Elizabeth Berkeley played a cool chick for a teacher. The one flaw is that it ended too soon. What we should have seen was whether Josh Gaines eventually makes it to school or ends up in juvenile hall and black- balled. However, most importantly of all, as Ken Bowden says, if you put a cool, attractive chick and Josh Gaines in front of a jury, "they're gonna look stupid. They know it". Even though it was Rochester and not Blue Bay, I still opine Ken Bowden would have done a far better job compared to the attorney hired. Anyone who watched Wild Things would see through Josh Gaines. In addition, the school administrators should have kept Wild Things in mind as well as Mary Kay Letourneau. If they did and they had half a brain, they would have seen straight through Josh Gaines' statement.

Can you people please help me out? I really need to know what the name of the song is that was played at the beginning of this movie, the song took place when she was sitting in the bed grading her classmates paper work and then her and her husband starts to make love and once that starts out so does the song. So if anyone knows what the name of that song is please help me I really need to know. I loved that song so much it touched me; and also to let you all know I have also seen this movie five times. Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network are the two main things I watch. I am also really into true stories. But please if anyone knows the name help me out. (I also got to watch this movie yesterday night once again- still no luck of guessing the name of that song)

There are a couple of prior comments here which opine about this flick's abundance of clichés throughout -- and I agree completely, both with regard to the characters AND the dialog.I'd read about Elizabeth Berkly's awful performance in the equally-awful "Showgirls," which I've never seen - and her performance here, while not awful, is barely up to the standards of Lifetime's worse fare. There was not a hint of depth to her character, but then there probably shouldn't have been. If so, it would have placed the film completely out-of-balance, since there wasn't a hint of depth or charisma - not a trace - in any one character, performer, or portrayal.The principal's handling of Liz's initial complaint after her tutee had kissed her in the hall was laughable. Her husband's initial reaction and advice were likewise (Forrest Gump, attacking Jenny's boyfriend in his car provided a more realistic, intelligent action, and, hell, he was mentally-challenged).The smarmy, unctuous lawyer (excuse the redundancy) father of the lying student actually performed something probably worthy of praise in his performance: he was both laughable and thoroughly annoying at the same time, no mean feat. Her attorney was more of an insensitive nerd, also not unknown in the profession.Finally (and frankly, I rather enjoyed this part), the police were such a collection of insensitive oafs, that you'd rather depend upon Barney Fife, without Andy, to handle all law enforcement and investigation in your community. I know that most real-like cops fall a bit short of the sharpness, intelligence and empathy of the level displayed by most characters on the "Law and Order" series', and the like -- but dolts of this level seem to be a staple on "Lifetime."Finally, I found a kind of "story within a story" fascination with Josh's concoction of his being the "victim" of his teacher. This scripted performance within the story was even worse than his overall performance in the main story. This was something of an achievement, like going from "F" to "F-minus."This whole lame situation should have been resolved - in real life - in about 15 minutes, following a realistic meeting between teacher and school authorities, with husband involved. But then that would have precluded the contrived drama following, and left an hour's blank film in the camera. But the writer(s) here, proved with their ending, they could do even worse. When the situation was finally "resolved" and "righted," this was accomplished in all of about 45 seconds, with no indication of what measures might have been forthcoming in any "real world" context for the perpetrator and his parents, or whether they might have been able to find some sort of path toward redemption.This one's a 2* presentation; the second "*" because it does have some mild "fascination."

Student Seduction is a wonderful movie.At first when i saw Elizabeth Berkley was in it, I thought it would be another reprise of her performance in Showgirls, which was to say totally awful. But then when i watched it i realized it was a new and improved Elizabeth Berkley. Which i thought was wonderful. She went from Saved by the Bell to Showgirls and now Student Seduction. Its a wonderful movie.10/10
