** 1/2 (out of 4)

Italian sex comedy has a nerdy virgin named Franco (Alfredo Pea) has so much sex on his mind that he begins to fail at school so his parents hire him a teacher (Edwige Fenech) to help but the sexy woman just makes it worse. His parents inform the teacher that he's gay, which the son decides to play along with in hopes that the teacher will try to "change" him. This was my first stab at this genre and if you were offended or found the American teen/sex movies to be dumb then you'd best stay far away from this thing. This movie is so incredibly over the top that I couldn't help but feel things were just too stupid for their own good. We have farts being set on fire, which is just the start of what happens. The film is far from a bad one but at the same time I really don't see too many people enjoying it. I think the biggest draw is going to be fans of the beauty Fenech who once again shows that she's too good for the material. She acts circles around everyone else in the cast and manages to turn in a very funny performance even though she's just shown as the piece of meat. Her beauty certainly can't be questioned and she has several nude scenes to show off even more. Pea is decent in his role but the character is just too annoying for us to really like. The comedy is very low brow and that includes many jokes about gay people, which certain groups will be offended by. The jokes are rather mean spirited as well and there's also jokes towards suicide and rape. The majority of the film has the student forcing himself on the teacher, which might not go over too well in America but if you don't take the film too serious and you're a fan of the star then just sit back and enjoy the movie for what it is.
