Totally underrated

This is a great little film. I wasn't expecting much, but I was very pleasantly surprised. A pretty good teen comedy - about NORMAL teens for once (well, what I consider to be normal, anyway). Makes a nice change from all the over-the-top American Pie/Road Trip type movies (although I like those as well).

I think the title and the DVD cover aren't particularly well chosen. In fact, they're terrible. Makes it look like a B-grade erotic-drama or something. I got this cheap on eBay, mainly for Jason London (Dazed and Confused) and Tia Carrere (Wayne's World) - turned out to be a bargain!

My Teacher's Wife is good, although it isn't a great film. I still think it is one of Tia Carrere's most sexiest film performances. Just enjoy it for Tia Carrere.

I agree. I was just expecting a typical teen sex comedy, but this was better than most. A true gem.

I agree with everything that's been said here. I, too, was expecting some mindless sex comedy (which it isn't a bad thing - Tia Carrere is the main attraction after all), but to my surprise, it was a nice movie with good performances, a solid soundtrack, and even some depth. And, yes, it is pretty enjoyable.
