    So Wrong

    Absolutely one of the worst it's so poorly acted the actors are recycled from a host of other "Wrong" movies ... This one is just plain wrong on every level
    2agreenskeeperscorp

    Frumpy student. Frumpy teacher.

    These two were made for ea. Other. There is nothing sexy about teacher. And the same goes for the Student. A goofy looking bad acting kid. And a woman who looks like she just woke up in every seen. UGH! Wouldn't screwing ANYBODY in your classroom be a fire able offense anyways, student, or no student? This movie is only watchable if you like comedies, or bad acting. I lost a million brain cells in 2 hours without drinking, or using drugs. She plays detective (once again) and it just so happens the doofus leaves his door unlocked. She breaks an entering. Has sex with a student. Cheats on her boyfriend and somehow is the victim?? Eh boy!

    Good for this "Perfect" series

    Surprisingly this one is quite enjoyable and plausible. With all the student teacher liaisons recently it's timely. The story is a teacher sleeps with a younger guy she meets in a bar. Unknown to her he turns out to be her new student. She ought to have known from the creepy smile. Jessica Morris is the teacher. Eric Roberts and Vivica Fox are supporting characters.

    Things unfold quite plausible without getting too ridiculous like some of these TV Thrillers.

    Worth a watch.

    The title should be changed to "The Wrong Actors"

    My girlfriend forced me to watch this with her. She now owes me - big time. Could be some of the worst acting ever, even by Lifetime's standards. I've seen better acting at my second grader's Christmas play. Whoever did the casting should "never work in this town again"...The ENTIRE cast was horrible. To think: these actors auditioned and (presumably) more than one person said, "Nailed it! You've got the part!" I've angrily scratched my head so much thinking about how that could have possibly happened that I made a hole in my skull and the pieces of my brain that got fried watching this garbage just fell on the floor.

    Frisky English teacher

    Jessica Morris who has to start teaching the next day high school English as the fall semester starts had a spat with boyfriend artist Jason Shane Scott. So she's feeling frisky and picks up Tom Cruise lookalike Philip McElroy. I mean the Tom Cruise we knew back in Risky Business.

    The next day she discovers he's in her class and that starts all kinds of trouble. Of course McElroy has some issues, in his case issues of abandonment as you'll see in the film.

    I hope Tom Cruise sees how much McElroy resembles and they're cast as father and son.

    Otherwise put this one in the exploitive trash column.
