To catch a predator.

I really wanted to like this movie. And I really wanted to like the scenes between the two main characters, but when they crawled into bed together, I felt like I was watching child porn and that Catherine had spent an extremely short amount of time grooming Jackie. Both characters were very attractive, but Jackie looked too young in most of those scenes, and the two characters were too alike physically. I know this was some sort of play on mommy issues, but it actually made my feel uncomfortable to watch these two be intimate in a sexual way.

Yeah, dude...this movie gave me the creeps.

How old is Jackie suppose to be? She seems mentally/emotionally stunted and acted like a girl of maybe 14. Totally creeptastic for a grown ass woman to be so involved.

OMG, so true per the title of this thread. It actually felt skeezy how they started the story between the two characters. No build up whatsoever, so it ended up feeling kind of molesty, especially when the teacher kept saying things like "are you ok" during the process...

Agreed. Tried to like the movie but there was almost no seduction/build up. The girl looked too young and undeveloped, almost like a 12-13 year old girl. The professor spotted her at the party and bang! a kiss on her lips and some sex at her lair. She was definitely a predator. Beautiful woman, that teacher, but they should have casted another girl as the student. Somebody who looks 18+ and goes to College, not Middle School.

Besides, what kind of psychology professor will act like that towards her students? "I wanted you since I saw you at that office". Lord knows I like my lesbian/erotica movies, but there was no seduction, no tension... Very uncomfortable movie. I finished it and I felt dissappointed.

I believe the film was done with some erotic scenes and the studio cut them to avoid kiddie porn lawsuits (what's the age of that young actress, by the way). The result was weird and forgettable.

I wholeheartedly agree!! Great actors but it truly was just a horrible miscast... the love scenes made me cringe and ughhh I felt icky even watching it. Thank god it was over, hopefully I will forget it as soon as I watch a better romantic lesbian movie

LOL at people who said that the young girl looked 12-13...I would have guessed anywhere between 18-28. People age a lot better now than fifty years ago.

This guy is actually 23, though he looks 5: http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/384/362/hi-res-34a8feac9be9d3ae8c58fcd953d053a6_crop_north.jpg?w=630&h=420&q=75

She was actually 24 when the movie was filmed! Born in 1986, film was 2010. The professor though was not old either...actress was born in 1980. So they were pretty much around the same age, though the former looked somewhat younger.
