Slow and Only Moderatley Funny (at Times).

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2011)

This movie has the feeling of being so simplistic it makes the plot of 30 Minutes or Less ( another recent comedy) look sophisticated. The story to sum it up in a few lines is Cameron Diaz must go back to being a teacher after her rich husband leaves her. The rest of the movie is her journey of being an awful person and trying to earn money for her boob job along the way.
Since this movie does more harm then good to itself I'll lay out what it does right up front. If you're a male attending this movie there's a good chance you'll find Cameron Diaz hot in this movie. In fact many shots go out of their way it feels to establish her great looks. She fits her character well because she also plays the role of a jerk well and the volatile combination is used to manipulate multiple characters through out the movie. Another strong suite of the movie is Jason Segal's character as the lazy underachieving gym teacher is always stealing scenes but remains a relatively underutilized. That pretty much describes all I felt was done right in this movie.
Now that we've moved onto what's not so good with this rather dull comedy , I'll begin by saying too many jokes fell flat and some scenes kill the pacing to make a relatively short movie feel much longer then it had to be. The story is very similar to Bad Santa except not nearly being as pleasant. The comedy seemed forced time and time again using many weed and alcohol jokes to push itself along. While the movie goes for the look of being a film with no morals at all I felt the comedy was constrained hardly utilizing the "R" rating it was given.
Overall it was at times fun , never hilarious and annoying quite a bit 5/10
