This could have been a very enjoyable film in every way, but one detail completely ruined the experience of watching it. The teacher with whom Max fell in love was 30. Max was 15. She rejected him outright because of the 15 year age difference. But she fell for the Bill Murray character (50 years old) with whom she had a GREATER age difference at 20 years. If they had chosen a 30 year old actor instead of Murray, it would have worked.
