Keeping it in bounds for what it is -- breaking all the rules for teachers -- it's pretty funny IMO. She gets away with all of it. Sexual and dopey innuendo for Diaz plays right into her profile. She was made for that role. And Timberlake playing the opposite (not his profile); a virginal naive gullible type, makes for a perfect contrasting pair.

Lucy Punch as Amy Squirrel, the self-centered all-star goody teacher, is funnier than 4 flat tires. Now that's funny. I thought she stole the movie.

Jason Seagal, the gym rat, sees all this as farce and just floats through it, keeping his eye on the ball, so to speak (Diaz). In all, I thought it was a very funny -- and very predictable -- flick. Anyone looking for surprises or the meaning of life ain't gonna do well here, but it's a good time. Goes well with beer.
