Bechdel Test Movie List

The whole thing was about how she could get that teacher into bed. she did talk about other things but it was brief. Good movie though but it didn't pass that test

i was personally offended by the movie because the woman is clearly a sociopath and an all around terrible person, but because shes attractive, has the admiration of everyone around her and ends up finding love.

I think it passes the test. Before Justin shows up she talks to the other teacher about teaching/not teaching.

sure she's a gold digging skank in the beginning, however she has several conversations about money and her boobs with women. oh and pot.

As I understand it, a movie doesn't fail the test just because the main character was a terrible person (she was) or because the entire premise is offensive. There are lots of reasons why this movie might fail your personal test, but it absolutely passes the Bechdel Test.

(I also disagree with the first poster: arguably NOTHING that she did for the first 90% of the movie was about a man... it was about getting rich, quitting her job and living a life of leisure. Marrying for money was simply a means to an end. No, it wasn't a feminist message, but the lead character wasn't supposed to be likeable, anyway.)

Everything she does is because she wants new boobs to bag a man.
She's an awful role model that has her rebellious characteristics glorified and overrated. She cheats, she steals, she lies - i.e., forsakes all ethics, in order to land a marriage. The principles if applied strictly, afford the movie a pass, but everything is based on a man. FAIL. BIG TIME.

wow people are really missing the point of this movie, we're not supposed to like the character for most of the movie which is what makes the end of the film when she decides to to go after a man for money, and not get her boob job and stay a teacher rewarding. you'd think people watched a completely different movie then me. considering the main character is consistently dominant to the men in the movie who are all portrayed as idiots i fail to see how it is sexist towards women.

You don't go to see Bad Teacher because it has good role models, you go to see it because it's fun to laugh at horrible people. I'm a public school teacher and I thought it was hilarious. I agree that it meets the criteria whether we like the characters or not.
