SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
****CONTAINS SPOILERS****Any imaginative viewer could create the entire movie based on the title alone. Todd has a crush on his attractive math tutor, played by Tia Carrere who is to acting what candy sprinkles are to a cupcake: they don't add much except the aesthetics. You are waiting for the moment when she goes au naturel, after which you turn off the movie and go to sleep. There wasn't much after that, not that there was much before that to begin with, in that it doesn't really deliver on that premise of the suggestive title. If you had your Vaseline ready, you'd be disappointed. The best scene for me was the soccer scene where his friend Faber is the incomparably inept goalkeeper. It was an actually funny stretch. You wonder why he ditches his equally attractive girlfriend to bed his married tutor, considering how bad things could get and did get. For good measure, his dreams of going to Harvard never materialize. Karma, maybe? Oh, I can suggest a title for the sequel, "My teacher's wife's even hotter teenage sister."
If Tia Carrere was my math tutor, I want to study too. She is the epitome of beauty. A great smile, piercing eyes, long legs, and most important of all, she thinks of herself as just another girl. She isn't, but it's nice anyway. Much has been made of the sex scenes, but Tia was never very comfortable with body, until she was the Playboy cover girl of January 2003, if that's what you are looking for. This is a passable movie that isn't the raunchy romp that the exploitive cover art makes it out to be. Zak Orth is the center of a more emotional movie. It's that odd combination that brings the movie down. It succeeds as neither. Mute it and watch Tia, unless you feel more like getting in touch with your feelings.
Are you tired of all those boring,stupid,and completly insipid movies about teenagers? I know I am. But I wholeheartedly recommend "My Teacher's Wife", which is a sweet little slice-of life tale about a high school senior (well played by Jason London, in the best performance he has ever given.), who falls in love with the wife (Tia Carrere) of his calculas teacher (a wonderfully detestable Christopher Mc Donald.)It may sound trashy,but it is excellently done and very insightful on friendship and matters of the heart.I think this movie is an underrated gem and the best teen comedy I have ever seen.
This undemanding comedy has some good moments, but in the end, it's a forgettable film. This movie certainly was fun at times, but the story was ordinary and not particularly original. The reasonably well-known cast does a pretty good job, but the script didn't provide them with an abundance of good material. So, I suppose this is a decent choice the next time that you want to see a film, but I still urge you to look for something better.
