School for Seduction (2004)

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Better Late Then Never

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This is a movie for women. If you are expecting a teenage sex comedy romp with gratuitous nudity, this is not your film.Kelly Brook sporting a bad Italian accent-yes? comes to Newcastle and opens up a school for seduction. It is in part a confidence school for the women, who try what they learn in class at home, but without the kind of results that they hoped for. The results border on comedy and tragedy as the women come to terms that the problems in their life have nothing to do with their ability to seduce. For the guys you might want to check out Kelly Brook stroking a broom handle. There is no full frontal female nudity, just male from behind nudity.The frequent use of boring Italian music soundtrack was too much to endure. The movie is not hilarious or brilliant. The cockney accents were so thick, that at times I had difficulty understanding the dialogue, for what it was worth. Gals, do your guy a favor and don't make him watch this movie as all men are stupid and self-centered (so what else is new?).

I don't remember laughing so much at any film! There are just so many good scenes, with great acting, moments of silence, surprised looks and just funny, funny.Most of that comes from the great writing, but all the actors have to do their stuff too, and they do, even the males who mostly are made out to be total idiots, and up themselves.It starts out in Italy where a bunch of girls are being taught, one of them is Sophia, (Kelly Brook) who promptly walks out on her stupid husband and heads back to Newcastle, England, where she was brought up and went to school.She sets up similar school, to teach woman to be themselves, and gets some really interesting clients, mostly women whose partners don't seem to appreciate them. It helps the film that all the women are stunningly beautiful, and the guys are also quite good looking.Emily Woof, Dervla Kirwan are great, and Tim Healy as a middle-aged guy and his wife give a different, and funny, slant on proceedings. Ben Porter is Toni, a drag queen. This guy has real talent, his song and dance scene is so good I'd love to see more!Nearly a ten rating, but the last few minutes get a bit too serious.

I only bought this because I am a long time admirer of Kelly Brook, and after watching it, I am even more in love with her, she's a rather good actress, two accents ? Italian and Geordie, well it surprised me anyway! It goes without saying that she is easily the most beautiful woman in the world, she is simply perfect in every way, but now she can call herself a proper actress too, I am just surprised she doesn't get more big movies, there are a lot of lesser actresses getting the jobs that Kelly would be better for, I found out today that she has done an episode of E4 teen show Skins now she is better than that.The rest of the cast were all cast well, and even the usually annoying Margi Clarke was very good.All in all a good British Film, with a decent storyline and Kelly Brook, what more could you possibly want?

Every once in a while, I like to sit back and watch a "chick flick." Writer/Director Sue Heel's first effort was mostly enjoyable as a time passer, but there is nothing special to recommend it.Kelly Brook (House of 9) was exquisite as the Italian beauty the opened up a school for charm and seduction for ordinary London housewives. I assume it was London, but what do I know. I am still trying to figure out what a "chippy" is. She was far less believable as her secret is revealed in the third act.It was a funny story of men/woman problems, and how a little conversation would serve us all well in our relationships.I am still trying to figure out why this got an "R" rating. Did I fall asleep?
