For My Daughter's Honor

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.

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

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.

I'll watch any 90s after school special. The acting wasn't as bad as most others. There were however a lot of scenes that felt unnecessary, and others that just never led anywhere. While the movie had a decent duration, it ended so abruptly. Was really hoping for more of an ending. Everyone that was cast did a good job. Subject matter is obviously uncomfortable and its difficult as a viewer to not become infuriated.

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!"
