Grade: C-
I was really excited about seeing this movie. My friend and I knew it was R, so we knew it would be kind of raunchy. And while we don't like that, what we really don't like is just plain weird. And this movie was WEIRD. Just freaky stuff. Cameron was annoying and witchy with a b, Justin Timberlake was very, very odd, and Jason Segel was the only likable character, but that is only because everyone else was so awful. Elizabeth Halsey (Diaz) is retiring from being a teacher to marry her very rich fiance. But, when he finds out that she doesn't like him all that much, he breaks off the engagement, which means that Elizabeth has to go back to teaching and back to finding another husband. Russell Gettis (Segel), the gym teacher, thinks he's the perfect person but Elizabeth has her eye on adorable and shy substitute teacher Scott Delacorte (Timberlake), heir to a very large watch fortune. As she tries to get around Scott's new girlfriend, Amy Squirrel (played by Lucy Punch), Elizabeth realizes she has more to worry about as Amy is out to try to prove that Elizabeth is not only a thief and takes drugs, but is a bad teacher.
