Only in America would people still be fans of actual rapists like R Kelly,Michael Jackson,and Bill Clinton. But Mary Kay Letourneau,run for cover folks,it's the boogeywoman!.She was a poor lonely,soul who was in a bad place in her sad life at the time and this gangbanger,not an innocent kid,pursued and lander her. Yet the press manipulated the public to make her appear to be the villain. I grow weary of all the self righteous types who viciously insult her even after she's long since passed away. The movie seemed to have taken cues from both James Robinson and Greg Olsen's books. It humanized her and played more fair with her than the press did or ever could. I still remember the closing scene as she starts her sentence. Vili leaves his daughters with his mother while he goes upstairs to make out with a girl his own age. That's appalling behavior for a father. Frankly I believe Mary was too good for Steve,the abuser,and Vili,the user. He got away with seducing her and dumping her when he didn't want to be with an almost 60 year old woman. Penelope Ann Miller played the role pretty good. May Mary Kay Letournau be at peace now.
