This hysterically funny movie came onto the big screen on the 2nd of September 2011. In my opinion this comedy brings a laugh riot out of every individual that is glued to the screen. The vulgarity in the movie works as it creates the humor for the film, making it more than just an ordinary comedy. It was slightly funny seeing Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake in these specific roles, but they managed to pull their roles off leaving satisfied movie goers in my opinion.
Some teachers just don’t care at all and Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz) is the splitting example of this. She is rude, ruthless, foul-mouthed, gold digger and completely inappropriate most of the time. She is all about trying to find herself a ‘man’ that is her meal ticket out of the job she cold heartedly despises. However, when she is dumped by her fiancé who was able to offer this lifestyle, she is forced back to the one thing she is only ‘good’ at. When a new co-worker named Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake) comes onto scene, Elizabeth soon finds out that he comes from family money and starts to set her plans in place to win him over. However, she soon finds herself competing for his emotions with an overly energetic and psycho colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). While this battle all takes place there is a constant figure who tries to win her attention – the gym teacher Russell Gettis (Jason Segal). When her actions soon get out of hand and she is almost caught by the skin of her teeth, she soon realises the consequences of her outrageous actions. Her herself, her co-workers and students end up getting an education in something that is a lot more real beneficial in the outside world, not something that can be learned in the classroom but rather by experience.
This whole film is a package of fun, but also tends to teach something to all who will have the privilege of watching it. Its whole concept for me was that money can’t buy you happiness and that sometimes sensitivity is better than the macho-male so many of us females always finding ourselves drawn too. Definitely a must see film that will leave you perhaps questioning the relationships you may find yourself in at one point in your life.
