Bad Teacher (6/10)

Raise your hand if you've seen "Bad Santa". That movie is so fucking hilarious and at the same time kind of deeply touching that it's fantastic. I'd figured this would be something similar, but it wasn't. While Billy Bob Thornton went all out in "Bad Santa", Cameron Diaz only scratches the surface here. I don't blame her, she's a fine actress I'm sure she could have pulled it of. I thinks it's the people behind the camera. They created characters that just seem way too odd. They tried for the fun awkward and weird laughs, but just make some things eye roll worthy. Cameron Diaz of course plays the title character, somebody looking to be a trophy wife. She smokes, drinks and curses with an angry expression enough that the people in the film label her an outcast. I never thought once that they lived that thought up to the fullest. I wanted Diaz to be cursing to high heavens and hoped up on drugs all day every day. Thornton made it awesome. Diaz's character does the bare minimum though her. The trailer showed about as vulgar as she gets So while it isn't bad and easy to watch, why not do the best you can.

6/10
Recommendation: Wait for it on cable or dvd, it will better serve it's purpose there.
