"Can someone explain to me the many sniffy reviews of Bad Teacher, written atop so many high horses that you’d think the critics were running for Congress? It’s a good, raunchy, gonzo comedy in the spirit of Bill Murray pictures like Meatballs and Stripes, but with a woman (quite a woman) talking dirty and drinking too much and smoking dope and using everything in her arsenal to get what she wants. She cheats, she lies, she dresses like a hooker. She’s incorrigibly sleazy and opportunistic in the great American degenerate movie huckster tradition. There’s no Apatow story structure requiring the character to grow up — or, at the other extreme, no extraneous barf and poop jokes à la Bridesmaids to prove that girls can be as gross as guys. Bad Teacher is free of redeeming social value, which, in an age of tsk-tsk-ing whoremongers and abstinence-preaching unwed mothers is plenty redeeming for me. You go, Ms. Ho!"
