Les dommages du passé

Crazy people might think this ridiculous plot of revenge is great but it sucks from the near beginning, after the girl goes nutty when he's trying to fix the sink, and he gets no red flag message!! So he happily drives around in her alleged dad's BMW, and accepts a Rolex watch from her, and gets everything the idiot deserves.

Being derivative the film makes no attempt to create genuinely believable acts of life sabotage. Instead it relies on a pathetic, weak, incredibly stupid teacher at the receiving end of implausible mishief.

Still youngish-looking high school teacher Chris Klein (as Sam Luck) has a nice suburban home. Also the possible co-owner of a diner with his best pal, Mr. Klein is happily married to sweet, understanding and attractive Tasya Teles (as Kate). Klein's luck changes quickly when seductive Merritt Patterson (as Taran Hathaway) moves into a house across the street. The mature-looking teenager begins putting the moves on Klein. She has black-and-white flashbacks to some trauma involving her mother (apparently) and a sexual companion (apparently). Incredibly, Ms. Patterson turns out to be one of Klein's high school students. Naturally, you think Klein won't easily risk his job and beautiful wife to engage with the nutty woman. Think again. Neither does anyone involved with the production do anything to make their "Damaged" assignment remotely believable, or even fun.

** Damaged (2014-11-29) Rick Bota ~ Chris Klein, Merritt Patterson, Tasya Teles, Paul DeAngelo

The best lifetime movie ever!! Every actor in this movie was on point..... Chris Klein is not only handsome but a great actor, as well as Tamaran. They work well together I would love to see them in another movie. This movie makes you think is she really "The girl next door"?

Chris Klein worse actor ever! I can act better than that! Awful!

Still can't get that scene from American Pie out of my head. But anyway. Damaged all in all isn't a bad film. Yes it starts of very much like The Confessions Of A Teacher and you're waiting for the hot girl with the smile to remove her clothing for no good reason but stick with it.

Its very cliche and so obvious every bad thing that happens in the film is the hot girl with the crush but midway through the acting improves ten fold and there's actually a backstory as to what's really going on and why. Is this just really a school girl crush? Or is it something more?

The film has a satisfying ending and that's all it needed really to take the rate above 5.0 out of 10.
