Bad Teacher (2011)

92 min, comedy

Director: Jake Kasdan
Writers: Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg
Stars: Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake

Storyline:
A comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague -- a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.

Review:
I will never understand why do they label a movie as comedy and then you can't find anything funny about you. That is how I see "Bad teacher". It's barely an OK movie, and that's about it. You can watch it, but if you're interrupted half way through the film you may not come back to see it till the end. The story is shit,  while a lot of the movie makes no sense. For example, what kind of a teacher would give a kid her bra just to make him cool; or what kind a school would hire a teacher like Miss Halsey. And the actors!? Could be better. Cameron Diaz is really good as the "bitch" teacher, but not funny or likable, Justin Timberlake could have been better, while Jason Segel should have had a bigger role. So if you have absolutely nothing else to do watch it. And even then find something else to do.
