Dirty Teacher

It says it was based on a true story and I understand that doesnt mean everything happened but I googled the heck out of it and can't find anything that it was based on and nothing seems to say what exact story it's based on.

Yes, even by the low standards of Lifetime's formulaic, crime dramas, this one is bad. Horrible Fatal Attraction rip-off (and there have been many of those) with no surprises, high school drama club-level acting and a terrible script. Don't let the title fool you--this is tame, TV-14 (I would have rated it PG) level stuff. In fact, it plays like one of those old, Afterschool Movies (don't have sex with your teacher, kids!) with just a bit of racy/violent stuff thrown in. Lifetime has made a few, somewhat-decent time-killers, but this is not one of them. I should have checked the IMDb rating before watching this crud, but it was on Amazon Prime (home of a lot of terrible movies), so I thought "why not." I owe the move one thing along those lines, though: after watching it, I decided not to subscribe to AP after my free trial ends, so Dirty Teacher ended up saving me $10.99 a month.

As I said earlier in one of my reviews today the lead headline in Britain today is a sleazy tale of a male teacher who eloped to France with his 15 year old girlfriend from class . After seeing the title I thought that's a very quick biopic , some of these film companies must have a superhuman ability to make a movie . As it turned out this wasn't a true life drama about a teacher abusing their trust in the worst way possible because if DIRTY TEACHER is a true life story I'd be applying to go back to school in America

Of course if this was role reversal where the teacher was male and the pupil was female it'd be an entirely different film . I'm also guessing there's a problem with the casting . Imagine if the producer cast some grotesque goblin as Ms Molly Matson ? Again it'd be an entirely different film as Ms Matson tries to seduce Danny . If teenage boy were to be entirely honest they'd say that they probably find a Gorgon sexually attractive . As it stands Ms Matson is played by Josie Davis who is stunningly attractive , so much so that if Ms Matson offered a teenage boy sex he'd happily start without her . Perhaps mindful of this the story concerns itself with Danny's girlfriend Jamie being the victim of Ms Matson's twisted desire . It is after all a TVM produced for a female audience and a male audience who watch it will think back to their schooldays and lament that life isn't fair

Is the winner in this silly movie about teacher seducing a student. Josie Davis being the teacher, you can't blame the student. She is looking good in tight skirts and blouses and those batting eyes. The opposite is the student's girlfriend who is a plain Jane in looks and character. She seems to be in another world. So, it's not a surprise that the male student wanted something more attractive and exciting. The rest of the cast, including the student, fail to live up to Ms Davis' performance.

I rate this movie only for the presence of Josie Davis. Not the script, acting, directing. I give it a 6 for Josie.

When a high school English literature teacher takes maternity leave, substitute Josie Davis (as Molly Matson) arrives to fill out the year. She also fills out some tight skirts and blouses. Possibly psycho, due to weird flashbacks from an ugly childhood, Ms. Davis shows ample cleavage and a lot of leg. This teacher is so obviously looking for sex; we wonder why the administration didn't observe her more closely. There are dozens of older looking "teenagers" who notice Davis peddling her services. She watches handsome baseball star Cameron Deane Stewart (as Danny Campbell) at practice, and decides he is to be her seduction...

This is the same plot as several TV movies, which seem to be recycled with one or two changes in character and setting. "Dirty Teacher" could have been improved by leaving off the "tease" opening, since it hints at an event which could (or should) be more uncertain. Also, Mr. Stewart is the conflicted protagonist instead of the one you're expecting, college-focused girlfriend Kelcie Stranahan (as Jamie Hall). The story doesn't make much of this, but it makes the movie's structure more interesting. The story sticks to formula and all the players, including director Doug Campbell and his crew, essay their roles well.
