The Wrong Tutor (2019 TV Movie) User Reviews

Sorry, not this one

[geoffox-766-418467 · 3/10 · 27 July 2019]

Okay, I know I expect too much from all of these LMN movies and sometimes I am completely surprised when there is a good one. But, this one was just going nowhere and the cast seemed to walk abound like zombies. The plot is not a new one. Girl loves boy, boy kisses girl, girl makes more of it, boy tries to stay away, girls shows up and watches him, even spies on him. Boy not bright enough in how to end it, girl kills competition. Girl disappears, girl finds another victim in another school. The end.

What ticks me off is the fact these screenwriters allow a murderer to escape and start all over again. What does this tell our youth of today.

Lack of Expressions

[florencelbennet · 3/10 · 9 April 2020]

A movie around obsession of a girl for the soccer star. But it lacks various facial expression by Nate Wyatt. Similarly, his co-star, Ivy Matheson not able to justify the role she played as pscho. The plot of the story was good but the actors not able to play it well.

Destined to Be Together

[lavatch · 5/10 · 1 June 2020]

"The Wrong Tutor" is a predictable stalker film featuring a star soccer player's relationship with his psycho calculus tutor.

Emily Miller takes one look at Eric on the soccer field, and she is whipped. The film unfolds in a conventional manner with Emily's invasion of Eric's personal life. Her dastardly deeds include planting a bottle of wasps in the car of Eric's girlfriend, Jess, who has a severe allergic condition. Fortunately, Jess survives.

Eric's soccer coach suspects that Emily is bad news after she files a harassment claim against Eric. When Emily lets her guard down and tells the coach that she and Eric are "destined to be together," the coach knows that Emily needs serious help.

In the series of "The Wrong _______" films, Vivica A. Fox typically has cameo appearances as the wise, omniscient character. But in "The Wrong Tutor," Fox's character's Carol plays Eric's mom, who does not trust her son and has an inexplicable animosity towards Jess.

It will take the efforts to Eric and Jess alone to finally confront Emily, after she has murdered her ex-boyfriend. The ending was anticlimactic when Emily escapes from the police to set up yet another "Wrong Tutor" film.

Nate Wyatt ruined the movie

[Reel_Reviews · 1/10 · 12 May 2020]

As with any Lifetime movie there will be plot holes and I'm OK with that. What I'm not OK with is one person in the movie ruining the entire thing and that's what Nate Wyatt did with this one.

He produced the oddest and dumbest looks when talking with someone, he's monotone in his speaking and just overall terrible actor.

What kept me watching was Vivica A. Fox and Jason-Shane Scott I would not have finished the movie.

Who Writes these films???

[AMZCali · 1/10 · 7 September 2020]

Working from home, I always have my TV on. I keep turning to LMN even though I know better. Around every corner the male lead keeps his mouth shut when we all know that in real life, any person would speak up in order to fix the present problem. Not this guy. It's as if the writers were too lazy and just had the main character do everything he could to keep falling deeper and deeper into the traps set by the crazy character. Nothing new and not worth your time. You'll just cuss out the lead while being bored by the lame script.

Boy this is pants!!

[pookieblondie · 3/10 · 21 April 2023]

Don't waste 2 hours of your life watching this!

I hate to leave a bad review about a movie because let's face it I'm not an actor, producer or director and they can all do a better job than me. Having said that I love movies and watch a lot of them. This is unbelievably bad. I switched it off halfway through ; something I never do, because I just couldn't bear to watch anymore. The scene where Eric runs down the hospital corridor to find his girlfriend is like a scene from a comedy movie as his legs and arms are flailing everywhere! Ridiculously overacted. Apart from Vivica Fox, the acting is generally rather poor, the storyline sucks and it's way too obvious. Actually quite unbearable to watch!

Pretty bad

[CranberriAppl · 18 January 2022]

The Wrong series is pretty hit or miss, and while I don't fault it for the obviously intended campiness, there are scripts that are better than others. This is not a very good one. There are no real stakes in this. Everything is so matter of fact. Even when Jess gets stung by the wasps. I don't know if the original airing showed it, but my TV cut to commercial almost as soon as she got in the car. Not that I expected the scene to be like Thomas J in My Girl, but they showed nothing. In almost every other Lifetime movie, we see the effects of the villain knowing about another character's allergies. Not here.

I mean, there's just nothing here. I wouldn't have minded this movie to be more like the other "Wrong" movie with the girl on the swim team. Now her "Wrong" whatever he was had issues and kept tension in the movie. Seemed actually dangerous and unpredictable in his obsession. This movie is nothing like that.

So nobody contacts this girl's non-existent guardian for the investigation? That's another problem with these movies...the adults in charge never inform the parents or guardians until it's too late and it's discovered they don't exist. I also find it weird that Eric and Vivica had a blow up argument about planted pills from Emily, but the fact that he was accused of something never came up?? No one told his mother (Vivica)? Who wrote this script? Not to mention Emily lives in that big old house while her grandma is in a retirement home. Is granny not checking on her house? Why does granny still have the house? Is granny aware? Who pays the bills and keeps it maintained? Does granny have a POA who is taking care of her affairs? Who wrote this?

Emily was a boring villain who never changed her facial expression and had the most blah voice. I also think turning her into a killer was unnecessary especially since she got away in the end. I absolutely loathe those kinds of endings.

Not a good movie and Vivica and Jason-Shane couldn't save it.

Sadly No thrills

[kyleallencole9 · 4/10 · 5 September 2020]

This one was more of a teen drama. They could of chosen to turn this into a movie like Swimfan instead. Ivy Matheson played a pretty good villain, sadly they didn't have her do as much with her role aside from the stalking and only kills one person towards the very end. They could of had her steal Jess's medicine after she put the wasps in her vehicle, but that was if they had planned on her getting rid of more people that were in the way. It just felt this movie wasn't planned out too well, plus there was really no climatic showdown at the end either which was a mistake.

Obvious but watchable

[phd_travel · 7/10 · 26 August 2019]

A girl obsesses about a Soccer star. She helps him with math but she has an agenda. Ivy Matheson is a pretty stalker tutor. Her stalking lacks subtlety. Don't know why she has to talk in that slow psycho way. Nate Wyatt is the victim who gets tutored and then stalked. His does not have enough different facial expressions. Includes a #metoo fake accusation dig. Nice to see people support him.

totally barfable

[haroot_azarian · 9 July 2020]

Typical LMN plot. the psycho is invited in the house of the victim. victim leaves keys on a table where everyone can see. victim and psycho argue in another room. psycho storms out rather than being escorted out by the victim. psycho steals front door key to the victim's house. blah blah blah. And I agree about Wyatt! absolutely attractions acting. maybe he should go into construction work or something. This movie gets -10 from me. Oh and btw Vivica Fox ain't no Octavia Spencer. Her patronizing tone in the wrong movies just gets under my skin!!!!
