Bad Teacher

Cameron Diaz has found her down-and-dirty element in Bad Teacher, a broad comedy that threatens to get ugly and more or less succeeds on that threat.

Bad Teacher (2011) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.

Foul-mouthed school teacher Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz) sets her sights on a well-heeled new instructor (Timberlake) and concocts a scheme to win him over, though he has eyes for her more popular colleague (Punch).

Directed by Jake Kasdan. With Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch. A lazy, incompetent middle school teacher who hates her job, her students, and her co-workers is forced to return to teaching to make enough money for breast implants after her wealthy fiancé dumps her.

Bad Teacher is a 2011 American comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan based on a screenplay by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch and Jason Segel. The film was released in the United States and Canada on June 24, 2011.

'Bad Teacher' immediately brings 'Bad Santa' to mind and suffers by the comparison. Its bad person is neither bad enough or likable enough. The transgressions of Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) are more or less what you'd expect, but what's surprising is that she's so nasty and unpleasant. Billy Bob Thornton, as the Bad Santa, was more outrageously offensive and yet more redeemed by his desperation. He was bad for urgent reasons. Elizabeth seems bad merely as a greedy lifestyle choice.

Cameron Diaz goes all out for laughs as an uninterested schoolmarm hoping to get a rich husband, but with only middling results

Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz star in Jake Kasdan's raunchy comedy.
