Bad With Numbers

Good movie. You can’t go wrong with Tia Carrera!

Classic movie and came fast.

Good Movie!

To paraphrase Thora Birch: "I kind of like this movie. It's the exact opposite of everything I hate in a film".This obscure film was too low key and intelligent to get a theatrical release, any chance for success would have needed a costly promotional campaign. And a coming of age story where nothing spectacular happens - where instead the focus is on character development, has a limited target audience. Whoever heard of a mature teen movie?But if you have an opportunity to see this or if you can part with a few bucks for the DVD, you could do a lot worse. "My Teacher's Wife" is nothing revolutionary but it has a lot going for it and holds up well to repeated viewings.Jason London (as high school senior Todd Boomer) is the star and fits this character as well as his parts in "The Man In the Moon" and "Dazed and Confused". He is helped out by exceptional work from his supporting cast. Tia Carrere in the title role is a revelation (she can act) as Todd's calculus tutor and love interest. Christopher McDonald as the teacher in a nice self-parodying performance. Zak Orth and Alexondra Lee as Todd's best friends, and Jeffrey Tabor as his father.As someone commented earlier, this is a "mature" teen movie because the romantic relationships are universally unsuccessful-at least by traditional happy ending standards. Even Todd's parents are indifferent to each other, with his father panting after the title character and his mother (Leslie Lyles) literally on the telephone during her entire time on screen (a device that provides increasing comedy relief with each successive appearance). The London-Carrere romance has unexpected charm and is far more believable than any other older woman storyline you are likely to find.But the real strength of the film is the evolving relationship of the three friends. There is no overwrought melodrama here, just three immature people who alternate between testing and trusting each other, subject to all the dynamics that three young people can bring to this kind of thing. They actually manage to pull off a "believable" three-person relationship, perhaps the first one in cinema history.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

O.K. Firstly, whoever wrote the editorial shown above doesn't know how to critique movies. I watch alot of movies, and this movie was far better than the most of what i watch. The plot was excellent. It's a situation that you don't want to fall into, but than you kind of imagine about it or everyone once in awhile get there. High school senior falls in love with beautiful wife of his math teacher. It's a probably setting. I mean don't you ever get into situation where you find someone you really like, but you are totally not in the right position to have a relationship. Some people might say this movie is too didactic or "do-the-good-thing' type of movie. Well, I think this movie is more than that. It did make me interested in the plot. Over all, I would say this is very excellent movie and if you are looking for a half 'chick fleak' and half 'comedy' type of movie, go ahead and order this DVD. It's PRETTY GOOD.

First of all, there is one nude scene with Tia Carrere showing her tops (but I think it is a body double) as the scene didn't show Ms. Carrere's face. Other than that there is not much to see from this teen oriented sexy comedy. The plot about a high school student who falls for her sexy math tutor who happens to be the wife of his math professor. Besides Tia Carrere, there is nothing else this movie can offer.

This was one of her sexiest videos ever!!!

This review may contain SPOILERS. Don't get carried away by the DVD cover, Tia Carrere does not look this hot in the film although she and Jason London as the love-struck pair do get a romantic scene together. This film must strike a chord with just about every male student who ever had a crush on a hot teacher. The problem for me is that despite knowing that she is married, no-one asks the simple questions such as, What is your surname? What does your husband do? Where does he work? etc. Mind you, if these questions were asked there would be no film. There was some fun to be had, especially the scene once the other students find out what Todd has been up to, but it was the obvious plot contrivances which spoilt the film for me.On the technical side, this is a Region 1 DVD and not All Regions as it says in the product details. The picture ratio is 1.33:1 and I had to experiment with the TV and DVD player settings to get a properly proportioned picture. Another annoying feature is that the English subtitles come up automatically and you have to go into the menu to turn them off. If you do need them, they are not very good because they are almost invisible against dark backgrounds. I have given the film three stars but I think two and a half would be more appropriate.

Fantastic film would recommend this to anyone to buy

It arrived on time but does not play on either console or DVD Player keeps saying wrong region is it because im in Wales
