When her wealthy fiancé breaks it off, gold digger Elizabeth Halsey returns to middle school: she's an awful teacher but wants to save for breast-implant surgery. She brightens when Scott, a new teacher, turns out to be rich, and she stops showing films and sleeping in class when told there's a bonus for the teacher whose class scores highest on the state exam. Her competition for Scott and the bonus is cheery and tightly wound Amy. Amy digs for dirt on Elizabeth who cheats her way toward Scott's bed and the money. Honesty with students seems to be her only skill. She ignores Russell, a droll gym teacher, who looks on. Will she succeed with Scott and get those new breasts? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
I've just seen this movie and I feel like it's one of the worst I've seen in a while. The writing is terrible, the whole idea of the movie is just silly and it has no substance if you think about it. It should end in like 10 minutes but a ridiculous amount of details and unnecessary events are being integrated into the flick. This movie is supposed to be funny because it's regarded as a comedy but there isn't a single scene that brought a smile to my face. The only attempts were those typical tainted tendencies of American humor ( I don't want to offend anyone here but it's the truth ): sex jokes, swearing, that ain't funny folks.
I feel like I've wasted one hour and a half of my life by watching this but I don't want to complain. The only reason I kept watching till the end was for Cameron Diaz because she's a good actress but this movie just wasn't for her in my honest opinion.
My advice is not to waste time on watching it but if you're really bored or want to give it a chance because of Diaz you can but be aware, it isn't a joyful ride.
