This is one of those "it's so bad it's good" movies. Everything that happens is fairly predictable- the whole "student falls in love with teacher and gets more and more insane throughout the movie" trope- but still fun to watch. The acting actually isn't terrible. Give it a shot if you're in the mood for a cheesy suspense movie.

Mildly entertaining

Not awful, just not good. As a horror it's awful but as a comedy it's okay. Teacher is the beat actor and that really says a lot. The concept is interesting but instead of exploding the taboo idea of a teacher-student relationship, instead, they just copy every other obsession movie. The last act of the film is really bad.
Thriller or comedy??

Honestly this movie was cringe inducing, but hilarious. I was laughing the wholeeee time. Like what grown man can't fight off a 18 year old girl or resist her "seductions". This a thriller??? more like a comedy. As a thriller this movie is a 4/10 but as a comedy It is 10/10.
Predictable

NOT a thriller/psychological thriller.
It's what you expect. Dumb teacher falls for obvious manipulation from obsessed student, puts his foot down too late, full blown psycho mode ensues from said obsessed student, dumb teacher and his daughter move on.
Best scene: When Riley smashes Kyla in the face with her camera.
Worst scene: The rest of the movie.

I gave it 2 because it wasn't exactly "Ankle Biters"

1st. The writing, teenagers dont talk like that.
2nd. The worst thing I ever heard "OH THE BEATLES HERE WE GO" no. Stop. No one ever thought that loner kids listen to the Beatles.
3rd. The Dad/Teacher is an effing pig. Movie completely lost me when he didnt push her off in the truck in the first place.
4th. Why is that mother not getting the school involved?? He is an adult and she is a child.
5th. Girl, you just put your cell phone in your pocket. Then you get stabbed. Then you pull yourself across the floor instead of calling 911.
6th. You are a grown man, how come you cant karate chop the tiny exacto knife out of her hand. One of her hands is broken for Pete's sake.
7th. How did they fire up that cell phone that was broken in half to find the pictures. And if they found the pictures, how come they didnt find the texts?
8th. She slit a man's throat and stabbed someone in the gut and somehow she wasnt in jail at the end?
What was this???!

Unfortunately I can't leave zero stars. Just awful! Acting was unbelievably ridiculous. Think I finished it cause I needed to kill time for the rest of my work shift. Do yourself a favor. Don't waste your time on this.

Well, I really wanted to watch something silly that didn't require my attention. That kind of backfired. I spent the whole time being astonished at just how stupid this teacher was. No wonder his wife cheated on him. 😂😂😂
I liked it.

Quite entertaining! What we have here is a tale of four women and one obtuse male. Single dad and high school teacher Chris, moves to new city with daughter Riley to start over after bad divorce. Chris is a well buffed out 40 something complete with soft low non-threatening voice and three day growth of beard. After moving into very expensive house complete with in-ground pool (HS teachers obviously make mucho dinero in this town), he begins his new teaching gig complete with Riley in his class along with the school tart - Tricia - and the school stalker/aspiring goth - Kyla who is also the yearbook photographer and has a history of seducing teachers. Kyla straight dark hair, fair skin and low monotone voice help complete her character as the class crazy. Interestingly, Kyla totes around a 1960s vintage Nikon F camera for her yearbook duties rather than modern digital one. However, the massive heft of this old steel Nikon becomes useful in the films climax. Then it gets good!
Kyla and Tricia immediately get him in their sights for seduction. Kyla quickly eliminates all the sexual and familial competition for Chris including that of her own quite attractive mother who is also interested in the studly but dim witted teacher. Many of Kyla's attempts to manipulate Chris and her mom are so clumsy and obvious that anyone with a IQ above room temperature would see through them. However Chris and her mom fall for them each time. Chris almost falls into her web of sexual energy several times only to back off at the very last second. Without giving away the plot, its a pretty entertaining movie. Good to have a couple of drinks and a few laughs over.

This was one wacky-ass production. It also has the extremely rare distinction of featuring actors whose acting ability seems to somehow degrade and get substantially worse as the film goes on.
the setup is simple, yet somehow bungled; a high school girl, Kyla, becomes psychotically obsessed with a new sexy teacher, Chris Sumner. Rather than plod along tediously with her antics in trying to get to him, they put the pieces in play almost painfully obviously; the teacher is immediately dating Kyla's mother, and Kyla is befriending Mr Sumner's daughter, Riley. Another girl at school, Tricia, is also obsessed with him, so Kyla goes about sabotaging her life in order to get her out of the picture.
In barely any time, Kyla goes from shifty and plotting, to outright dry humping the teacher and openly flirting with him everywhere, and he puts up the absolute meekest, most low-key resistance ever, to a point where he throws himself at her in a scene that for the life of me looked and felt like a dream sequence of Kyla's, as it was way too sudden and on the nose to be real. Yet it was real.
To make it even more dramatic and exciting, in that very same scene Riley walks in on them and discovers it all. This somehow leads to Kyla distracting Mr Sumner by telling him his daughter has a drinking problem that was never before mentioned, and never brought up again.
The editing of this film makes it feel like they just flat-out removed more than half of the plot, which was probably for the best, because the remaining result is so bad it's good. It's hilarious how they just completely give up being serious half-way through, and start throwing in laugh out loud one-liners and incoherent dramatic twists.

