Review of Bad Teacher (2011) by Lukechristiansc — 14 Nov 2015

It's not perfect but a mucky fun comedy, it's cheesy but overall Diaz shines exceedingly well as this mean-spirited gold digger and the supporting cast is comedy gold also equally funny. After her fiancee breaks up with Elizabeth (played by Cameron Diaz) who's a gold digger, who returns to teach at the middle school.

She's a mean spirited,reckless, selfish pothead who's awful at her job (I'm surprised they didn't fire her) who doesn't pay attention to her colleagues or students, lets her students watch movies. The sweet teacher Amy Squirrel (Lucy Punch) who's right across from Elizabeth, who doesn't like Elizabeth and questions her and her teaching styles.

When Elizabeth sees a substitute teacher Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), she discovers he's rich and she tries to get with him, she learns that he likes woman who have big breasts and she tries to get silicone-implants.

She wants a raise 10,000.00 for the surgery, what she learns is that the teacher with the best scores in the state exam who gets the 5,700.00 bonus. She changes her attitude and actually teaches the kids something.

She tries to get the answers for the state test and makes her students prepare for the test. Amy gets suspicious and tries to get proof that Elizabeth is cheating. Timberlake was good and brings so much sweetness, like ability into his character that it's charming and Punch is so elegant and sweet as well.

Jason Segel is really funny, maybe the best character in this film.
