Indecent Seduction

Excellent movie! Very well done.The story takes place in fictional Tate High School in fictional Tate, Okalahoma, but this is a true story and it all happened in Taylor, Texas and is based on a magazine article cited in the movie credits.Gary Cole portrays a highschool football Coach who seems to have never grown up, which Cole depicts in the movie as a mature man driving a teenager's type of pickup truck and behaving like a 17 year old himself with his flirting and worse, as well as providing the kids he liked with liquor.In the movie, the Coach's method was to single out a young girl in his Biology class every year, always a freshman, whom he lavished with special attention and privileges, and then intentionally manipulated and coerced into a brief sexual affair that, once ended, left the teenage girl stunned and shunned by her classmates. The irony of the story is that the Coach became completely obsessed with the last young girl he'd ever fool around with, played by Nicholle Tom, and his desperate actions to keep her to himself and control her brought him down.Cole's portrayal of the Coach was his usual perfect performance and Nicholle Tom was riveting as the innocent young girl who was lured by flattering attention into a situation she didn't know how to stop. The theme song, "Oh What a Thrill", by the Mavericks, stays in your mind long after you've watched this movieIndecent Seduction was well done, careful to not get graphic, and portrayed the characters honestly enough. The Coach pled guilty to a class of misdemeanor that kept him from a long prison sentence as well as allowing him to avoid graphic testimony in open court.The young girl's parents, played exactly right by Mary Kay Place and Mac Davis, particularly Mary Kay Place as the mother, showed them to be massively stressed out and dissatisfied with the sentence the Coach received. Both the girl and her parents were very courageous in not giving up on bringing not only the Coach to justice but the highschool Principal and Board of Education as well. They made history in Texas and Supreme Court case law as well, which provides a basis today for the protection of students from sexual predators and abuse of power by school teachers and administrators all over the country.

As a secondary English teacher, I know about the dangers regarding teacher/student relationships. Teachers want to show students that they care, and students often need to feel like there are trustworthy adults in their lives who can assist them.However, some people can exploit these needs for their own twisted purposes."Indecent Seduction" is a true story about a young girl in a rural school who is victimized by her science teacher, Coach Nash. Nash's charisma masks a perverted mentality in which he manipulates young girls for his own satisfaction. It is truly shocking the amount of thhings this man was allowed to get away with! Those who try to report him are ignored because of Nash's masterful coaching techniques. How sad that some school systems care about prestige instead of their students! Don't get me started!This movie is heartwrenching, but there is a ray of hope as well. The actors/actresses do very well in their roles, and Gary Cole is particularly convincing as the coach. Please give this movie a chance. God bless you.

This is a movie that is based on a true story about a High School teacher/football coach that uses his power and authority to seduce a 14 yr girl that is his student which is the extremely sad part of this movie but do to the events that took place laws were put into effect to prevent things like this from happening which is very good.This is a very good movie with a very talented cast.My absolute favorite Gary Cole movie.

I love the Lifetime true story movies. "Indecent Seduction" was one I have watched several times and really liked it. Perfect actors to play each character.Gary Cole and Nicholle Tom were great, I was crying for Nicholle(Amy) as her teacher and football coach did every trick in the book to "love" her and minipulate her. But a small town known for their football team was what was most important. She tried to get her life back and the whole town came down on her when coach got arrested. And he got prison time for a guilty plea. Glad to see a law passed to protect these kids.

I saw Idecent Seduction on Lifetime three times. Idecent Seduction is my favorite movie. I love the acting and the song O What a Thrill by The Mavericks. Indecent Seduction is the first Gary Cole movie that I saw on Lifetime

My husband and I loved this movie. It was filmed in our highschool back when we attended. I am one of the brunette cheerleaders and he is the redhead with the letterman jacket who glares at her car toward the end. Fun Fun. Anyone who attended the real "Tate" highschool will enjoy this film.

Good movie

This is one of Gary Coles' strange movie because he was a child molester. It was a good story though to help parents of kids to realize that this goes on a lot.

okay
