Cameron Diaz as the Bad Teacher

Cameron Diaz’s new movie, Bad Teacher should actually be titled Crazy Teacher. Diaz did an awesome job of creating a more human appeal to teachers. Though they seem to know everything and could do no wrong, teachers have to deal with pretty much the same “rubbish” the rest of us deal with as well and Diaz’s new movie clearly depicts that. Elizabeth Halsey, the character Diaz plays is rather typical, there are women like Elizabeth all over…women who are desperate, funny and with an awful temper but we rarely find them in the classroom. The twist however is that Elizabeth doesn’t censor herself and probably unaware of the proper decorum for teachers. She somewhat appears like the older sister a lot of us grew up having…no matter how gorgeous and smart, she’s just mean to the core. The movie reunites Diaz with former beau, Justin Timberlake, also starring are Jason Segal of How I Met Your Mother and Lucy Punch.
