Review of Bad Teacher

Bad Teacher (2011)
HIGHLY underrated!

So, this movie was released in theaters around the same time as Bridesmaids. ALL anyone could talk about was "Omg Bridesmaids is amazing! Bridesmaids, Bridesmaids, Bridesmaids!" So, I ventured to the theater and bought a ticket for Bridesmaids. It was funny, but not incredibly so. Kristen Wiig is one of my favorites but I found her character lackluster and felt she could have done it better. ANYWAY, later, I decided to go see Bad Teacher out of complete boredom. I didn't know what to expect, I wasn't a Cameron Diaz or Justin Timberlake fan. Actually, I only really was excited to see Phyllis from The Office.

This movie was hilarious! Oh my gosh, how could I ever dislike Cameron Diaz? My view completely changed about her! She doesn't hold back, she delivers and has perfect comedic timing and brings insane positive energy to the movie. If it wasn't for Cameron, this movie may have been so-so. I say this because her character is very unlikable and shallow and rude on paper. Cameron brings charm to this character and doesn't necessarily make her likable, but just makes her hilarious! So funny!

The other actors are great as well, especially the woman who plays Mrs. Squirrel!

Go see it! Ignore the bad reviews! Decide for yourself!
