A sharp-scripted, American comedy starring Cameron Diaz as an unruly school teacher, whose blatant disregard for her students, is matched only by her determination to find a rich husband.
Diaz plays Elizabeth Halsey, a primary school teacher, who has to return to teaching after her plans of marrying a rich man fall through. Now though, her plan is to raise enough money, using all the illicit tricks in her repertoire, to have breast enlargement surgery, which, she hopes, will snag her a sugar daddy.
Also starring Jason Segel as the comedic, pot smoking gym teacher, who takes a fancy to Elizabeth, and Justin Timberlake as the goodie-two-shoes substitute, whose cash and ignorance make him a perfect target for our bad teacher.
A very funny film in places, the script is witty, pointed, and very adult. Diaz is a revelation in this movie, moving away from her angelic image, and providing us with a demonic portrayal of this awful character. Her performance is very funny, and so is Segel’s and Timberlake’s, whose on-screen rivalry has some laughs.
A film to watch if you enjoy funny one-liners, a light-hearted story, and a lot of unnecessary sexy bits.
