Born to be bad


Bad Teacher (2011)

Directed by Jake Kasdan this comedy stars Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch and Jason Segel. A gold digging woman who does not care about her job as a teacher is dumped by her fiancée and has to raise the funds to get a boob job to ensnare another rich guy.

What I like about this film is that the protagonist is an unabashed arse hole which is something you rarely see films willing to go with. There are certainly funny moments through out the film with both Diaz and Punch giving good performances as the main adversaries in the piece. Where the film falls down is that the plot does not really have any depth and the protagonist never really has to face up to what are probably pretty series problems in her life involving drink and drugs.

3/5
