The movie My Tutor is a classic 80s teen comedy. It revolves around the character of Bobby Chrystal (Matt Lattanzi), a rich and spoiled teenager who is failing his classes at school. In order to rectify this, his father hires a beautiful and intelligent tutor, Terry Green (Caren Kaye), to help him pass his exams. Bobby is initially resistant to the idea of having a tutor and sees it as a punishment from his father. However, on meeting Terry, he is immediately smitten and starts to fall in love with her. Terry, on the other hand, is strictly professional and tries to keep their relationship as student and teacher.
However, as Bobby continues to spend time with Terry, he starts to learn more than just his schoolwork. He learns about life, love, and the complexities of relationships. As the two start to bond, Bobby becomes more and more desperate to win Terry's heart. Despite the fact that she is several years older than him, Bobby is determined to prove to her that age is just a number.
As the movie progresses, their relationship becomes more complicated, with both Terry and Bobby realizing that their feelings for each other might be more than just a student-teacher crush. However, they both struggle with the societal expectations and prejudices against their age difference.
The movie also introduces a subplot involving Bobby's father (played by Kevin McCarthy) and his relationship with Terry's mother. This secondary storyline provides additional tension and depth to the plot.
Throughout the movie, there are also plenty of laughs, as Bobby's quirky personality clashes with Terry's buttoned-up demeanor. They go on awkward dates, and Bobby does everything he can to impress Terry, including hilariously attempting to learn French in one day.
Overall, My Tutor is a fun and lighthearted movie that captures the essence of teenage love and angst. The performances by Lattanzi and Kaye are both convincing, and their chemistry on screen is tangible. The movie has its moments of cheesiness, but ultimately, it's a feel-good film that will appeal to fans of quirky 80s comedies.
My Tutor is a 1983 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 37 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.2 and a MetaScore of 17.
