For My Daughter's Honor

I'll watch any 90s after school special. The acting wasn't as bad as most others. There were however a lot of scenes that felt unnecessary, and others that just never led anywhere. While the movie had a decent duration, it ended so abruptly. Was really hoping for more of an ending. Everyone that was cast did a good job. Subject matter is obviously uncomfortable and its difficult as a viewer to not become infuriated.

This is one of my old favorite movies I've been watching it for years. And it's also good to use as a tool of what teens should and should not do, what signs to look for with this kind of abuse that happens from older people of power, especially teachers. "My daughter's honor", I never did agree with that title because this isn't the movie where a parent fights for her daughter, in fact it isn't until the end of the movie that the parents actually find out and do something! So again "indecent seduction" is a much better title! What annoys me most about the movie is how this sick man had a pattern of abuse with his students for years, all the students knew, the staff and other teachers knew and did Nothing! So sad how that happens more often than not, and the fact that this is based on a true story makes it all the more disturbing. I thought Gary Cole and Nicholle Tom did excellent jobs with these roles. You can really feel the characters! I still can't wrap my mind around how this young girl's parents let her go to a rock concert and spend the night at this man's house regardless that she supposed to be hanging with the daughter, they never even met his daughter or knew her to be one of the daughters friends! So to me that was an instant red flag and then after the rumors of her and the coach having an affair the dad still allows her to go camping with this Man's family!? Absolutely disgusting, are we that naive folks!? Again this movie serves as an excellent tool to have you keep an eye on your kids!

This movie was shown on Lifetime as For My Daughter's Honor. I had a hard time watching Gary Cole playing this part. He did a believable job, but I think the fact that the school kept brushing it off and his wife never seemed to notice just made me squirm. I think the girl who played Amy did a good job, but her character didn't seem to have enough backbone to get out of a bad situation. It would be good to use to make girls aware of what's appropriate and what's not.

Nicholle Tom (of Beethoven fame) is excellent as a 14-year-old pupil at a high school. You can see she just has a crush on him, where his feelings are much creepier towards her. But the fact that she was half willing to sleep with him, doesn't mean that he raped her. I'm sure people who have been in that situation will feel differently however. All in all a good cast helped make this movie point out several facts and good important points to be made. The fact that it wasn't graphical in the sexual scenes made it more enjoyable. As most movies concentrate on just sex. Whereas 'Indecent Seduction' focused on the emotional sides of both the pupil - who at such a young age is feeling vulnerable enough already, and the teacher. The end result was what I expected. So for people who haven't seen it, I won't spoil the ending. You can laugh, cry and sympathesie with all characters. So I recommend anyone to watch it, and see for yourself whether or not I am right with my comments.

A 14 year old girl is seduced by her teacher, who is also the football coach, and things go too far. It was a very gross film as the teacher was a pervert and a predator, but it seemed everyone blamed the innocent girl. Once it all was revealed, the entire school backed the teacher pedophile, and even the girl's own friends turned cold on her. Only her parents were supportive of her. The film just shows how miserable things can be when kids are sexually abused by elders and nothing is done about it if the adults are popular and respected.
