Bad Teacher

dvd of the week

As I wrote in the spring, I laughed out loud several times while watching Bad Teacher. The younger men in the audience when I saw the movie were particularly enamored with the movie, especially when the issue of breasts was first and foremost. While Bad Teacher is a female-driven comedy, unlike Bridesmaids, it is not a depiction of a remotely realistic female; Cameron Diaz’s Elizabeth is a male fantasy, a hot and dirty, bawdy and easy cartoon. She’s like a Will Ferrell character in the body of a Victoria’s Secret model. Which is a pretty funny thing.
