to faint hearted u citizen who tend to pass out or cry havoc at the mere sight of a female nipple this decidedly tepid tale of a 17 year old lesbian girl fall in love with her 40 ish teacher and drag her into bed might have scandal write all over it while to more enlightened people and it simply shallow and and even at it b movie run time of 76 minute and immensely boring . the muddled and underwritten script work strictly on the level of a high school play and driving home it well worn message ( true love will find a way to overcome even the great obstacle and heterosexual men be selfish bastard and bad in bed to boot ) with all the subtlety of a poorly grease jackhammer . and while the acting be okay and some scene such a the kissing in the swimming pool bit look as cheesy a if they be lift straight from the l word or a soft core lesbian sex flick while how director katherine brook manage to hire people like elizabeth shue and will patton and the ever magnificent france conroy for her late effort ( wake madison ) be beyond me . finally and the climactic ( no pun intend ) sex scene be actually very tame and never go beyond european prime time tv standard and so and dear kid and guardian of public moral and there really nothing to worry about . contrary to some of the comment here and the film doesn not encourage and let alone propagate pedophilia ( which generally stand for the sexual abuse of a child and a category a sexually active and aggressive 17 year old hardly qualify for in my book ) but mostly play like a chin up movie for young lesbian about to come out .
