Pure filth, I love it

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2014)

I think there are two main elements that keep this movie from having a decent rating. Firstly, it's incredibly silly. In my opinion the style totally suits the outlandish story, but occasionally even I needed a break from all the...well, basically from the Amy character. Lucy Punch plays her perfectly, she's so unbearable cheerful that you really can't wait for bad things to happen to her. If that sounds disturbing, well it's just the effect that the movie has on you. Because that was going to be my "secondly". It's a disturbing ride, you're forced to side with a character with no morals or conscience because it's just so entertaining to wonder what she's going to do next. If you don't mind either of these things, you'll find that there are a lot of laughs in this one. Particularly Justin Timberlake is fantastic in this (no, seriously), he's not the centre of attention but he should be damn it. His nonsensical "I hate slavery" speech is probably the highlight of the movie, though there's a lot of competition. "Bad Teacher" is one of those typical movies that get slammed upon release, but very slowly find a cult following afterwards (and rightfully so).
