everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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.

Tia Carrere was the reason I decided to watch this film, as neither the title, nor the cover would have been enough to make me spend my time and money on this film – which goes to show, me and everyone, that a DVD shouldn't be judged by it's cover.***SPOILERS*** The film felt like it was trundling along, not really going anywhere for the moment – the awkwardness of Paul Faber (Zak Orth) around girls being almost too embarrassing to watch, and the fringe on the otherwise attractive Kirsten Beck (as Alexondra Lee) being too school-girlish to watch. Where those really fashionable in 1995?The relationship between Vicky Mueller (Tia Carrere) and Todd Boomer (Jason London) was tantalising from the start of though! That first meeting across the lake – magical. What a beautiful coincidence they should meet again just as he has behaved like a complete moron ("Boomer, with two O's as in moron…") in front of Alexondra. A shame really that we as the audience knew who Vicky Mueller really was. (Well… the title did give that away, wouldn't you think?)What really surprised me was the acting. Especially in the scene where Vicky gives Todd a metal version of his alter ego (the dog character), in the little white jewellery box. The actors really managed to recreate that tingling sensation of a first kiss – point of no return for Todd and Vicky. A shame really that the film ends with focus on (after getting over Todd's fathers Harvard drive) his re-uniting with his friends. I could envision a whole new film – following Vicky to New York – there must be a good art University there that Todd could attend?!?Nevertheless, a film that does just what we want Hollywood to: entertain us for the duration of the film. Did anyone else notice how none of the loves are happy ones in this film? Todd's mother is slightly insane (on the phone 24/7), his Dad doesn't find her attractive (any more?) Todd's teacher obviously is disenchanted by his wife and vice versa – Todd himself enters into a wonderfully erotic & daring relationship which, however nice it may be, would realistically be very difficult to maintain (age difference, maturity difference etc), and Alexondra & Zak do not get together because Alexondra is not mature enough to handle a relationship (-> her reactions towards the condom, the cheating, Zak's advances etc. are all very immature, and often involve running away), and Zak himself, the poor guy – is too much of a best friend/like a brother-guy to pull even Alexondra.Mind you, good film though! I gave it an 8/10. Brilliant performance by the actors - who bring the script to life.

This movie holds true to many people remember those high school days in which many of us teenage boys had a crush on certain female teachers we liked. Change it some put yourself in the shoes of a struggling calculus student who has his tough teacher climbing his neck and dreams of a college scholarship about to go in flames. Never fear an accident meeting with the sexy Tia Carrere who later turns out to be his teacher's wife! Not only does Tia take the young student through winning calculus training but a passionate romance develops. Only when the student has his teacher find out it all ends and a life lesson is learned and back to normal life. This movie shows that our fantasies can come true but they don't last and we must live our basic life. I watched this movie on USA one night late though it's not a great movie it's good due to the story and the beautiful Tia Carrere.

Despite the risque title (it was actually released under the even worse title My Teacher's Wife in the US), this is a well-acted and entertaining coming-of-age film. Jeffrey Tambor is hilarious, Tia Carrere proves she can actually act, and Zak Orth as the socially awkward sidekick nearly steals the movie. If you're in high school facing the pressures of college or just remember that time well in your nightmares, you'll definitely relate to this one.
