	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Chris Hewitt Empire	"Broader than Bad Santa and less consistently funny, it's still gleefully rude, crude and often a lot of fun. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Passably funny vision of classroom apathy won't win fans within teachers' unions but isn't as outrageous as it could have been"	NEU
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"Unfortunately, the filmmakers never give us a single reason to root for such a miserable character (...) The whole cast works hard, but there's only so much even A-list actors can do with a C-level script (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"There is no chemistry, or indeed even much mutual awareness between Diaz and Timberlake (...) Whole chunks of the plot seem to have gone missing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer	"A raunchy comedy that's funnier to think about than to watch (...) 'Bad Teacher' is a promising concept in need of more promising material"	NEU
