Cinema Review: Bad Teacher

Cameron Diaz is Elisabeth Halsey, a bad teacher, a very bad teacher. There is nothing else really important about the plot of this movie.

Almost a decade ago we had “Bad Santa” with a similar title and a similar premise (a very bad Santa). I wonder if it means that we are seeing the start of a franchise with an eventual “Bad Priest” or “Bad Doctor” waiting for us down the line. I shudder at the idea.

Anyway the movie in itself is not that bad, it suffers from a scarcity of really funny moments but the concept in itself is solid enough.

Cameron Diaz really goes all in with her performance and, really, if you find the idea of her smoking pot funny go and see it. Sadly the rest of the characters are undeveloped with a Jason Segel appearance totally wasted.
