The movie was well, not bad. As I heard it summarized in passing conversation, it had some funny moments in search of a good story.
Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake both fell short of the high hopes many of us may place on them for these roles. JT is a total dork (pun not intended) and Diaz briefly pulls off expectations in the car wash and drug induced squalor. The teachers in the roles were relatively authentic and believable, but the story played out a bit unbelievable and shallow. Viewers will get some good steady laughs and ongoing humor, but not too much that is memorable. Some more improvisation would have been nice, such as Timberlake's roles on SNL, or the ladies in Bridesmaids.
With a consistent delivery of scripted lines and a tub of popcorn, i can deliver 3 out of 5 Cyclones for Bad Teacher. It won't make you wet your pants laughing, but it will make you laugh out loud in your dry seat.
