The word "bad" may be in the title, but Bad Teacher is anything but!

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2011)

It may have the word "bad" in its title, but this film is anything but. Within the first few minutes, I was laughing and I practically didn't stop the whole time. As is with some of the great R-rated comedies of the last few years (i.e. The Hangover and Knocked Up), this movie features some of the funniest writing.. making for a very raunchy but hilarious good time! I'm a pretty big fan of Cameron Diaz, anyway, so it's always fun to see her do something she hasn't really done before... and playing the foul-mouthed, junior high teacher Elizabeth Halsey was just a great casting job! While the storyline is a pretty shallow one and you won't find any moral lesson here, it is still just about everything you could wish for in a comedy. It centers around Ms. Halsey whose engagement was just broken off on the terms that she is a "gold digger." As she begins to work her charm on the new substitute teacher, though, she finds herself going head-to-head with one of the school's most well-loved teachers, Amy Squirrel.
The main cast is rounded out by the hilarious Lucy Punch, Justin Timberlake and Jason Segal, as well as a great supporting cast that includes Phyllis Smith, John Michael Higgins, Eric Stonestreet and Molly Shannon. You could not ask for a funnier ensemble! It may not have any values, but if you're looking to have some laughs and a great time at the movies.. you'll definitely want to check this movie out!
