Bad Teacher- Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake.
A film takes a big chance when the lead is a cad...it's alright to do bad things if the audience is on your side but if you're a douche, then you have two hours of unlikable people doing nasty things.
See where this is going?
I have no ax to grind over Cameron Diaz (she seems like a fun person to drink with) but her character in Bad Teacher is an entitled, cheating asshole and nothing she does leads me to believe there's a heart of gold buried beneath the surface.
Doesn't help that the writers didn't even make her a funny asshole.
I don't see much point in continuing...movie was boring and trite, no outrageous scenes worth mentioning, no reason to think too much about it.
