BAD TEACHER
2 out of 5 stars

man... elizabeth halsey is one baaaaaaaad teacher. she’s crass, a gold diggin’ whore, and probably the worst teacher whose ever graced the profession. (if we can even call her a teacher b/c she doesn’t really teach...) cameron diaz nails as the hottie elizabeth, but the rest of the movie....ehh, not so much. :/

so, the movie starts with teachers popping champagne, and they’re celebrating the end of the school year. as it turns out, elizabeth hasley (cameron diaz) is leaving john adams middle school for good (so she thinks) because she’s got a rock on her finger, and a brand spankin’ new mercedes ready to GTFO of this school. she HATES teaching, but comes back to it because her rich fiance dumps her after realizing that she’s nothing but a gold diggin’ whore... :P things are looking bleak for literally poor elizabeth, until scott the new substitute teacher arrives at JAMS. (justin timberlake- ugh... worst role yet!) she immediately sinks her claws into him, but he seems to like another teacher...amy squirrel. (that’s right...just like the animal. :P) she’s determined to win his heart AND his wallet, but maybe she’ll decide to go for funny gym teacher russell? (jason segel) sort of a rom com, so predict the obvious. ;)

this had potential to be great, but acting sucks all around esp. JT. pleeeeeease stick with the music! unless it’s a really funny role i.e. SNL. the character of amy squirrel was just annoying, and i thought this could have been way funnier. some moments were good esp. the principal and his obsession with dolphins and the use of the annie wig. question: was this made by the same ppl who gave us bad santa?! if so, WTF happened?! :/
