review

Oh joy! Here’s a cable production that only John Waters could enjoy. Yep, it’s hair dresser middle of the week entertainment based on the true life story of Washington State school teacher Mary Kay Letourneau (Penelope Ann Miller) who served seven years in a Washington State Prison for having an affair with a 12 year old student. This cradle robbing crazie even had two children from the little Eddie Munster look a like! Endorsed by the real life carnal convict herself, this is a shameless production that puts a sympathetic spin on the proceedings. The every male teen wet dream plays like a misunderstood tragic love story. Oprah Winfrey’s buddy, Lloyd Kramer directs this manipulative propaganda swill by the numbers. Just imagine, reverse the genders and this would of landed the production staff a nickel in the big house. Another made for TV piece of garbage called the Marie Letrourneau story was made the same year by sleazeball reality TV producer Michael Shevloff. Just more proof that mainstream media has rotted our brains and brought about the Apocalypse.
