Jason London stars in this teen wish fulfillment
romantic comedy, playing
Todd Boomer, a would-be cartoonist who needs a recommendation to Harvard from his smarmy math teacher (
Christopher MacDonald). However, calculus is the one subject in which
Todd isn't pulling his weight. One rainy night he picks up a woman stranded by the side of the road who needs a ride (
Tia Carrere). The woman turns out to be a whiz in his rusty subject, and she begins tutoring him. Only later does he start to fall for her -- and only later does he realize she's the wife of his math teacher. Although they begin a tentative affair, both are constantly worried about being discovered, which could ruin each in different ways. Meanwhile,
Todd runs afoul of his own doting girlfriend,
Kirsten (
Alexondra Lee), as well as his best friend
Paul (
Zak Orth), who has a crush on
Kirsten. The happy trio is splintered by
Todd's romantic dalliances.
My Teacher's Wife uses
Todd's drawings, actually inked by cartoonist
Bill Plympton, as loose narration.
