Bad Teacher
Director: Jake Kasdan
Writer: Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg
She is foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate teacher Elizabeth Halsey played by Cameron Diaz in “Bad Teacher.” She drinks, she gets high, and she can't wait to marry her sugar daddy, and get out of her bogus teaching job. When she's dumped by her fiancé, she was forced to go back to her day job. Mrs. Halsey sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute Scott Delacorte played by Justin Timberlake. Halsey finds herself competing for Delacorte’s affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy played by Lucy Punch. Along with fighting for affection Halsey is fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher Russel Gettis played by Jason Segel. Halsey had a huge fascination about big boobs. She found out that the teachers could earn a bonus if their students scored the highest on their state test at the end of the year. Halsey goes through all these schemes by manipulating, lying and stealing to make sure she got the bonus to earn money she needed for her new boob job.
Even though “Bad Teacher” wasn’t favored by many, it was a still a laugh out loud comedy. The highly used sarcasm through out the movie is what made the film hilarious. Most students would love to have a teacher like Mrs. Halsey. Constantly showing movies in class, no homework, cussing at the students, smokes weed, and basically getting away with anything are the kinds of teachers as children we use to dream about in Junior High. Always praying every year that next years teacher was going to be cool, laid back, and didn’t give too much homework, but that wasn’t always the case. Majority of the time junior high was packed with non-stop homework, useless quizzes, female teachers who were bitches or male teachers who thought they were shit cause they coached the junior high football team. Hasley had all the teacher beats in the fashion department. Everyday she came to school with her six inch heels, tight mini dress some days or tight fitting pants the next. She made all the other teachers outfits look like they were dressing up for church.

“Bad Teacher” wasn’t an Oscar winning movie but it definitely gave the viewer and audiences a good giggle and a good laugh.
