Bad Teacher

SYNOPSIS

Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz) is a teacher who just doesn’t give an F. Not only is she foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate–she drinks, she gets high, and she can’t wait to marry her meal ticket so she can escape what she considers to be her bogus day job.

When she gets dumped by her fiancé, she connives to win over a rich, handsome substitute teacher (Justin Timberlake)– but has to compete with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch), for his affections. Things get complicated when a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel) starts making advances on Elizabeth. The consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes wind up giving her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education she could never have predicted.
