Bad Teacher

I assumed this movie was going to piss me off. I am a qualified teacher with no teaching job, and there are thousands of us, and I figured that a movie about a person not appreciating having a coveted teaching job would make me mad. It actually didn't though. Cameron Diaz's character was so ridiculous that the whole thing was pretty unbelievable. It was also, however, entertaining. Bad Teacher has no moral and Diaz's character has little redeeming qualities, even at the end. Her character is just plain mean and barely likable. It's always interesting to see Justin Timberlake act, but he doesn't add much, and the random hook-up between Diaz and Jason Segel at the end is exactly that - random. What propels this movie is the sheer outrageousness of how Diaz's character acts, you kind of root for her to get caught, and I was actually happy when Ms. Squirrel gets JT. Bad Teacher is not necessarily a bad movie, like I said before, it's entertaining, but School of Rock did this genre waaay better.
