Starring: Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake and Jason Segel

Directed by: Jake Kasdan

Today I decided to see a movie. Was gonna go see “Super 8” but the movie changed the time schedules and “Super 8” was at a later time. So I ended up seeing “Bad Teacher” instead. For shopping, I did pick up a few things. I did pick up the new “Duke Nukem: Forever” game and picked up the “Feast for Crows” (the fourth novel of “Game of Thrones” series).

Here is my review for “Bad Teacher”…

Plot/synopsis: Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is a poor Chicago area teacher who curses at her students, drinks heavily, and takes copious amounts of drugs. She plans to marry her wealthy fiance, but when he dumps her, she tries to win over substitute teacher Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake), who is also wealthy. Their colleague Amy Squirrell (Lucy Punch) is also pursuing Scott, while the school’s gym teacher Russell Gettis (Jason Segel) is making advances on Elizabeth.^[3]

Halsey minimizes work and maximizes financial gain by filling her lessons with showing videos, cheating to win a prize, and for that purpose drugging the man in charge of the state test to steal the test questions, having sex with him and taking photographs of that, and through blackmail getting away with it all.

Well, I guess you can say that this is the first bad movie I’ve seen of 2011. Yes, it was bad. It was a piece of shit. I didn’t even sit through the whole movie. I walked out of it toward the end. Yes, the movie was that boring. Was trying to stay awake throughout most of it, and I didn’t burst out laughing once. The writing was bad, the acting was bad as well. It’s just not a good movie.

Cameron Diaz is 38, almost in her 40’s now. She’s too old for the hot girl thing, in my opinion. She was hot in her younger years, I admired her back then, but she is pretty unflattering in this movie. I don’t know why everyone is praising this movie. Even Justin Timberlake and Jason Segel couldn’t save it. Justin Timberlake needs to go back to music and golfing where he belongs. He’s not a good actor even though he is trying. He belongs in the music business that he’s known for, he’s not an actor.

Just don’t see this one and wait for DVD. I wish I had my 7 dollars back after seeing this piece of shit.

Score for “Bad Teacher” = * (1 star as in “poor’)
