Now this formula has been employed far and wide (and has become particularly popular in UK comedies), spurred on by the success of The Full Monty. Now we've got Shall We Dance?, Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing & Charm School, and Seduction.
Fortunately, Seduction offers a few twists on the rapidly degenerating format, not the least of which is the comely Brook in the lead role. Her lessons in the feminine wiles don't amount to much more than teaching her charges to pout and stroke things sexily, but that doesn't mean she isn't wholly watchable. Meanwhile, the students have some interesting stories to tell, as well. Most reports from dates to this movie show the film faring equally well among men and women. It's easy to see why.
There's a third-act twist that takes Seduction into weird territory that dulls the otherwise light comedy of the film by taking it into a darker area. It doesn't ruin the film, but instead feels more like padding added to give what would have otherwise been a 70-minute movie a little meatier running time. Otherwise, School for Seduction is a breezy and fun little comedy that, while hardly a masterpiece, is mostly harmless.
