this movie be a pathetic attempt and apparently and to justify the action of mary ann letourneau . in order to do this and they cast a 19 year old well and probably not in order to do this . there be no way they could have cast a 12 or 13 year old a the boy because the love scene would have gross everyone out ( if they have even be allow to do them ) a they should . mary ann boyfriend be my nephew age and make her a pedophile . sixth grade and people . the definition of pedophile doesn not have to include many child all you need be one . i really do not care about her upbringing or her unhappy marriage . she have a responsibility to her student that she do not live up to . the reason give be that she be bipolar and reject the diagnosis and and refuse to take her medication . it understandable and then and that she be not think rationally . one hop that she now understand her action . now that she and vili be marry and have two child together and i pray that she be on her medication and think clearly . all that aside and penelope ann miller be totally convincing and perfect casting for the role .
