Review of My Tutor

My Tutor (1983)
6/10
FOR WHAT IT IS--pretty good
15 April 2005
A rich man (Kevin McCarthy) hires a tutor for his teenage son (Matt Lattanzi). Naturally she's a beautiful woman. He's a virgin and wants to sleep with her. She won't and most of the movies involves his "humorous" attempts to have sex with other women.

This was a mild hit up the theatres but exploded on cable TV. During the summer of 1984 this played constantly--that's how I caught it. Now this is basically a silly teen sex comedy but surprisingly well made. There's top-notch production values and the film looks just great. It's also pretty mild (this played uncut on commercial TV in my town) and pleasant to watch on a lazy summer night.

Still that doesn't make this a good movie. Believing Lattanzi is a teenager is ridiculous (he's pretty obviously in his 20s) and most of the humor is just silly. But, for a teen sex comedy, this is pretty enjoyable. Also Lattanzi is very handsome and has a nice body. Also look for a pretty funny parody of the "plastics" sequence from "The Graduate". I was REALLY surprised to see that in a movie like this! Turn off your brain and you'll like it. I give it a 6.
