BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2011 and directed by Jake Kasdan, "Bad Teacher" is a dramedy about a slothful, inept middle school teacher in Illinois (Cameron Diaz) who hates her work, her pupils and her colleagues. She has no choice but to return to teaching after losing her sugar daddy and aspires to the lofty goal of getting breast implants. Lucy Punch plays her winsome rival while Justin Timberlake appears as a wealthy eligible teacher. Jason Segel plays the gym teacher who's interested in her while Phyllis Smith appears as her aged, overweight teacher pal. Do you remember the bad teacher at your school? Every school has at least one, usually more. I found "Bad Teacher" amusing from beginning to end and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny. It helps that the characters are all well-defined & cast and that the story is absorbing. The soundtrack features some quality snippets by the likes of Judas Priest ("You've God Another Thing Coming" & "The Ripper"), Whitesnake ("Still of the Night") and Dio ("Rainbow in the Dark").NOTE: I saw the censored version, not the unrated one, which is likely gross. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour & 32 minutes and was shot in Southern Cal (Los Angeles & Santa Clarita) with exterior shots done in Illinois (Springfield & Lawndale). WRITERS: Gene Stupnitsky & Lee Eisenberg. ADDITIONAL CAST: John Michael Higgins is on hand as the principle and Thomas Lennon as a school official. GRADE: B+

Bekx82 If I could give this movie 0 stars, I would. I rented this in hopes that all the reviews I've heard and read were true. Unfortunately, I didn't find this movie the least bit funny. In fact, the outtakes and gag reel were the funniest thing about this movie. During those, I actually laughed. I'm not a fan of Cameron Diaz, but this was, by far, one of her worst movies. The acting was subpar and the storyline was just atrocious.

Carey T. Coleman Comedies exist for a reason, TO LAUGH. this comedy is gut-bursting funny.I feel as a graduate student in higher education, this is a welcome break from serious cerebral humour and other such pretension. I adored Diaz and Timberlake because they were having fun, they got to let lose and have a role that fits like a normal person. Or a normal, slacker person.The word play and various satirical remarks on society and education various habits of teenagers are pretty funny. What gets me most about this is that the laugh factor doesn't go away at all. It's a cult classic I think for anyone who teaches or is in higher education as a living to laugh off what so few people actually do.The thing is movie ratings exist for a reason, if people have issues with drug use and vulgarity you don't have to watch it, this movie had a set audience and has a lot of redeeming moments despite the cynicism in the film. It's realistic and funny. It is supposed to be cheerful even through the cynicism.

thornethomas707 I don't get what people's problem with this movie is. It's a Black Comedy Meaning the humour will be darker then most comedies. The movies name is Bad Teacher For God Sakes! I knew when watching this movie for the first time it was going to be vulgar but that's okay because I'm 23 and I'm of age!Anyways, Cameron Diaz was Hilarious! She played the best I don't care about anything or Anyone kinda woman ever! She was a total obnoxious nightmare. She played it perfectly and I loved it! It was so funny, the whole movie was just so ridiculous and crude! Overall I think it was a great movie and I think the whole point of the movie was to make everyone cry with laughter, I think they accomplished that! It was Hilarious and I personally love movies that don't take themselves to seriously, They make for great times!
