Watched this for the first time and it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be but it still wasn't bad I didn't really laugh out loud but I was kind of laughing on the inside Cameron Diaz as Elizabeth was really good she pulled off her character this gold-digging teacher who seemed to learn that money isn't everything in the end the whole movie she was raising money for breast implants which she didn't even end up getting there was also this gym teacher who kept going after her while she was trying to sink her claws into this other teacher who she knew was rich but after she realized money wasn't that important her and this gym teacher got together which was played by Jason Segel now that's another great actor very talented the whole movie she acted like he was beneath her just because he taught gym then she chose love over money which was a good choice and ended up as a guidance counselor at the school which I thought was cool but before that she was lying and cheating to get her way she cheated on the test of the students by getting the answers illegally to win a $5700 bonus that was the worst thing she did but before that she supervised a car wash that was meant to be for charity and took it for her breast implants another pretty bad thing too anyway if you're a fan of comedies or Cameron Diaz I say check it out I give it a 6/10.

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!

Bad Teacher is an aimless misfire of a comedy with few laughs, little plot and a cast of undefined and uninteresting characters. It's the kind of movie that you watch with bored disinterest as you wait for something interesting to develop and eventually find yourself laughing at something just to break the tension.And yet, nestled in this unholy dreck is a performance by Cameron Diaz that I admit made me smile. Diaz has always been the sunniest of performers, a happy-go-lucky beauty with a smile that's as warm and pleasing as a spring day. But more than that, she's a fearless comedienne in a way that many of her contemporaries are not. I always admire actors who aren't afraid to look like a jerk.In Bad Teacher she plays the jerk role for all it's worth. She plays Elizabeth Halsey, a shameless gold digger whose goal in life is to marry a bozo millionaire who will keep her in the lap of luxury for the rest of her days. She supplements her waiting period by working as a high school English teacher and, as the movie opens, is leaving the job to marry her fiancé. Unfortunately he – and his mother – break off the engagement, which means she has to return to the school and start all over again.What to do? She figures that the best way to land a man is to beef up her assets – a boob job! But she needs the cash, so she reluctantly returns to her teaching job where she will work until she gets the money. What follows is – or rather should be – just an exercise in bad behavior. She's got plenty of that, including getting through her classes by putting on inspirational teacher movies like Stand and Deliver, Dangerous Minds and eventually The Faculty while taking a nap at the desk.A clever plot element kicks in later that the most valuable and dedicated teacher will get an award at the end of the year which comes with a cash bonus. Ha-HA! Just the solution she needs. With that Liz throws herself into her job, and becomes strict and extremely demanding which trying to get her class through "To Kill a Mockingbird." That scene has some energy, but it goes nowhere. The whole movie is like that. Diaz is game, but the movie gives her nothing to work with.The supporting characters are all underwritten. The school principal (John Michael Higgins) is an aimless clown. The love interest (Justin Timberlake) is a clueless dolt. The happy-go-lucky rival teacher (Lucy Punch) is annoying. Diaz's brother (Noah Munck) is a coward. And the students are hardly in the movie at all. Notice that these characters are played by some really talented comedians, but they have nothing to do.There's a pointless love triangle in which Liz catches the eye of the Timberlake character while the gym teacher (Jason Segal) seems perfect for her. The Timberlake character is as dull as desert sand. Segal is really kind of charming here but he isn't given nearly enough to do. The movie presents scenes that seem to come out of nowhere and have no payoff. Abruptly a scene pops up with Diaz and Timberlake dry-humping while on a class fieldtrip. There is not set-up so you wonder if there was a scene that was cut out leading up to it. The point of the scene is to get Timberlake to break up with his girlfriend, but it's so poorly written that we just don't care. Watching the scene, you wonder if it wasn't originally written as a sex scene but then re-written to get a PG-13 rating.Watching the movie, I thought of Bad Santa and The Bad News Bears – for obvious reasons. Both of those movies work a lot better than Bad Teacher. What they have that this movie doesn't is a world that seems to feed their badness. The problem here is that the bad teacher is interesting but she wades in a world that is soft, dull and uninteresting.

(27%) Any movie that gets made with a script that clearly needs more than a few complete re-writes is never going to get a pass grade, not from me anyway. The plot is quite frankly utterly broken. We have a teacher who really despises her job, so why did she become one in the first place? You need to train/study to become a teacher and pass exams, things in which the lead character would clearly have no desire to go through. And if she has lost all passion for her work then why doesn't she just quit? What is keeping her in this job she hates so much? The plot in itself doesn't work either as the lead wants a boob job to attract the attentions of a nerdy, goody-goody Justin Timberlake (a man that quite clearly does not have a big boob preference, or at least never mentions it, so why is it even required?) who has fallen for the main rival of the movie (a very annoying Lucy Punch) but the fact is that they are both at least compatible with each other rather than Diaz's character who takes most of the movie to realise that he's clearly not the right man for her. What is it with comedies staring Cameron Diaz ("What happens in Vegas" springs to mind) that have such dire, poorly constructed plot-lines? The movie is just about entertaining enough to be just about watchable, but its poor script kills this turkey from the off.
