'Bad Teacher' Aces Rental Competition

In the mood to rent a movie, but not sure what's popular? Patch has teamed up with Redbox to bring you the top five movie rentals in our area.

Here’s what’s hot:

Bad Teacher (R): Cameron Diaz plays, well, a bad teacher – foul-mouthed, ruthless and inappropriate. When she gets dumped by her fiancé, she targets a rich, handsome substitute teacher. Somewhere, in all of this, there are supposed to be a lot of laughs.

Zookeeper (PG):  Kevin James, everyone’s favorite Mall Cop, goes for easy laughs in a twist on the Dr. Dolittle premise.

Bridesmaids (R): Does anyone else think this is some sort of Thelma & Louise take on The Hangover?

Transformers Dark of the Moon (PG-13): Somehow, they managed to take what was once a beloved Saturday morning cartoon and transform it into a loud, fast CGI extravaganza that has a story line like to the JFK’s race to the moon.

X-Men: First Class (PG-13):  Apparently, if you can’t come up with a sequel, it’s acceptable to go to a prequel. In this case, we go back to the Cold War with the first X-Men.
