Review: Bad Teacher

The problem with Bad Teacher is it just isn't funny, with no real jokes to speak of throughout its 90 minutes of screen time. Instead the film just seems to rely on the premise that Cameron Diaz swearing is funny to try and get its laughs from the audience. Unsurprisingly this weak attempt fails.

Jason Segel pops up at random points to set up the predictable happy ending, but the writers seem to have forgotten to get Diaz to do anything vaguely redeeming to get to that point - I'm not sure her character framing an innocent teacher whose boyfriend she tried to steal is quite the 'journey' the makers seem to think it is.

Bad Teacher certainly lives up to the first part of its title - this is one of the worst films I have seen in a while.
