Product Description

As any kid who's ever forcibly shot milk through their nasal passages can testify, the key to a great gross joke isn't so much the content as it is the delivery. The proudly crass Bad Teacher certainly has great big gobs of greasy, grimy potential, chief among them its central performance by an exceedingly game Cameron Diaz, but it occasionally fails to nail the dismount. This film from director Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) is exactly what the title says: after getting dumped by her rich boyfriend, a lying, cheating, and perpetually boozing middle-school teacher (Diaz) hatches a scheme to con her school out of enough money to pay for cosmetic surgery, while squaring off against the aggressively cheerful teacher across the hall (a very funny Lucy Punch). Lessons are not learned, thankfully. Although the title and attitude recall the effortlessly filthy Bad Santa, Bad Teacher feels more like a spiritual sequel to Diaz's earlier Sweetest Thing, a women-can-be-gross-too comedy that spent more time congratulating itself on how far it was willing to go instead of actually going there. While Bad Teacher certainly has its number of belly laughs and worthy outrages (particularly during a hilariously awkward love scene between Diaz and a nerded-up Justin Timberlake), it's hard not to end up with a general feeling of missed opportunities. Too often, it toes the bad-taste line, when it should be jumping over it with a rocket cycle. --Andrew Wright

1.0 out of 5 stars
Bad is right,
This review is from: Bad Teacher (Unrated) Bilingual (DVD)
This movie is terrible. Cameron Diaz has made better films. Don't waste your money! Bad Teacher is predictable and not really that funny.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Alright funny,
This review is from: Bad Teacher (Unrated, Blu-Ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray)
I felt like the whole concept of Bad Teacher was stupid. However, I did laugh at parts. This has more of a stupid humor. The story line wasn't very good at all. This is only worth a rental and not a purchase! I just felt like the whole movie was off for some reason, that the characters and story was just there for the sake of being there with no real purpose. I don't really know who to describe it. It almost seemed by the end of the movie nothing was really achieved and we're at the beginning again. Overall, two stars for at least keeping me semi interested with barely decent humor.

Better than Bridesmaids,
By
This review is from: Bad Teacher (Unrated) Bilingual [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This is a great movie to watch because it is better than Bridesmaids. That movie made me laugh all the time even if this movie makes me think of Tom Green doing future American Pie movies.
