''Bad Teacher'' is a 2011 comedy film starring [[Cameron Diaz]] as a middle school teacher in the Illinois school system with a somewhat crude streak...When a new substitute teacher ([[Justin Timberlake]]) enters the picture and she finds out he comes from a wealthy family, she decides [[A -Cup Angst|she needs a boob job in order to win his affection]]. And as fate would have it, the best teacher in the district receives a bonus that year, and she decides to turn her slovenly ways around in order to acquire it, by becoming the best teacher ever. Obviously, it's easier said than done.
