Absolutely Fantastic

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

****CONTAINS SPOILERS****Any imaginative viewer could create the entire movie based on the title alone. Todd has a crush on his attractive math tutor, played by Tia Carrere who is to acting what candy sprinkles are to a cupcake: they don't add much except the aesthetics. You are waiting for the moment when she goes au naturel, after which you turn off the movie and go to sleep. There wasn't much after that, not that there was much before that to begin with, in that it doesn't really deliver on that premise of the suggestive title. If you had your Vaseline ready, you'd be disappointed. The best scene for me was the soccer scene where his friend Faber is the incomparably inept goalkeeper. It was an actually funny stretch. You wonder why he ditches his equally attractive girlfriend to bed his married tutor, considering how bad things could get and did get. For good measure, his dreams of going to Harvard never materialize. Karma, maybe? Oh, I can suggest a title for the sequel, "My teacher's wife's even hotter teenage sister."

If Tia Carrere was my math tutor, I want to study too. She is the epitome of beauty. A great smile, piercing eyes, long legs, and most important of all, she thinks of herself as just another girl. She isn't, but it's nice anyway. Much has been made of the sex scenes, but Tia was never very comfortable with body, until she was the Playboy cover girl of January 2003, if that's what you are looking for. This is a passable movie that isn't the raunchy romp that the exploitive cover art makes it out to be. Zak Orth is the center of a more emotional movie. It's that odd combination that brings the movie down. It succeeds as neither. Mute it and watch Tia, unless you feel more like getting in touch with your feelings.

This movie holds true to many people remember those high school days in which many of us teenage boys had a crush on certain female teachers we liked. Change it some put yourself in the shoes of a struggling calculus student who has his tough teacher climbing his neck and dreams of a college scholarship about to go in flames. Never fear an accident meeting with the sexy Tia Carrere who later turns out to be his teacher's wife! Not only does Tia take the young student through winning calculus training but a passionate romance develops. Only when the student has his teacher find out it all ends and a life lesson is learned and back to normal life. This movie shows that our fantasies can come true but they don't last and we must live our basic life. I watched this movie on USA one night late though it's not a great movie it's good due to the story and the beautiful Tia Carrere.

This undemanding comedy has some good moments, but in the end, it's a forgettable film. This movie certainly was fun at times, but the story was ordinary and not particularly original. The reasonably well-known cast does a pretty good job, but the script didn't provide them with an abundance of good material. So, I suppose this is a decent choice the next time that you want to see a film, but I still urge you to look for something better.
