Highly Overrated But Still Good

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's sunday and this typically a good film to stick on, a light, no brainier, easy watching, predictable comedy

Cameron Diaz SUCKS! I would have been more entertained shooting at GI Joe dolls with a pellet gun! It's a BAD movie, featuring an unloved actress nobody cares about, it made way too much money and produced NO laughter for the viewer whatsoever. Aren't bad teachers supposed to take their kid's virginity? How about she organize an orgy with them and make videos on the side? OR Steven Seagall shows up and kicks her ass? This chick is so obsessed with gold digging, she makes some of my escort "pals" I've dated look like angels by comparison! The whole teacher rivalry subplot was childish and lame. The scene of her smoking pot in the car.... YEAH, SO? We have GAY MARRIAGE now and MEDICINAL MARIJUANA, how is it these twits in Hollywood are still demonizing pot? What happens when you allow chimpanzees to write your stories for you? Bad Teacher!

Bad teacher is a hilarious modern comedy about a teacher who does nothing, and is looking to raise money for a fake boob job. Lynn in this movie was the best part!! She was friggin hilarious. Her and Cameron together was priceless! Two very talented comedic actresses. Justin Timberlake also did a pretty good job with his role. Jason Segal's character didn't really become important until a little later into the movie, but I thought he did a good job with his material. And lastly, mrs. Squirrel, that actress did a GREAT job with her character, I really enjoyed her. This movie does have it's flaws, but I feel like most off them are overshadowed by the movies overall energy and fun nature. So if you haven't already check out bad teacher, it's lots of fun!

(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.
