Bad Teacher was released during a week of prequels and sequels of other movies, so it
was natural that we checked it out. The preview was vigorously funny, so that brought us to
the theatre in the first place.

I thought it was very interesting that Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake were in
the same movie because they used to date a while back. It's nice, since this just shows that
people who have dated in the past could still come together and make a movie!

I don't think Bad Teacher was being built to win awards - just a form of reliable,
fool-proof entertainment. There really isn't a real plot or purpose to it, other than laughing
at some dirty jokes, looking at some fake cleavage, combined with some funny little antics.
If you're looking for boobs, bongs and bad teachers - that is how you can sum up this movie.
I suppose the preview felt funnier.

For entertainment purposes, I enjoyed it.

Bad Teacher stars a narcissistic schoolteacher who seems to do as much as she can to
get her way, in most situations. She breaks a few laws in the process, then becomes
entangled in a love triangle with Timberlake's character (most obviously), and a rival who
gets scripted into absence to give Diaz more space to play, as if she hasn't been on the
screen long enough already.

Seems that this film was like Coyote Ugly for the religiously devoted - the romance
and the lust were not literally shown at all, culminating into a conservatively silly (but
mandatory in these flicks) minute or so in bed.

Frankly, I wanted to see something similar to School of Rock, where the character
played by Jack Black shares some inspiring moments with his class. Some of these students
could've become stars of their own (like a couple in School of Rock), but the focus in
Bad Teacher is on Diaz; the students she faces don't develop enough to be a part
of the movie. Appearing here, it seems, won't help a youngster's acting career.

When they say "the plot thickens", this movie has a consistency of a watery slurry - our
title character seems to grow superficially much of the time, and most of the humour comes
from swearing. During the previews to this movie we got to see a glimpse of Justin Timberlake's
other summer fling, Friends with Benefits alongside Mila Kunis, so it looks like he's
acting as a regular hobby now.

I call it the "Kia Sorento" of movies. It's useful to a point. It's an excuse for the stars
to star, it's an excuse for us to remember these people, and then you lose the plot.
