A boundary-pushing comedy that continues to both offend and delight audiences has just been added to Netflix<\/p>\n

Netflix has just added an iconic comedy film that\u2019s still scandalous and hilarious over a decade after it was first released.<\/p>\n

Starring one of Hollywood\u2019s most beloved comedic actresses, this irreverent film from 2011 still has a strong contingent of fans 14 years after it had audiences rolling in the cinema aisles.<\/p>\n

Streamers looking for plenty of crude gags and snarky humour now have the chance to get a dose of nostalgia now Bad Teacher has been added to Netflix\u2019s catalogue this October.<\/p>\n

Cameron Diaz stars in this riotous tale of a cynical middle school teacher who dreams of leaving her humdrum life to marry rich.<\/p>\n

When her dreams are shattered by a broken engagement, she quickly sets her sights on wealthy new substitute teacher Scott Delacorte (played by Justin Timberlake) while ignoring the advances of affable gym teacher, Russell (Jason Segel).<\/p>\n

Comedy lovers have continued to enjoy this off-kilter rom-com over the past decade and a half, and now is the perfect time for a re-watch now it\u2019s once again in Netflix\u2019s catalogue.<\/p>\n

One fan gave it a five-star Google review, penning: \u201cBad Teacher is irreverent, crude, amoral and offensive on many levels. But that\u2019s also what makes it a bit of fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cA B-grade cast has been assembled for this gold digger-gone-wrong comedy. The characters are fairly predictable, as is the storyline but that makes it light hearted and easy to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another rave review warned: \u201cDefinitely not for the “uptight” or “prudish” viewer (which I have been accused of many times).<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the movie was exactly what it was meant to be … a comedy. Albeit, a bit raunchy at times, you know right from the opening few minutes whether you should watch it or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the mess that our world is in right now, it’s refreshing to be able to find an escape to laugh once in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

And a final fan gushed: \u201cDiaz is the Queen of Comedy, I forget just how funny she is sometimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBad Teacher had me laughing out loud consistently and I would actually say that on the ratio of hits-to-misses, there were more jokes that hit for me here. It was a really fun watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved how horrible Cameron Diaz’s character Elizabeth was and thought it was hilarious that the film just lets her be bad, there is no moral lesson here.\u201d<\/p>\n
