Very disappointing...

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Absolutely the worst movie.

It really gets me how these teenage comedies concerning young men losing their virginity is always cast with kids who look they should have no problem in that direction. Certainly that would be the case with both Matt Lattanzi and Clark Brandon. As for Crispin Glover who is best known for being George McFly in Back To The Future he's just comic relief in any event.These three just graduated and both Glover and Lattanzi just can't quite get it done. Lattanzi has another problem he's failed French and so his father Kevin McCarthy gets him a French tutor with Caren Kaye. That proves to be quite the education.My Tutor has a few comic moments. Maybe the best performances are Lattanzi's clueless mother Arlene Golonka and Bruce Bauer as Kaye's typical Reagan era venture capitalist. The idea for him is speculation is the way to make millions. He's almost a prototype for the 80s.A bit better than some of these films, but no great shakes.

This film is not about the real life. It is simply a teenage boy's pure sexual fantasy becoming a reality. It is more like a porn movie material which was toned down for an R movie. If he really loves his tutor, how can he change his mind in just one night? Why does the tutor want to swim naked at night?And at the end, after his tutor left for France, the movie ends with him jumping into the air. What does that suggest? Is it because he is just happy that his "lover" is gone forever, or is it because he is just happy that he has had sex with his hot tutor, and he does not have to deal with the consequence afterwards? Overall, it is still a watchable movie. It has that warm sentimental feelings that remind me about the time when I was a teenager.

To the extent this movie is remembered at all, it's remembered as a better-than-average example of an 80's teen sex comedy. That's not much of a compliment, but the movie at least had a sympathetic female lead (instead of a snooty and scheming girl who deserved to have her clothes ripped off) and it made attempts to include romance and tenderness with the sex.Like the rest of the genre, this movie will probably continue to sink into oblivion. Matt Lattanzi may be a wonderful human being for all I know, but he's not a strong screen presence. Someone should have told him that being stiff and expressionless is not the same thing as projecting quiet confidence. The soundtrack is dreadful. Many of the supporting actors, however, especially Arlene Golonka and Crispin Glover, are amusing in their minor roles.

I saw this movie when I was a kid and since the plot has been gone over numerous times I won't even get into that. Suffice to say, what you see is what you get. This movie falls into the "male hormone" genre of movies but it really wasn't so bad, the movie was tasteful compared to some of the garbage that's out today and it actually had a somewhat interesting plot with decent chemistry among the leads so girls could actually find it watchable as well as males. The setting was quite pretty as well. Make no mistake though, this is geared directly toward the teenage boy. The movie doesn't even try to be original but I liked how both the leads characters' were actually-well-developed somewhat. The movie's main flaw is the totally awful title but for what it is it's all right and I'd actually rate it a 5 or 6, you could do worse with a movie of this type.
