But then I actually watched it, and I quite enjoyed myself.

Its funny, entertaining, and seemingly has zero morals.

And that, folks, is pretty much it.

It also seems to be the next in an unofficialBadfranchise (followingBad Santa).

Im all for seemingly benign careers harbouring mavericks.

Ideally, the next one will be Bad Zookeeper.

That said, however, its definitely noBad Santa,in case you were expecting that.

It has several flaws which keep it from being a must-see.

There really isnt a whole heap of character development here, not even for Diazs lead.

That said, though, it isnt a bad thing.

Of particular note is Jason Segel, once again plying his winning everyman charm with just a slight edge.

Hes loveable and relatable in most things he does, andBad Teacheris no exception.

She has a face made for edgy comedy.

He also gets the films best line, or at least the one that made me laugh the most!

But nevertheless, having no real morals to speak of, or caring about having them.

Bad Teacheris consistently funny, although never really reaching the heights you would hope it would.

I hate to accuse any film of being too nice, but I think its a valid criticism here.

Thats not to say there isnt a lot of fun to be had, though.

I would happily watch it again, and most likely laugh along again.

Just not uproariously, like you should at these sorts of comedies.
