There are few things that I enjoy as much as a trip to the local movie theater. Even when the flick itself isn't all that great, a few hours of escapism is one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday.
Alright, so Bad Teacher was funny as hell from start to finish. I was fairly surprised to see all the young kids that were sitting in the theater- like Middle School age or so. This movie is not appropriate either visually or in any other way for kids. Unfortunately, questionable parenting is a fixture of our society so we'll leave it at that.
A set of full, perky breasts filled the screen at one point- as it turns out, Cameron Diaz was visiting a doctor in this scene to consult with him about a boob job. The naked breasts belong to a woman the doctor has brought in as an example of his work.
Cameron Diaz reaches out and gropes the breasts in a 20 second scene that made me stop chewing my White Castle hamburgers and kind of sit there with my mouth hanging open. I can't really make any apologies here. Can anyone fault me that this is how I'm wired?
Having addressed one of the major scenes in this flick, as a former teacher I have to say that there's no way this woman would be able to hold on to her job. A false bottom in her desk drawer reveals alcohol and marijuana hidden inside.
Education- themed movies make up her curriculum such as those with Edward J. Olmos and Morgan Freeman. Most are also familiar with the one with Michelle Pfeiffer teaching some tough kids, the name of which espaces me since I don't care. It's entertaining as the movie goes on to see how far they push it- I think at one point she shows reruns of Saved By The Bell.
There are some truly hilarious moments in this movie and many of them ring true for teachers I could talk for hours about all the "coping mechanisms" both teachers and administration have in my experience, but that's a different article altogether.
In sum, don't go into this movie with a thin skin and expect not to be offended.
If you're entertained by hilarious dialogue that goes way too far sometimes as well as brilliant line delivery, this movie will not disappoint. I enjoyed the heck out of this movie. My wife and I both decided that when this comes out as an unrated Blu Ray, we're all over adding it to the collection. Bad Teacher was entertaining without pandering to traditional ideas of what a teacher should be.
