Bad Teacher (2011) 6/10

Starring : Cameron Diaz, Lucy Punch, Jason Segel, Justin Timberlake
Director : Jake Kasdan
Running Time : 89 mins

Unorthodox school teacher Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz) wants nothing more than to marry her meal-ticket and then quit her hateful job, so she sets her sights on new teacher Scott Delacorte (Timberlake) - whose family come from money - but find herself faced with competition from fellow school teacher Amy Squirrel (Punch), as well as having to deal with the persistent advances of gym teacher Russell Gettis (Segal).

This could have been better, but was still reasonably entertaining. Diaz manages to play the terrible teacher perfectly, and the rest of the cast were pretty good, but there could have been a lot more put in to focussing on the school children, a few of whom are left with no real closure to their storylines.
