Bad Teacher


Anyone who has seen the previews for this movie, it is as funny as it looks. If you haven't seen previews for this movie, don't bother just go to your local theater and watch it.  Cameron Diaz stars as the "Bad Teacher" Elizabeth Halsey. At the beginning of the movie Elizabeth is ending her 1st and only year as a teacher and engaged to marry a very rich man. When the engagement is broken off she is forced to go back to her teaching job. As the school year begins, we are introduced to what is to be Elizabeth's posse whether she likes it or not. Her across the hall neighbor and arch nemesis throughout the movie "Amy Squirrel" is played by Lucy Punch. Justin Timberlake plays the mutual love interest of the ladies, Scott Delacorte - the son of a fashion mogul. The Office's Phyllis Smith and Jason Segel are great supportingRoles for the story.

The movie title implies she is not the most dedicated teacher, but she is super motivated by money. Ordinarily she is lazy but if there is money involved she snaps to action.  How could I almost forget the cast of characters playing minor supporting roles. The best of which is Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet like you never imagined him. Molly Shannon, John Michael Higgins and a hilarious cast of kids really helped make this movie what it is. The movie definitely seemed a little chaotic but out worked for what it was.

Bad Teacher is in theaters right now! Go!
