| You get to see "My Lovely Sam Soon" star herself, Kim Seon-Ah, before she packed on the weight for the epic TV show. She is still chubby, but in the appropriate hot teacher role. Things that are funny in this movie: the way the kids obsess with anything involving girls reminds you of the pool scene in "The Sandlot" where the guy drowns on purpose just so he could kiss the lifeguard. Lots of awkward scenes involve trying sneak in porn and crushing on the teacher. The main character's goal is to get the teacher to kiss them to win a bet. Out of this is the whole movie with a subplot about an older teacher that used to be Kim Seon-Ah's tutor. Things are awkward in a "Wonder Years" sort of way but not as rewarding.
With a title like this, you'd expect some raunchy jokes or some tasteful nudity, but there was only one naughty joke and it involved Whiteout. The title is as misleading as the Japanese movie "Swing Girls" which was about a jazz band. It is even harder to believe the story because the kids actually look like kids, not adults playing kids. You can't even believe that the teacher would bat an eye at them, although there was one scene where she looks away from the camera and you start to wonder, but that scene quickly passes. There are no major hook ups shown or cared about. If you need a korean "American Pie", go for "Sex Is Zero." |
