc, which would be fine, except she starts making decisions and the ending acts like she actually did have an arc. Everything that happens plot-wise is predictable, you're not going to really be thrown any surprises, but loosen up and just veg out and you might find the same two laughs that I did.
