For My Daughter's Honor

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh, if you could just take a seat right over there, that'd be greeeeeeaaaaaat.

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.

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.

Nicholle Tom (of Beethoven fame) is excellent as a 14-year-old pupil at a high school. You can see she just has a crush on him, where his feelings are much creepier towards her. But the fact that she was half willing to sleep with him, doesn't mean that he raped her. I'm sure people who have been in that situation will feel differently however. All in all a good cast helped make this movie point out several facts and good important points to be made. The fact that it wasn't graphical in the sexual scenes made it more enjoyable. As most movies concentrate on just sex. Whereas 'Indecent Seduction' focused on the emotional sides of both the pupil - who at such a young age is feeling vulnerable enough already, and the teacher. The end result was what I expected. So for people who haven't seen it, I won't spoil the ending. You can laugh, cry and sympathesie with all characters. So I recommend anyone to watch it, and see for yourself whether or not I am right with my comments.
