opieandy-1 Asinine plot, extremely abbreviated conclusion. Ridiculous need to suspend disbelief of absurd things. All involved should be ashamed..

wes-connors Pretty chemistry teacher Elizabeth Berkley (as Christie Dawson) offers to tutor handsome student Corey Sevier (as Joshua "Josh" Gaines) after school. Used to having his way with women, Mr. Sevier makes sexual advances, which Ms. Berkley refuses. Persistence leads to accusations... This is a very predictable story, but refreshing in that it does not follow the path you are initially expecting; this makes the title "Student Seduction" highly misleading. Credit should be given to director Peter Svatek and a fine cast, for keeping performances appropriate. In particular, Berkley is attractive without being seductive. Sevier and Sarah Allen (as Jenna) do well as the students. Unfortunately, we are treated to obvious plot plants throughout. You will be able to spot future "witnesses" easily, along with the behavior which could prove to be the perpetrator's undoing.**** Student Seduction (5/5/03) Peter Svatek ~ Elizabeth Berkley, Corey Sevier, Rick Roberts, Sarah Allen

triple8 SPOILERS THROUGHOUT: Say the words: lifetime movie and a lot of people roll their eyes. Say the name Elizabeth Berkely and many think "Showgirls". Worse, take a name like "student seduction" which has to be one of the worst movie titles I've ever heard-(and I've heard a lot), and the pieces don't sound as if they add up to a lot. Yet this movie, while not great, was decent enough for me to give it an above average rating and it really could have been a 7 or 8(I think) if some things that went on hadn't been so muddled. But I really did think this movie wasn't half bad.Most know the plot-a female teacher gets accused of making sexual overtures toward one of her students even though it was the other way around. Nobody seems to believe her-even her attorney and husband at times seem doubtful. So of coarse the movie deals with the teacher's attempts to bring about the truth.Typical lifetime? Maybe. All I know is the movie had some pluses, number one being the performance by Berkely herself. She was good. Very much so. She actually made me forget she was in a thing called Showgirls and no matter what the quality of a movie, if a performer is good, they should be given kudos. Berkely is not only good but excellent and I am glad she was cast in this role. It was really an interesting movie because it is thought provoking and more then a little scary. I did enjoy it.Cheesy title or not, I would have given this a much higher rating but for a few things. While the movie was relatively well written and the performances extremely good, there was a lot of things that were frustrating. A lot goes on behind the scenes and the movie never ever really explains why so many become convinced the teacher is actually the guilty party. Id have liked to see WHY everyone thought she did it. It was very muddled the way it was done, and comes off as rather contrived because instead of seeing events unfold in a believable way, we see person after person, start looking at the teacher with suspicion. So of coarse a lot of the time is spent in frustration at all the people who seem to be obsessed with pinning it all on the teacher. Yet without being presented with clear reasons- (WHY did the cops look at her with suspicion almost from the beginning?) it almost becomes annoying rather then intriguing.Berkely however, is so good, and the premise so interesting it does make you want to watch till the end. I think 6 is the perfect rating. This isn't great but it is an interesting, well acted television movie that maybe at least worth a look if the subject matter interests you or if you are a fan of Berkely or television movies.

whiskey_gurl_19 I'm only seventeen years old and i was flipping threw the channels on a Monday night at like 12:30 am and started to watch a movie called Student Seduction. This movie is really really good i would recommend it to anyone who is in for a good drama/thriller. I didn't see the whole movie only from the part where her car broke down, and I really like the movie. I have seen a lot of movies where teachers try to "touch" their students, but I haven't seen a good movie about student teacher relationships and i have to say that this movie shocked me and scared me a little bit because if how manipulative people can be and how a nice gesture can turn sour. This movie is awesome!!! everyone who sees this should go rent it!!!!
