Synopsis
Some teachers just don’t give an F. For example, there's Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She’s foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can’t wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she’s dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) – competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other.

Jake Kasdan Reunites With Bad Teacher Writers For New Sony Comedy

The comedy centers on two best friends (one of them a Supercuts manager, although why that detail is important enough to mention I do not know) who hit hard times after one talks the other into breaking off his impending marriage...and then falls for his buddy's new ex. Sounds pretty generic, so it'll all come down to casting and whether the script is solid...

Weekend Box Office - Pixar's First Flop Still Rocks The Box Office

If you have small children in your inner circle you've probably heard little other than squeals of anticipation over this weekend's arrival of Cars 2. Nevermind the dismissiveness that has been circling around what may be Pixar's first non-critical success, at the box office this latest release is still a hit....

Interview: Cameron Diaz Cuts Loose As The Star Of Bad Teacher

We talked to Diaz about the experience of going straight from Knight and Day to shooting this movie, working with a script that was ideal from the beginning, and her affection for the co-star she calls 'the uber-charming, incredibly seductive, 6-foot-5 man meat they call The Segel"...

Video Interview: Bad Teacher's Lucy Punch

Video Interview: Bad Teacher's Lucy Punch

They always say it's more fun to play the villain, but how does that work when the hero is a heavy-drinking, pot-smoking, sailor-level-cursing asshole? In the Jack Kasdan-directed Bad Teacher, Lucy Punch may have to play the character with a conscience, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get to have a lot of fun too....

This Rotten Week: Predicting Cars 2 And Bad Teacher Reviews

Happy Father's Day to all you poppas out there. In honor or of your big day, the summer movie season takes a week off from the wall-to-wall action, slows it down some with some laughs at our educational system's expense and revisits Lightening McQueen. So, in other words, not really much to get excited about. ...

Bad Teacher Gag Reel Shows A Vulgar Diaz And A Funny Segel

Bad Teacher Gag Reel Shows A Vulgar Diaz And A Funny Segel

Jason Segel’s next comedy outing coming in the form of the Cameron Diaz vehicle Bad Teacher, an R-rated comedy about a pretty middle-school teacher on the hunt for a new man who undoubtedly will see the err in her ways and be a changed woman by the end of it. That doesn’t sound all that exciting until you sprinkle on Segel’s genius comedic timing and Justin Timberlake’s....Timberlakiness...

Green Band Trailer For Bad Teacher Cuts The Vulgarity, Keeps The Funny

Green Band Trailer For Bad Teacher Cuts The Vulgarity, Keeps The Funny

When the first red trailer for Bad Teacher showed up online last month, it was hard to deny that 90% of the humor came from its extreme vulgarity. The film seems to be set up like Bad Santa, only instead of a mall and winter time it's an elementary school - and there's nothing wrong with that. ...

First Poster For Bad Teacher Has A Hangover

When the trailer for Bad Teacher came out last month, I was incredibly surprised. If the last 17 years have taught me anything it's that I rarely find Cameron Diaz to be funny, but there I was, sitting at my computer laughing at a trailer for a movie starring the same actress that starred in What Happens In Vegas and The Sweetest Thing....

Bad Teacher Trailer: Cameron Diaz Wants Justin Timberlake For His Money

There's a lot going on in the trailer, and it's hard to know if it'll all fit together in a coherent or actually funny movie. But with Jake Kasdan directing, his first film since the hilarious and terribly underrated Walk Hard, and The Office's Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg writing, there's reason for a little bit of blind faith....
