Review of Bad Teacher (2011) by Paul S — 05 Jul 2014

I don't like Cameron Diaz at the best of times, so I'm clearly going to dislike a film in which she plays an incredibly unlikeable character.

She is the bad teacher of the title, coasting through her job (which she hates) and blaming all her shortcomings on an innocent, hard working and honest colleague... And we're supposed to be rooting for this shallow wench? In what backwards society exactly???

Perhaps it wouldn't have been so bad if all the other characters weren't cunts, but they are.

This film was about as funny as root canal treatment. I can't help but think that Bad Actress would have been a more apt title.
