Dangereuse alchimie

I started out fine it until the Elizabeth Berkley character got arrested for being attacked by a student. I wanted to fast forward through the rest of it after that. My wife left the room because of the stupidity. The child would have been questioned more deeply that he was. As a former investigator with the State's child services, I can say that would not have happened the way this movie writers claim it would have happened.A more investigative questioning would have been performed. The police in this are as dumb as a box of hammers. Also, when she reported the assault, the attacker would have been arrested immediately. She was at the hospital for crying out loud.If I could rate it "S" for stupid movie I would have.I'm sitting here typing this stuff while the movie is on hoping it will end and thinking about fast forwarding it to the end and watching something else. I am watching Lifetime movie club on Amazon by the way.

Student Seduction is a wonderful movie.

At first when i saw Elizabeth Berkley was in it, I thought it would be another reprise of her performance in Showgirls, which was to say totally awful.

But then when i watched it i realized it was a new and improved Elizabeth Berkley. Which i thought was wonderful. She went from Saved by the Bell to Showgirls and now Student Seduction.

Its a wonderful movie.

10/10

This should have been a 15 minute movie. I gave it an extra star because the movie did not actually cause me physical pain.

What school on the planet would allow a student to behave the way Josh did, and get away with it? Furthermore, why was the principal so creepy? Her facial expression and tone of voice were disturbing.

Where did those police detectives get their training?

Why did Josh sound like a serial killer throughout the whole movie? Is there something wrong with his voice?

How did he know where his Chem teacher lived? And how did he get in?

This story stunk,in my opinion. I didn't even want to waste my time watching the end. I came here and read about it instead. I can see I didn't miss out on anything.

I saw "Student Seduction" on Lifetime this evening for the first time, and I enjoyed it very much. I felt Elizabeth Berkeley was great as the chemistry teacher, and Corey Sevier did a nice job as Josh. I tried to put myself in the teacher's position, and think how I would react to such false allegations that the student was in fact guilty of performing. This would not be easy, especially for a first-year teacher dealing with a wealthy student. I was pleased when other students came forward in the teacher's defense, because she did not deserve to be assaulted by someone whom she was trying to help succeed but who misinterpreted her intentions.

This is a story that could take place in real life. I think it sends a message to teachers and school faculty to be careful in your interactions with your students, and avoid being alone with them whenever possible. Also, stand up for your rights! Do this no matter what profession you are in, and have supporting evidence and sources. Great movie!

Pretty chemistry teacher Elizabeth Berkley (as Christie Dawson) offers to tutor handsome student Corey Sevier (as Joshua "Josh" Gaines) after school. Used to having his way with women, Mr. Sevier makes sexual advances, which Ms. Berkley refuses. Persistence leads to accusations... This is a very predictable story, but refreshing in that it does not follow the path you are initially expecting; this makes the title "Student Seduction" highly misleading. Credit should be given to director Peter Svatek and a fine cast, for keeping performances appropriate. In particular, Berkley is attractive without being seductive. Sevier and Sarah Allen (as Jenna) do well as the students. Unfortunately, we are treated to obvious plot plants throughout. You will be able to spot future "witnesses" easily, along with the behavior which could prove to be the perpetrator's undoing.

**** Student Seduction (5/5/03) Peter Svatek ~ Elizabeth Berkley, Corey Sevier, Rick Roberts, Sarah Allen
