I watched Labyrinth (1986) for the first time in July of 2007 (theatrical re-release). Walking out of the theater, I remember thinking a couple of things:
1. That suit David Bowie was wearing doesn't leave much to the imagination.
2. How happy I was, I had huge a grin on my face. Jim Henson penetrated through my very soul; that inner child that's in most of us. And for just one moment, all seemed right with the world.

BAD TEACHER
R
92 minutes
Director: Jake Kasdan
Writers: Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg
Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel and Justin Timberlake
Let's Start Off With A History Lesson (11 Years Ago)
PAY IT FORWARD was released October 20, 2000.
This entire movie is an exercise in suspending disbelief.
- Helen Hunt is 37 years old. Yet, she works as a Vegas cocktail waitress in a gentleman’s club. Wearing only a bra...really, come on.
- Kevin Spacey educates children.
- Jay Mohr is a newspaper reporter.
- Deep down, all people are good.
Yes, I am going somewhere with this analogy.
Fast forward eleven years.
Cameron Diaz is 38 years old. It appears all those hours spent in the sun have finally caught up to her. She plays a slutty teacher, who is a bit of gold digger. She is saving up for breast implants, and they cost 10,000 dollars.
So she smokes pot at lunch. It kind of reminds me of my 8th grade science teacher. We'll call him Mr B. He taught at Gateway Middle School (Everett, Washington) during the late 90's.
Justin Timberlake plays a rich suave, dorky teacher. His character does not seem very believable. Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake made this movie completely unwatchable (well them, and the bad wrting).
Everyone else plays does a decent job playing their characters
- Non-Creepy Middle School PE Teacher (Jason Segel).
- Uptight total bitch (Jillian Armenante).
- Middle-aged boring lady (Phyllis Smith).
The ending was alright: except it did not make any sense. An unapologetically evil, sociopath, magically transforms into be decent human being.
Do not watch this movie under any circumstances. It is about entertaing as a middle school assembly featuring a motivational speaker, who rips a phonebook in half.
Final Verdict: 26 out 100
