    Amazing!

    by jmathieu2

    Thought this movie was hilarious. Not a great plot line...but it worked. I'm a teacher myself so each character was relatable to someone I work with at school. Lots of funny lines...I was laughing the majority of the movie. I would not take anyone under 16 to see it - lots of cursing as well as sexual and drug references. Overall, loved it!

    Cameron Diaz is scraping the bottom of the barrel here

    by pachamama67

    I was stuck watching this drivel on a plane and was appalled by it. I like Cameron Diaz, and I guess there just aren't enough good parts in Hollywood but this film was crap. The main character was a selfish gold-digger who was trying to teach kids to get a bonus so she could get a boob job. Really? We're supposed to want her to have a happy ending? Give me a break. I was rooting for her arch enemy to finish her off.

    Would Not Recommend......

    by careyG2movies

    This certainly isn't a movie that I would add to my list of - "Enjoyed". The writers took a few of their attempts at being amusing a little too far and it just spoiled any possibility of good humor. There were very few truly amusing scenes but, this wasn't worth my Saturday evening. I am a Justin Timberlake fan as a musician but, did not like his character in this film.

    A guy next to me came in with his 2 daughters. This movie is NOT appropriate for kids at all.

    Bad Teacher is a worthy successor to the benchmark black comedy "Bad Santa"...

    Philadelphia Inquirer | Steven Rea

    A raunchy comedy that's funnier to think about than to watch.

    Broader than Bad Santa and less consistently funny, it's still gleefully rude,...

    Ms. Diaz has found her down-and-dirty element in the kind of broad comedy that...
