Bad Teacher Trailer: Cameron Diaz, Now in Red Band (Wince) (Shudder)

I kid, I kid. The trailer for Bad Teacher, in fact, looks spectacular, if you like foul-mouthed Cameron Diaz, and here she’s The Sweetest Thing to the third degree. If you never thought that Diaz was attractive, wait until you hear her reel off a string of profanities, pelt a kid in the head with a basketball, and express a heartfelt desire to sit on Justin Timberlake’s face. You may still not find her attractive, but you might find her endearingly foul-mouthed. Plus Justin Timberlake. Plus Phyllis. Two exclamation points.

Yes, it’s Bad Santa with a teacher. But who cares? Cameron Diaz is marginally more attractive than Billy Bob Thornton, plus Jake Kasdan directed it, and the man still has a lifetime pass for Zero Effect.

Bad Teacher arrives in theaters on June 24th. And now, you may have something to look forward to this summer besides a string of watered-down comic-book flicks, bro.

'Cameron Diaz is marginally more attractive than Billy Bob Thornton'
FART! Wrong! It's the other way round.

'Jake Kasdan directed it, and the man still has a lifetime pass for Zero Effect.'
DING! Correct! Love that film.

Also, 'reel off a string of profanities, pelt a kid in the head with a basketball, and express a heartfelt desire to s[h]it on Justin Timberlake’s face,' is just a Tuesday.

That made me laugh out loud. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'll see it fo' sho'.

She turned down Jason Segel?! (Even though they will obviously end up together by the end of the movie...)

This was better than I expected...

...but would be even better without CD.

How about casting against type?

Anne Hathaway

Carrie-Anne Moss

Um, I laughed at that. Like, at a bunch of it. I sort of totally want to see it. DAMMIT.

Great. Now all the damn conservatives are going to bitch even louder about how unions suck and teachers don't know how to teach and the public schools are a drain on our economy, blah blah blah. Way to make my job even harder, Cameron Diaz. Not only are you dating A-Rod, but you further fucked over my profession in the name of comedy. You are dead to me now, dead I say!

Also, SPOILER ALERT, io. Geezis.

This movie is targeted at what - 14 year old boys? How about a movie for adults that isn't The King's Speech?

Posted by: TheOtherGreg at February 23, 2011 9:48 AM

It looks spectacularly predictable but enjoyable anyway. Diaz could use a tit job in real life just so there's something to look at besides that weird face of hers. it's not entirely UN-attractive but it's just...weird.

Posted by: Paultera at February 23, 2011 10:02 AM

I'm totally going to see that. Like, yesterday.

Posted by: Mel C. at February 23, 2011 10:06 AM

@Anna von Beav: Yes, sorry, my mistake.

SPOILER ALERT: By the end of the movie, Cameron's character will also realize: how fulfilling being a good teacher is, how she is happy with her body as is and how one shouldn't date someone just because they have money. Have I left anything out? (It goes without saying that her kids will have the highest test scores... fear and physical abuse are damn good motivators.)

It's the mouth. The great big gaping chasm mouth. It's huge. Quick! Build a rope bridge from one end of the smile to the other.

Every time she smiles it looks like it's threatening to keep on expanding until it's swallowed everything up, including maths.

Posted by: zeke the pig at February 23, 2011 10:12 AM

This might just be an LSD flashback, but didn't Diaz used to sit on Timberlake's face in real life? If so, what a couple of pros.

Posted by: heatseeker at February 23, 2011 10:17 AM

Wow, this reeks of desperation. "Look at me, I'm still hot! I'm still funny and cool and awesome to hang around! I cuss at kids!"

This is the movie equivalent of the mid-30s woman dancing on top of a table at a club or making out with her girl friend to get the attention of guys more interested in the 22-year old "hotties" in the room.

As Craig Robinson so eloquently put it in Knocked Up, "Your old ass should know better."

Cameron Diaz + Jason Segel + The Black Keys = a movie I might actually pay money to see.

It's the mouth. The great big gaping chasm mouth. It's huge. Quick! Build a rope bridge from one end of the smile to the other.

