Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Blistering performances.

A middle aged lesbian pedophile teacher at a boarding school grooms a straight underage female pupil. She showers her with gifts to gain her trust her, and graduarly starts behaving more and more inappropriately, giving her birth control pills, phone, a key to her apartment, Pretending to be her friend, when all she's really doing is thinking of raping her.All through the film teacher has a creepy look on her face, watching the student in a gross way. I guess the moral of the story is that sexual predators come in all forms. Not worth watching if that sort of thing grosses you out.

The only reason this film gets above a 2 is that you can watch it as a spoof. The age old plot of the older , creepy obsessing teacher and the younger student has been with us for a while now, or at least for as long as the lawsuit awards against schools hit seven figures.The acting by the teacher chick is OK, the student is pretty flat though. The odd thing about it is , the obsessing teach never puts any sort of moves on the kid, so, whats the point? Is it sort of a fantasy like when a gal is befriending an older, generous man, and she swears they are "just friends" and she doesn't\'t have to do anything for the gifts?, and everybody from her grade school aged brother to, like, the dog are are going -"yea, right......"? The none too subtle lesbonic subtext is about as subtle as a ulceritive colitics BM after a night of drinking pure grain alcohol with a meal of spicy salmonella curry. Yet, no "lesbfriends" actions ever occur. My theory is the "mental, non physical affair" that is the rage on the talk show circuit right now, is what the writers have in mind. MAJOR cred problems.Who makes this stuff? You get the feeling someone wanted to be an actress , and they're rich father made a movie and put them in it. Anyway, if your napping in front of the TV and it is the only thing on, it is worth watching for a laugh until you nod off, and don't worry about falling asleep because when you do, you won't miss anything.

For the person who wrote this horrendous story, you can get rid of tenured teachers. It's a long drawn out process. 3 year sabbaticals? You must be kidding. No one would get that for any reason, especially for a mental defect. You can say goodbye to teaching forever.This ridiculous film deals with the obsession of a teacher towards students. The woman is emotionally seriously ill as she tries to supposedly aid her students.One such student falls under her spell. When it turns out that she helped her mother when the two women attended college together, I was ready to freak out.This was nothing more than simply awful fanfare.

Last night I watched yet another heavily hyped Lifetime movie, "A Teacher's Obsession," which differed from most of the previous Lifetime movies about crazy teachers trying to get over-involved in the lives of their students (or, a sub-genre they've probably pursued more often, crazy students trying to frame the teachers for this — the very best TV-movie I've seen about a teacher who got in trouble for having sex with a student was "All-American Girl: The Mary Kay LeTourneau Story," and that was made for the USA Network, not Lifetime) in that the crazy teacher and her victim are of the same sex. The crazy teacher is Janet Cunningham (Boti Bliss, who's been a regular on Lifetime movies for so long she's aged out of the crazy-teenager roles and gets to play the crazy-grownup roles instead), who returns to the prestigious Edgington Academy (i.e., a private "prep" high school) after a three-year sabbatical and takes over the life of the victim, Bridgette (Mia Rose Frampton, daughter of late-1970's rock star Peter Frampton), a blonde who's grades have gone south enough that, despite the clout of her mother Candace (Molly Hagan), who's on the school's board of directors, the school's headmaster, York (played by Adrian Sparks as a typical piece of avuncular cluelessness), puts her on academic probation and thereby kicks her off as the star of Edgington's women's lacrosse team. (I'm not making this up, you know.) Bridgette reluctantly and grudgingly relinquishes the title of captain of women's lacrosse to her roommate Dani (Madalyn Horcher), and she also agrees to give up her boyfriend Bobby (Dillon James), a computer science major, because mom is convinced her grades trended downward because she was giving more attention to Bobby and to lacrosse than to her studies. No problem, says Janet; she takes Bridgette under her wing, offering to coach her in her studies and actually writing her English papers for her — which naturally, as her newly assigned English teacher, she gives an A+ grade to — as well as scoring her the answers to an upcoming calculus midterm. Janet also offers Bridgette a cell phone so she can contact Bobby without leaving any evidence her mom can trace, and offers her the use of her apartment so she and Bobby can have sex. "A Teacher's Obsession" is a not-bad Lifetime movie, and I give writers Trysta A. Bissett and Preston DeFrancis credit for powerfully keeping Janet's motives ambiguous — they did not have her slobber all over Bridgette or attempt Lesbian rape on her, which was nice — but that's about the only real subtlety, aside from the performances by the two older women: Boti Bliss is chilling, reminding me of the similar role played by Louise Lewis in the 1958 American-International horror "Blood of Dracula," and Molly Hagan is great as what seems at first to be just another Overprotective Mother from Hell in a Lifetime movie but has depths that are only revealed to us late in the film.
