One of the more underrated comedies of the year.

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2011)

"Your jeans feel so good against my jeans."
I had heard some pretty mixed things about Bad Teacher so I decided to wait and give it a rental instead of watching it at the theater, but it turns out I was a bit over-cautious. This is a pretty funny movie, and the best Cameron Diaz role since There's Something About Mary.
Diaz plays Elizabeth, a shallow, materialistic, rude, manipulative teacher at a middle school whose only real current goal in life is to buy a pair of fake boobs and land a rich husband to take care of her the rest of her life. A young, rich substitute teacher ignites a rivalry between Elizabeth and another teacher, while at the same time Elizabeth does anything and everything in order to procure the $10,000 she needs to get her "essential procedure".
Bad Teacher isn't really the kind of comedy that has a lot of laugh-out-loud moments (except one particularly funny scene involving dry-humping), and it's full of characters that have very few redeeming qualities. But I found it amusing throughout, its mean-spiritedness set it apart from a lot of the other comedies I've seen this year, and Diaz really did do a great job as the foul-mouthed, totally selfish main character. I liked it.
