Bad Teacher


This movie was good. It was OK. I think I could watch it again, but I don't think it would be in the closest hours anyway.

The movie is about a bad teacher... surprised? But it starts of with her quitting her job... Don't know why they had her to quit first since the scene after that she goes back to the school anyway... That was kind of pointless. They could have just cut to when the boyfriend breaks up with her. Oh well! She comes home after quiting her job as a teacher and her boyfriend says he wants to break up with her because it feels like she's only in it for the money... and yes she is! The rest of the movie is like her getting someone with money to like her because she wants a man to provide for her. So she thinks that getting bigger boobs is going to help her get a man... Ok... Anyway! So she's trying so hard to get the money for a boobjob to get a man... And that's what the movie is about! Oh! And she's competing with a coworker about this man and that bit is actually kind of funny.

The characters were great, every character was well developed, except for the kids. The maincharacter was great, it's Cameron Diaz and I always love her in every movie she's in, that's the reason I wanted to see it. And I think she takes a lot of charm to this movie. Without her, I don't think it would've been as strong. But what do I know? It's good that we didn't experience Bad Teacher without her. The coworkers were great! The actors there were nice as well, they seemed to do a good job and I enjoyed watching them. Everytime you had an interesting character to look at and that was good! Let the characters speak because you're there to watch them! The kids however... It was the stereotypes all over to me so... yeah, that was a little boring. We had one scene where the teacher asked one student if she wanted to do well in school because she wanted it or because her parents wanted it. That's a good question! But... They don't do anything with it. They just let the teacher ask it and then it's done! Not gonna bring it up again! ... yay... So that was a little disappointing.

I liked the beginning of the movie that showed past teacher movies... or something like that. It was smart to begin it like that. The humor was great. It felt forced sometimes but it wasn't THAT forced that some movies can get. So that was great to see that a movie about a bad teacher can have some flow in their jokes. I don't see it that often. So that was uplifting.

And I don't really have much to say about it. The stuff that didn't work for me were the kids but other than that.... It was fine. Nothing spectacular, but nothing horrible either. It's just good.
