The New Awful: Bad Teacher

There have been some awful films distributed to the American public and I have demonstrated an indecent level of poor judgment to partake in some of the worst. My most recent foray into the bile that passes for acceptable film entertainment these days was the movie "Bad Teacher" starring Cameron Diaz. It is a film about a teacher who cheats and performs extortion in order to procure a bonus so that she can buy breast implants. This may be the least morally objectionable aspect of the movie. There is a scene where a student runs across Diaz smoking what looks to be a crack pipe, but is "only" weed. Then there is the scene where Diaz rips off her bra and hands it to a middle school student so that he can be popular with his friends. It is a sick and cynical film, morally bankrupt, and beyond redemption. The entire film production crew, screenwriters, actors, director, and producers, need to go around their neighborhood and alert the neighbors that they live nearby. Of course, after 2 hours of this unadulterated rancid cinema, the movie-makers try to save themselves by having the main characters learn important lessons about the true intrinsic values needed for a fulfilling life. No one buys it. Can a movie be flushed?
