Bad Teacher

Overview:  Cameron Diaz is a bad teacher... Honestly that's basically it.

The Good:  This is for all of you people who think teachers are a pocket full of sunshine, because apparently some of them can be a pocket full of evil.  There is always that fear a person gets that all the funny parts in the movie trailer are the only funny parts in the movie, luckily it wasn't the case with this one; happily enough all the funny moments in the trailer weren't even in the same context we all thought they would be.  Who'da thunk that Cameron Diaz could bring such raunchy smiles to our faces, as it turns out she is hilarious, and I was wrong about thinking she was the worst actress of all time. The rest of the cast was amazing as well, including ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, who goes from being his normal suave self to being one of the most awkward characters out there!  Can't say anything wrong about Jason Segel, that man IS a pocket full of sunshine.  For those of you who, like C, had to hold your tongues when talking to students or fellow teachers, this movie is a very cathartic experience.

The Bad:  For those people out there who are idealistic about the public education system, you will take strong offense to this film, because Cameron Diaz pretty much smacks you in the face... but like those "sour patch kids" candies, after the sour play she is sweet (ish) and lovely in the end.  This movie is also very abundant in awkward moments, so fairly be thee warned says I.

The Ugly:  Must see this movie... except if you are a child, because not only will you never want to go to school again, but your views of your teacher will also drop to an all time low.  This film is definitely for the teachers out there, who enjoy a good chuckle about their jobs, and who have always wanted to tell off a student or a faculty member.
