ThiefHott Too much of everything

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Leofwine_draca THE TEACHER is a typical exploitation flick put out by Crown International Pictures. It's cheap and grainy, shot on the fly with the bare vestiges of a proper storyline and plenty of padding to get it up to feature length. The story is mainly romance-focused, with a senior school student getting it on with his sexy teacher, as played by Angel Tompkins who is about a decade older than her character. Inevitably in the 1970s era this turns out to be a skin flick, with lots of dressing and undressing and unnecessary shower scenes. Even with all of the associated drama this plot only comes to half length, so there's an extensive sub-plot in which the teacher is pursued by this creepy psycho guy; this is more interesting than the romance, but still very slow-moving.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) If you want a guilty pleasure, this movie is it! It's natural for a student to have a crush on a teacher, especially the one you had on your senior year in high school. There is one teacher, Diane Marshall (Angel Tompkins) who was not only a teacher, she is the neighbor of her now former student, Sean Roberts (Jay North). Sean, is a quiet and reserved young man, who hangs out with his friend, Lou (Rudy Herrera, Jr.). They go out to the harbor where the teacher take her boat out. But she's also being watched by Lou's brother, Ralph (Anthony James), a former military man who has an unhealthy obsession with the teacher. During the day, Ralph catches them spying on the teacher, and Lou is accidentally killed. In the meantime, Diane began to set her sights on Sean. She was married to a drifter, and was never around her. So she became bored, and love-starved. Sean was very shy, but later on, Diane began to open him up more. In a nice afternoon scene, she has her shower after a day in the pool. Sean gets a lesson in love he'll never forget. Even though reluctant, he gave in to her, without a fight. But they have to be cautious, Lou's crazy brother stalks the couple, and Sean manages to send him back. A very intense movie here. It's great for all the cult followers out there. Recommendable! 4 out of 5 stars

latinofans This time-waster only proves not all child actors can make the transition to adult "acting". Jay North is unintentionally absurd in this low-grade loser. This former "menace" got no help from the "director" especially in his scene with "the teacher" trying to get him to drink a beer with her. His reactions to her are hysterical! If you're a heterosexual male, you may find B-Movie actress Angel Tompkins appealing enough to keep you awake. I won't go into the plot, as every other reviewer has already told you it. The picture looks like it was shot in 8mm with almost every scene being a "master" shot-very few closeups- little camera movement, bad lighting, not to mention the ridiculous dialog. To really enjoy a "It's so bad it's good" movie, it cannot be boring. This is just really bad!

amosduncan_2000 I saw this at a drive-in in high school and it really taught me a lesson in the lower depths of blah banality. This is one of those movies that's like a porn film with the sex taken out. James had quite a career, but it's amazing he lowered himself to do this movie. Not that he was a star. I guess he just liked working. What else can I say? Angel Thompkins got to be in a couple of studio films. She started in soaps, apparently. Yawn. Jay North. Well, let's face it, "Dennis The Menace" wasn't exactly a great sit com in the first place. She mostly did garbage TV. Anyway, it would have been a better world if "The Teacher" had never been made, but I guess it doesn't make much difference in the long run.
