For My Daughter's Honor

This is one of my old favorite movies I've been watching it for years. And it's also good to use as a tool of what teens should and should not do, what signs to look for with this kind of abuse that happens from older people of power, especially teachers. "My daughter's honor", I never did agree with that title because this isn't the movie where a parent fights for her daughter, in fact it isn't until the end of the movie that the parents actually find out and do something! So again "indecent seduction" is a much better title! What annoys me most about the movie is how this sick man had a pattern of abuse with his students for years, all the students knew, the staff and other teachers knew and did Nothing! So sad how that happens more often than not, and the fact that this is based on a true story makes it all the more disturbing. I thought Gary Cole and Nicholle Tom did excellent jobs with these roles. You can really feel the characters! I still can't wrap my mind around how this young girl's parents let her go to a rock concert and spend the night at this man's house regardless that she supposed to be hanging with the daughter, they never even met his daughter or knew her to be one of the daughters friends! So to me that was an instant red flag and then after the rumors of her and the coach having an affair the dad still allows her to go camping with this Man's family!? Absolutely disgusting, are we that naive folks!? Again this movie serves as an excellent tool to have you keep an eye on your kids!

This movie was shown on Lifetime as For My Daughter's Honor. I had a hard time watching Gary Cole playing this part. He did a believable job, but I think the fact that the school kept brushing it off and his wife never seemed to notice just made me squirm. I think the girl who played Amy did a good job, but her character didn't seem to have enough backbone to get out of a bad situation. It would be good to use to make girls aware of what's appropriate and what's not.

This movie was filmed at my high school my junior year!!! I remember it was so much fun filming! I am even in the class room scene...I am the girl that looks up at the clock when the bell rings...hehehe! The female leads were all really mean to us (they called us "Well-Fare Peasants") but, hey what can I say that was like 10 years ago, we were all a litter meaner in high school! I even had to make out with my boyfriend at the time on the front lawn of the school....good times!!! I will always be able to watch this movie and remember high school! PS: Two teachers were fired for doing the same thing "Coach Nash" did a few years later...talk about "art imitating life" this was "Life imitating Art!"

A 14 year old girl is seduced by her teacher, who is also the football coach, and things go too far. It was a very gross film as the teacher was a pervert and a predator, but it seemed everyone blamed the innocent girl. Once it all was revealed, the entire school backed the teacher pedophile, and even the girl's own friends turned cold on her. Only her parents were supportive of her. The film just shows how miserable things can be when kids are sexually abused by elders and nothing is done about it if the adults are popular and respected.

Very thought provoking, without being overly sexually explicit. At 16, Amy is unusually overly innocent. She would be menstruating, therefore would have some knowledge of sex. However, the teacher (coach Nash) being a known paedophile should not have been allowed to teach. He had already had a 'run in' with the school over a previous relationship the year before with another female student. The school were aware of his preoccupation with female students and should have been keeping an eye on him, plus he should have been reported the previous year. His sentence was incredibly light. Amy's parents handled the situation well, the school failed them, the other students failed her. Amy gets my vote for her determination to see justice prevail.
