Bad Teacher is an unfunny comedy that plays like an experiment by its creators to
see how intentionally unlikable a main character in a movie can be without
losing the audience. Unfortunately
the answer won’t be found in this film as Cameron Diaz’s
junior-high-school-teacher-who-just-doesn’t-give-a-fuck wears out her welcome
within the first ten minutes.
Hopefully the makers of Hollywood comedies will soon exhaust their need
to make films like this, which seem to serve no purpose other than to provide
enough “shock and ha” to be cut up into two and half minute trailers that make people
want to buy tickets -- and then regret that they did.