Not great, not awful

This movie is basically a retelling of the song "Don't Stand So Close To Me," by The Police.
Note that Police lead singer Sting's real name is Gordon Sumner. The main character in the movie is Chris Sumner.
Also note that very early in the movie, one of the female students remarks about how cute Professor Sumner is and that she'll have him "Wrapped Around Her Finger" (another song by The Police) in no time.

LOLOL! Awful LOLOL! Must have been written by a 14 year old C student! Sooo much is wrong with the story. A mentally handicapped English lit teacher is pretty unique though.(no one is that stupid) If Rusty Joiner wasn't so incredibly hot I wouldn't have gotten past the first ten minutes. However, I do think the three main actors were pretty good. Especially considering the crap they had to work with. I've been telling everyone to watch it, because of how unbelievably bad the story is!
So bad it's good!

Clearly what they were going with here was as much cheese as possible (including with the title). I watched this with my husband, and we laughed from beginning to end. Everything about this movie is completely ridiculous - I'm sure the makers of it must've known how ridiculous it was. I'm glad I saw it just because of how funny it was.

This was awful. The acting actually made me angry. The psycho was so monotone it was unreal. Her voice never changed levels even when she was at her craziest. Also, we have a single dad, who is a teacher at that, affording a really nice expensive home but drives an old truck. Why is it, everyone in movies live in these model homes unless they're representing dirt poor? I don't know about you but I never had a teacher who looked like that either. One of my favorite parts was when the mom acted like her daughter was being rude for being on her cellphone, at the dinner table, while she's on a date with her teacher. Oh they had the date at home with the psycho daughter because she so gracefully spilled water on his shirt and he didnt have another one... it's water... I mean ... water. It's so bad. Then you have his daughter near death, with a stab to the gut, dragging herself through the halls but then magically gets up and fights. I also saw a flip phone, who uses a flip phone, especially a teenager today?
Hahahahaha!!!!!

Was this supposed to be a comedy? Because I laughed my ass off. If you're looking for an over-done storyline with weak plots and horrific acting, this is the one! If you're looking for laughs, this is also the one! On a serious note: Lifetime movies are better. Way better.
It's a B Movie
Dragonborn6421 September 2019
I like B movies because you lower your expectations and usually you won't be disappointed. Like this movie. It has neither a big budget or the gloss but it's entertaining if not familiar. The last shot is ridiculous but again, it is what it is.
Best, worst ever
geinslunchbox17 September 2018
This movie was so bad, it was amazing. The stereotypes, the cagey cinematography, the over the top bad acting, bad dialogue & overall hilarity was too much to "put down" as you would a bad novel. Started off hating it and the more campy & over the top it got, the more I loved it. I say if you like bad thriller cheese, give it at least 30 minutes before abandoning
WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN

"My Teacher, My Obsession" is a Lifetime style thriller. Sometimes that's exactly what I'm in the mood for. This movie scratched the itch. It was helped quite a bit by the very dreamy duo of Lucy Loken and Alexandria DeBerry. The two of them were worth the price of admission. The rest of the cast also does a nice job. The story is well told and moves at a nice pace. "My Teacher, My Obsession" is definitely worth the visit. Maybe even a revisit.
Oh dear.

The premise is fine, but the execution is shocking.
Terrible script, terrible acting.
The father is a total idiot throughout this entire thing. From the moment this girl placed her hand on his during his 'date' with her mother, he should've nipped this in the bud.
It's incredible how this girl's simple plans always seemed to come to fruition...Spill vase water on his shirt? It's ok, they can now have the date in the house...Pretend someone was looking in your first floor bedroom window? It's ok, you can now sit down stairs with with the fledgling couple... Plan to seduce him in his car? No problem it'll all fall into place...And so it goes on... People are stupid, this much is true, but rarely would you encounter so many brain dead idiots gathered together in one town as you do in this film.
Awful film. One well best avoided.
Bad all around
