Bad Teacher

Release Date: June 24, 2011
Studio: Columbia Pictures (Sony)
Director: Jake Kasdan
Screenwriter: Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg
Genre: Comedy
MPAA Rating: R (for sexual content, nudity, language and some drug use)
Website: AreYouaBadTeacher.com

Starring: Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch, John Michael Higgins, Jason Segel, Phyllis Smith, Thomas Lennon, Eric Stonestreet

Plot Summary: Some teachers just don't give an F. For example, there's Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She's foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can't wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she's dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) – competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other.

Pretty entertaining. Not great. But a good rental. Saw this instead of having to endure Cars 2 which I have zero desire to ever see.

I have to agree with Shane, it wasn't a great comedy but it wasn't bad either. There was just enough to keep this movie going. I actually thought it was funnier than Bridesmaids. Then again I thought Bridesmaids was terriblely overhyped.

Funny and I laughed out loud. Haven't seen Bridesmaids. As the latter looks like a chick flick. But love Cameron Diaz in anything it seems.

Saw it last night. I was thoroughly impressed. Really didn't think it would be funny at all, but I laughed my ass off.

Then again, I AM a teacher ... and, sadly, all those dorky people in the movie really resemble some jackass teacher in real life, lol!

Very funny movie. Loved Jason Segal. Cameron did a good job, too. I still don't like Timberlake as an actor. Every time I see him, I see Justin, not whatever character he's supposed to be.
