Not as bad as its reputation


I just got the "Too Cool for School Collection" DVD set, which includes "Coach" (even as the cover shot). I very vaguely remember watching the movie back in the early 80s and dismissing it. But on viewing it now, I found it to be not really that bad (I gave it a 7). In comparison to most 70s and 80s teen sexploitation movies, it had adequate acting and an adequate story. It isn't one of those movies of the genre that I start watching nowadays and can't continue watching more than 30 minutes. I actually watched the whole movie and enjoyed it a little bit....although the coach's behavior with her student was sooooooo inappropriate and would get her not only fired, but arrested and an instant celebrity in the media nowadays in a heartbeat!
Please do not attack me for my opinions...we're all entitled to them.

I agree with you. The chemistry between the cast made what could have been an insipid teen romance work. I actually bet the writers wished they had written some sort of resolution to the relationship.
