Bad Teacher | Vibepedia

Directed by [[jake-kasdan|Jake Kasdan]] and penned by [[lee-eisenberg|Lee Eisenberg]] and [[gene-stupnitsky|Gene Stupnitsky]], the movie stars [[cameron-diaz|Cameron Diaz]] as Elizabeth Halsey, a cynical, marijuana-loving, and utterly unmotivated middle school teacher. Her sole focus is landing a wealthy husband, a plan derailed when her fiancé dumps her. Forced to actually teach to fund her breast augmentation surgery, Halsey embarks on a series of increasingly outrageous schemes, including seducing a wealthy substitute teacher and competing with a perky, overachieving colleague for a cash prize. The film garnered $216 million globally against a $20 million budget, proving audiences were ready for a decidedly anti-heroic take on the classroom.
