I was bored on YouTube one night and saw that this movie was free to stream. Figured that Elizabeth Berkeley would be a fun screen presence (I enjoyed her on SBTB). It was an okay premise, but the ending flatlined. The young kid is totally to blame for the unwanted advances, yet the teacher made some critical errors. No teacher should hang out with a student alone outside of a school setting (when they went for burgers), and the fact that the teacher returned to the school building after she reported the kiss and home intrusion was barbaric.
The he said/she said or student/adult testimony was a constant theme. She went to the hospital after being assaulted, and yet no mention of that was brought up again. Moreover, the fact that the kid initiated a phone conversation would have been favorable to the teacher (just get the phone record for the trial). Plus the investigators interviewed most of the student body, so it's logical that at least one or two students would have mentioned Josh's aggressive behavior.
Overall a dull movie, with wasted potential and poor writing.
