Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film arrived at peak '80s tutor fantasy saturation, sandwiched between Private Lessons and My Stepmother Is an Alien. The genre died when fax machines made homework help less cinematic.
Matt Lattanzi was Olivia Newton-John's husband at the time, making this technically a Grease extended universe film if you squint hard enough.
