The downside to its home in the 1950s, though, is that it still exhibits some old-fashioned sexism of its own.
After opening with Jan's fantasies about marriage to powerful men it's no surprise to see that reality approaching in the form of one of the boy's very wealthy father. Will she fall for his charms and pocketbook? Or will she fall for the cantankerous male teacher who wasn't too keen on her presence? Either way, she has to fall in love with one of them. This mid-80s period comedy looks, for all intents and purposes, like just another teen sex comedy.
