School for Seduction (2004)

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Blistering performances.

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?

This brilliant film is typical of the low budget type involving no special effect or set and needing no well known actors. It is in the same style as 4 weddings and a funeral, letter to Brezhnev, the full Monty, groundhog day, etc. very well written, funny and uplifting. A group of friends are in dead end jobs or relationships or suffer chronic lack of self confidence and are shown how to act the part even if they can't be the part until their life really changes. Can't understand the low rating some people gave it. This is way above the general popular run of the mill, blockbuster for sheer enjoyment and actually tells you something useful too. Added to that it is spoken in broad Geordie, my favourite accent in the world. Feminists might hate it for the mixed messages on sexuality, partly about female empowerment, partly about looking good for your man. I think it comes down decidedly on the former side.

I was dragged along to see School For Seduction by my girlfriend who was dying to see the film. I have to say, I'm glad I went!The film was highly entertaining, and not just because I was able to watch Kelly Brook seduce everything from a broomstick to a room full of salivating men (a lot better than watching miss jones wibbling into her diary about hugh grant, I can tell you!). There was more than enough laughs, an engaging plot and some good emotional parts (for the ladies, of course).So, if you want to earn yourself some brownie points with that special lady in your life, take her to see School For Seduction (and you won't have to suffer the usual drawl that your average chick-flick spits out)

(3/10)So obviously made as a female take on 'The Full Monty', this film is so carefully constructed according to a 'formula' that all life has been almost totally sucked out of it (except for the actress who plays the checkout girl, she's pretty good). Typically British, unadventurous, predictable, visually flat (it looks like an ITV drama) and not very funny. Also, Kelly Brook acts OK, has a great figure, and a lovely smile to boot, but frankly she isn't the 10-out-of-10 stunner that this character is supposed to be. It's obviously been made as a vehicle for her, but she has been miscast!
