Robert J. Maxwell This piece of meretricious garbage is the spawn of ten thousand other movies about the forbidden relationship between high school girls and attractive older men. Sometimes the girl is the victim. Here, it's the other way round; the succulent young blond is Megan Park, and the thirty-six year old trigonometry teacher and girls' volleyball coach, David Charvet, is the victim of her erotomania.Park certainly is a dish. She has long, wavy tresses, and oversize pearly incisors. One imagines her canines are long and sharp, like a predatory tiger's. She throws herself all over Charvet, at school and elsewhere, insinuating her toothsome presence into his personal life, leaning over his desk so he is sure to inhale her musk, cuddling up to Charvet's little daughter, running over Charvet's ex wife. Park has lovely long legs, their fearful symmetry enhanced by the tiny skirts and spike heels that all high school girls wear. She has a marked thigh gap too. I understand that's desirable. All that's needed is the barbed wire tattoo around her neck that would cause any normal man to throw himself at her feet and grovel. The monumentally stupid Charvet himself has a prominent tattoo, a dozen Chinese ideograms on his inner forearm, but they're not a patch on a barbed wire tattoo for erotic arousal.Well, frankly, I found Megan's character revolting in the extreme, especially that business of murdering Charvet's ex wife. If it had been my ex wife I might have felt differently but there was simply no excuse for this deliberate act of mayhem. Megan might have exculpated herself by just removing her hampering outer garments somewhere along the line and giving the viewer a glimpse of those hidden treasures, but no. I don't even like her name. The character's name is Devon, pronounced like the English shire. I don't like it. I don't like her real name either -- Megan. Megan, Reagan, Jillian, Jennifer. What happened to sturdy old post-and-lintel names like Linda and Barbara and Hepzibah and Hatshepsut? Never watch a movie with a character named Devon in it.Here's the director at work. Charvet and Megan are shopping in a clothing store. Charvet's inamorata enters and needs to talk to Charvet alone, so Megan wanders off a few feet, pretends to be thumbing through a rack of dresses, and keeps an eye on them without wanting them to know she's doing so. Here's how she does it. She stands still and glares balefully at the pair. Is that how you would secretly spy on someone? It's not how I would do it. I'd pretend to be going through the items on the rack and glance up from time to time to see what's cooking. But Megan does everything to attract attention to herself except play "The Flight of the Bumblebee" on a kazoo.Do high school girls really have volleyball coaches? I wonder how you can get a job like that if you have neither interest in or talent for any sports.

dashielle89-425-132181 So the premise of the movie, although unoriginal, was entertaining enough. An unstable girl in high school becomes obsessed with her hot new math teacher/volley ball coach and will do anything to try to get him. I didn't bored while watching it and the acting wasn't bad for a TV movie, I have seen much worse.However I think this movie's main weakness is it's unbelievability. The teacher is made out to be an innocent victim of this girl's obsession, while in reality he was encouraging the behavior and probably breaking many school policies and maybe laws. Most schools, regardless of the state's laws, do not let teachers socialize with students individually outside of school, but this man found it acceptable for her to pick up his daughter and the three of them go out together, come to his house, go to his ex-wife's funeral, etc. He would have coffee with her, flirt with her, talk about personal relationships, and allow her to call his cell phone on a regular basis, but when she starts to outright say she want them to be together, he seems appalled and thinks she is the one who is totally out of line. He should have been reported (or reported her) in the beginning, or if not had his teaching license revoked and been terminated. I just seems most of the characters were completely incapable of making rational or realistic decisions.But even though most people have seen this story before and it does have some issues, I would say it's still worth watching once.

Jurry30 I just watched this film on Lifetime & I could already predict everything about it. The basic synopsis is a teenage girl falls for her teacher from school & after a while becomes obsessed with him & goes to enormous measures to make him hers. Megan Park does a pretty good job at playing the alluring villain, but like I said, it's been done before. This film was so much like The Crush (the film with Alicia Silverstone from 1993) that it lacked very little surprises or suspense & very well could have been called The Crush 2. But, as I said before, this film, even though predictable, is still rather enjoyable with some pretty good acting & is a good way to waste a couple hours in front of the TV, just don't expect very many surprises in this Made for TV thriller.

edwagreen The old problem of the young teacher and the student having a crush on him is again depicted by this 2010 film. Of course, our student has more than a crush on the teacher. It's an infatuation coupled with an imagination beyond belief. You know that such thoughts will invariably lead to mayhem and that's exactly what happens.Megan Park gives a compelling performance as the student whose mind plays tricks on her with her infatuation for the new trigonometry teacher who also doubles as a girls' sports coach. The teacher doesn't see through this because he has gone through a divorce and has built a relationship with another teacher that is threatening to come apart.David Chalvet's voice reminded me of the late Johnny Ray. He really lacked the maturity for the part and he appeared so vulnerable to Park's mesmerizing thoughts.The film again shows that you're the teacher and not the friend to a student. Boundaries must be established right away between younger teachers and high school students. You can only go so far and then you had better venture backwards.The ending points to the facts that these disturbed students are really living in a forever fantasy world. It just moves on to the next victim.
