'Gross Misconduct' was one of a series of texts released in Australia during the early-to-mid 1990s that explored the supposed victimisation of the Privileged Heterosexual Male in the age of feminism. This creature only needs look at a Pretty Young Thing, and he's accused of sexual harassment, and his life is ruined. Damn those women's libbers! Grrr...As my tone might suggest, I don't buy any of this anti-feminist BS, and correspondingly didn't enjoy this film. 'GM' trivialises the issues of sexual harassment and teacher-student relations. Sexual harassment is here the product of a Confused Young Woman's imagination, and those professional boundaries that teachers are meant to maintain ... well, when the teacher is a charming and handsome family man (and played by Jimmy Smits!), well needn't worry about those.Sexist trash, and even by reviewing it, I'm giving it more time than it deserves.

Caught this one on the Mystery channel. I was curious about it because I liked Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive. The movie is pretty formulaic with some weak acting and poor production. In several opening scenes, you can even see the mike, so don't expect much here. Feels like a tv movie with strong sexual content.One curious item is that in the opening scene, Naomi Watts' character is seen pleasuring herself while thinking about Jimmy Smits' character. For anyone who saw "Mulholland Drive," there is an eerie similarity to a pivotal scene in David Lynch's new dark tale. Curious foreshadowing to Ms. Watts' later roles.

I gave this movie a 7. I would have given it a 9 but a couple scenes of full nudity were not needed at all! That was disappointing to say the least. Great film work and the acting was very good! I thought that this was one of Smits' best roles. He was amazing. Especially the scene where the students wrote on his chalk board! That was incredible!

Although I watched it until the part where the police found her at a bus stop shaking, I thought it was sort of inappropriate for TBS Superstation to play and start it at around 10:30 PM. Young children may still have been watching it and in some places it showed the full female body, behind a very see thru shower curtain. Not appropriate unless starting at 1-2am
