Academy Award nominated epics such as True Grit, The King’s Speech, The Fighter and 127 Hours, as well as some other truly fantastic films, like Blue Valentine and Animal Kingdom graced the silver screen. Up until now, everything was going so well. There had not been a true stinker in sight. That is, until Bad Teacher was released. What promised to be a fun, satirical romp is, in reality, a piss poor comedy that over relays on clichés and curse words to gain its laughs.

But above all, …
This movie looks hilarious. Kinda reminds me how I'd be if I was a teacher. Definitely gonna see this. But first... DARK OF THE MOON!!
Cameron Diaz has gotten older and this movie didn't seem vaguely funny to me. I understand some people like her but maybe its cuz i don't like blondes but this movie is a pass for me.
