Bad Teacher = Bad Movie. Cameron Diaz stars as a gold-digging superficial teacher who does whatever it takes to obtain coin for a boob job. The movie is over-acted with an unnecessary white trash style and prick-ish role for Cameron and unfunny attempts at humor. Skip it.
Cameron Diaz is likely not to blame for this aberration. Sure, she’s not known for Oscar level acting, but this takes her to a new low. Even Justin Timberlake is reduced to little-boy levels of role qualities. On the birght side, I did like Jason Segel, who although he was muted, at least appeared genuine. I also thought Lucy Punch was decent and actually had a funny role. Phyllis Smith (of ‘The Office’) pretty much had her same Office role.
The movie had a decent concept. The script writing was just so poor that there would have been no saving this film, even with an upgraded cast.
Regarding BrianSez’s Review
When the trailer first came out, I was hoping this might be a guilty pleasure. Guess not.
