Plot Summary
Some teachers just don't give an F. For example, there's Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She's foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can't wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she's dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) – competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A frustrating mix of smart flash and smirking impudence.
Fresh: There are plenty of quality gags seeping through from the margins.
Rotten: If you can see past the dismal sexual politics of "Bad Teacher," which I couldn't, you might applaud the gall of a film that expends so little effort in forcing us to like its central character.
Fresh: The film is fast and often funny. And while it's not for children - really - I bet the adults who just spent a school year with them are going to love it.
Customer Reviews
Worth your time...
I went to the theater this summer to watch this film. I was engaged the whole time and laughed quite a bit. This film is most definitely not for children or the prude at heart but I thought it was entertaining non the less. If you were going in to see this with the intention of a clean and non sexual expectation than you need to pay more attention to the trailer. After all even the plot summary will tell you that this movie is going to be a bit foul. If this comedy offends you than just stick to High School Musical and the television show Glee. Me, I would rather be entertained this way than see a bunch of teeny boppers on stage. And as for the Justin Timberlake issues... Put them in your back pocket. When you can do what he has done on film, television, and in the music business then I will value your opinion. Remember, envy is one of the 7 deadly sins.
WARNING!
Well, I have only two things to say: typical Cameron Diaz and I rather live in a world where Justin Timberlake is not an actor.
Very funny movie
Yes, there is a lot of sex reference in this movie but…so what ?!
Funny movie, even has some hilariously funny moments and I enjoyed it together with my wife.
I don't understand why people would feel offended by the "sex" in the movie, this is not a movie for kids.
