My Tutor (1983)
4/10

It really gets me how these teenage comedies concerning young men losing their virginity is always cast with kids who look they should have no problem in that direction. Certainly that would be the case with both Matt Lattanzi and Clark Brandon. As for Crispin Glover who is best known for being George McFly in Back To The Future he's just comic relief in any event.

These three just graduated and both Glover and Lattanzi just can't quite get it done. Lattanzi has another problem he's failed French and so his father Kevin McCarthy gets him a French tutor with Caren Kaye. That proves to be quite the education.

My Tutor has a few comic moments. Maybe the best performances are Lattanzi's clueless mother Arlene Golonka and Bruce Bauer as Kaye's typical Reagan era venture capitalist. The idea for him is speculation is the way to make millions. He's almost a prototype for the 80s.

A bit better than some of these films, but no great shakes.
