Sony to release Bad Teacher on 19 August
MUMBAI: Sony Pictures Entertainment will release the Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake-starrer Bad Teacher on 19 August.
Bad Teacher, a comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague — a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.
The film follows foul-mouthed, money hungry, recently single teacher Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz), who is at odds with her colleague Amy (Lucy Punch). Amy happens to be dating the cute new substitute teacher, Scott (Justin Timberlake), whom Elizabeth has a crush on.
When she finds out that his previous girlfriend was very well-endowed, she resolves to raise money to get breast implants in order to attract Scott‘s attention. She is later told by another colleague that the teacher with the highest class average gets an extra bonus. Her biggest competitor is, of course, Amy.
The film also stars Lucy Punch, John Michael Higgins and Jason Segel.
