Bad Teacher (2011)
Poison Apple.
9 August 2011
Raunchy, disgusting, and stomach-churning mess has teacher Cameron Diaz doing seemingly anything and everything to be the worst teacher in the history of mankind in a junior high school. She is a superficial air-head who dreams of making just enough money for breast enhancement so she can get substitute teacher Justin Timberlake to notice her and ultimately marry him. It seems Timberlake's family has a fortune based on owning one of the world's most famous wristwatch companies (yawn). The antagonist here is fellow instructor Lucy Punch who seems more suited to a kindergarten class than a junior high school with sickening antics which seem to belittle and annoy everyone in sight. Also along for the ride is crude gym teacher Jason Segel who is not much of a better employee than Diaz and seems to have a crush on her. I guess it is true that birds of a feather will always flock together. "Bad Teacher" starts off fairly enough, but the routine drops off the cliff quickly. Basically there is about enough material for a five-minute "Saturday Night Live" sketch here and nothing more. As the minutes tick away, the misery becomes nearly unbearable. Arguably will be the worst film of 2011. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
