Great Movie
Lessons is life
Bad Teacher is a wannabe amoral tale about Cameron Diaz playing a selfish character.
The Bad Teacher of the film who puts less than minimum effort, does not care about her students and is looking to marry a rich guy.
However when she gets dumped she returns to teaching to earn enough money to enlarge her boobs and get another rich guy to marry.
Of course despite Diaz doing her best we cannot care about such a character and end up sorry for her pupils who have to watch endless films on television during lessons.
Justin Timberlake turns up as a shallow nerd who is descended from a rich family but his character is just pointless.
Lucy Punch is the nemesis and provides spirited resistance to the bad teacher and be the foil but you know she will get beaten to the punch by the end of the film.
Jason Segel has a small role as a laconic gym teacher. The schoolchildren are the usual mix of geeks and cool kids but the film is a one note idea.
A few laughs, some sexy scenes such as Diaz washing cars save this from being a bad film. At least there is redemption with Diaz finding out she is better at counselling than teaching.
Cameron And Her Boob Job
Bad Teacher is a comedy about one who is precisely that and the title role is played by Cameron Diaz. She thinks she's through with teaching, but a bad breakup convinces her that she needs a little frontal enhancement to get the man of her dreams. But cosmetic surgery doesn't come cheap so it's back to work and at a teacher's salary it won't be easy. Remember her insurance won't cover it.
Diaz is the kind of teacher that you don't learn much from, but does give those junior high school boys a lot of wet and sleepless nights. But when she finds out that a $5700.00 bonus will come with a class that has the best scholastic achievement, it provides a powerful motive for her to actually teach and cut a few corners.
In the meantime Diaz has to deal with fellow teachers Justin Timberlake and Jason Segal who both thinks her measurements are just fine as they are. She also has to watch for Lucy Punch who plays a popular teacher looking to nail her in a scandal. Punch has some of the best moments in this film, she apparently modeled her character on the happy homemaker character Betty White created on the Mary Tyler Moore Show back in the day. Jillian Armenante best known for being on the Judging Amy Show a few years back plays Diaz's confidante among the teachers.
Bad Teacher was an interesting idea for a film that didn't quite make it. It has some good moments, but I never could develop a rooting interest as to whether Cameron gets her money for that boob enhancement. In fact males of junior high school and high school age will like Bad Teacher, but I think it will fall flat among adults.
