Cameron Diaz plays a really awfull teacher named Elizabeth who
is stuck teaching 7th grade after her plans to marry a rich fiancee
land in the trash bin. She successfully lies, steals and
cheats her way to the top and stays there even after various
attempts are made by supporting characters to "out" her as a cheat.
The message of this movie is that crime pays, which is a bad message
for kids. There were a few laughs to be had in this "comedy",
but not worth repeating here. Two stars.
