Did you ever have that one teacher that was so horrible that you will  never ever forget them? Well, this will be one of those movies that you never forget or forgive yourself for wasting time and money to see. It’s just like that bad teacher you hate to remember, but for some reason they just won’t leave your memories alone!

The premise of the film is that Cameron Diaz’s character is a teacher who doesn’t care a whit about her students or her job. Her only goal in life is to marry someone wealthy. In order to do this she plots and schemes to win the man of her dreams.

This film was filled with unnecessary language that I’m assuming was supposed to make the film more appealing comically, while in reality all it did was make me shake my head and sigh. I just kept thinking of how harsh of a review I gave Green Lantern and at the time I would have given anything to be in the theater next door watching that instead of the horse manure that Bad Teacher flung at me.

The only redeeming quality about this movie was Jason Segel’s character. Segel actually delivered his lines well and was mildly funny, whereas Diaz and Timberlake were just awkward and pathetic.

Bad Teacher was a bad, bad movie and I give it a big fat D! Please if you want to see a movie and your options are between Bad Teacher and Green Lantern, then see Green Lantern! Or better yet save your money and wait for something better to come to theaters (or buy yourself something pretty).

Grade: D

John’s take…

Who spends money on a Cameron Diaz movie?