So what would happen if you bred her with Chord Overstreet (aka that blonde new kid on Glee with the huge mouth that Santana routinely mocks)? I think that may be the mouth to hell - one that will swallow the world whole like Acathla in Buffy.

Christ, that sounds terrifying. Well, luckily we can rest in peace knowing that it'd never happ-...OH GOD:

Whatever, I have no problem with Cameron Diaz. She claimed to love porn on Kimmel's show last night, if that changes anyone's mind about her. Maybe she was kidding.

The trailer made this movie look kinda awesome, but I've been fooled by trailers before. Not this time, trailer, not this time. I shall wait for the Pajiba review before slapping down my hard-earned cash.

Posted by: Slash at February 23, 2011 10:42 AM

Fun! And Phyllis Vance, of Vance Refrigeration, is a great straight woman. Man. You know what I mean.

Posted by: figgy at February 23, 2011 10:51 AM

Phyllis has always been my favorite, figgy. The woman is comedy gold.

Posted by: becks at February 23, 2011 11:21 AM

I thought the "I love porn" comment was currying favor, whereas this looks fresh and funny & I'm glad that somebody realized CD can carry a film on her own without that jackass Ben Stiller or some other A-list male as the love interest. I've always thought she had way more potential than she was allowed to express.

Posted by: Anon at February 23, 2011 11:23 AM

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO you canNOT make me like Cameron Diaz, no way, no how. Not now, not ever.

Can't make me. Can't make me. CAN'T MAKE ME! Can't ...

aw shit

Posted by: , at February 23, 2011 11:30 AM

I love it! I'm soooooo there.

Posted by: Pookie at February 23, 2011 12:38 PM

I, for one, have always liked, nay crunched pretty heavily on CD. She's always looked like the kinda gal who'd fuck back, and then have beers with you after. Not like Paltrow, who'd just lie there. CD would spank you.

Posted by: Odnon. at February 23, 2011 12:47 PM

Wow, if you look at the movie "Mask" its amazing how badly shes aged.

Posted by: donna at February 23, 2011 12:57 PM

Yay, Phyllis! I love her! She can do deadpan like no other.

Posted by: linny at February 23, 2011 1:00 PM

And Timberlake? Man can't get no respect. What's he gotta do, pose in a mirror with a fake prosthetic cock hanging out?

Posted by: idiosynchronic at February 23, 2011 1:10 PM

Justin Timberlake in:

Boogie Nights 2: Electric Boogaloo

Posted by: OldSchool60 at February 23, 2011 2:02 PM

PLEASE! Justin deserves NO respect.

Posted by: Shazza at February 23, 2011 3:21 PM

You guys cant be serious, right? This movie looks fucking horrible. CD and JT, congratulating themselves on being so funny and edgy for 90 minutes. Ugh, I want to puke on their faces and kick their puppies.

Also, please rewatch her on Kimmel. He could barely contain his annoyance.

Posted by: peepants at February 23, 2011 4:31 PM

I can't get over how she's fucking ARod. Those pics of her strangely all of a sudden roided up looking arms aren't helping either.

Posted by: Az at February 23, 2011 4:31 PM

i rewound it five times, but just to try to place the kid who says "hooooly shit" during the car wash...it's gibby!

Posted by: matty blue at February 23, 2011 4:41 PM

I didn't laugh once. I wouldn't call Diaz unattractive but yeah not hot, anymore.

Posted by: junierizzle at February 23, 2011 6:21 PM

I really want to see this. After tutoring for a couple of years, it'd be nice to see some kids get cussed out and dodgeballed.

Posted by: Lucas at February 23, 2011 6:43 PM

No Dustin, I'd go with your first instinct. The one to wince and shudder.
Jason Segal should be spending all of his energy on the Muppet movie-not this garbage.

Posted by: Ugh at February 23, 2011 7:36 PM

Cameron Diaz is marginally more attractive than Billy Bob Thornton...

This cannot be emphasized enough.

Posted by: Devil Child at February 24, 2011 2:19 AM

I would see it just for Gibby.
