RobCattani I only bought this because I am a long time admirer of Kelly Brook, and after watching it, I am even more in love with her, she's a rather good actress, two accents ? Italian and Geordie, well it surprised me anyway! It goes without saying that she is easily the most beautiful woman in the world, she is simply perfect in every way, but now she can call herself a proper actress too, I am just surprised she doesn't get more big movies, there are a lot of lesser actresses getting the jobs that Kelly would be better for, I found out today that she has done an episode of E4 teen show Skins now she is better than that.The rest of the cast were all cast well, and even the usually annoying Margi Clarke was very good.All in all a good British Film, with a decent storyline and Kelly Brook, what more could you possibly want?

markymnstr I analogize this movie to a good looking meal that looks like it should taste wonderful but no matter how many bites you take you can't believe how bland it is.The sound track was appealing and livened up the atmosphere.Definitely had its moments of humor but lacked cohesive story telling. It was like there were some good scenes, but not enough to string together. A missed opportunity that could have been a take off on Bridget Jones' Diary, or even Love Actually but fell disappointingly short.Sophia, (Kelly Brook) was of course gorgeous. The cast, overall, did a commendable job.

mediaskills In 'School for Seduction' I was hoping for a northern British comedy in the mould of 'Billy Elliot' or 'The Full Monty' ... or a lesser known gem such as 'The Bare Necessities' (1996). To be fair, the film does have some well-observed moments which could make good sketches in a female-viewpoint TV comedy show such as 'Smack the Pony'. However, as a full-length feature this movie is awful. The men are one-dimensional stereotypes straight from central casting whilst the women fare little better. The real-life Tyneside women I know are, without exception, stronger, wittier and a damn sight sexier than any of the cut-outs portrayed here. The cast do their best to inject some life into the lines they're given but as each character plods her way through an entirely predictable plot line it is difficult to sustain interest. Add a plot twist which is, in the true sense of the word, incredible and the production sinks without trace. For sisterhood solidarity movies give me 'Real Women Have Curves' or 'Beauty Shop'; for Northern British comedy give me 'Brassed off' or 'Blow Dry'. 'School for Seduction' - it just sucks.

Colin Duff The long and sometimes unfairly maligned tradition of British comedy films is still alive and kicking - thanks be! I saw this film as an in-flight movie between Heathrow and JFK. There were about 8 other films that passengers could chose from including the latest Hollywood blockbusters. Given the loud laughs and cheers that broke out all round the jumbo jet just at the points where I was doing likewise there is no doubt in my mind that this film was being enjoyed by many. This is a well observed, well written and carefully crafted film. There are delightful performances from some of the cream of British light comedy actors. Dervla Kirwan, with her smouldering good looks, initially had me worried playing an averagely inhibited wife, but she carried it off and her performance gained from the difference between her appearance and behaviour. British comedies can either be too smugly Home Counties based or too self consciously "up north" but despite being based around Tyneside this film neatly avoids being obsessed by its location . This may not be high art, this may not convey any serious messages but the important task of entertaining and making people laugh, which this film does admirably, should not be underestimated.
