It never fails to amaze me how much maturity can completely change your opinion on things your younger, innocent self used to love.
As someone who often had crushes on teachers, Loving Annabelle was one of my comfort movies as a teen. But now that I am the teacher (and in my 30's), I rewatched it and I am so devastatingly appalled by how inappropriate it is. Pretty sure I spent the whole rewatch going:
"Simone, no."
"Simone, NO."
"Simone, what are you doing?"
"Simone, you know better than this."
"Simone, you do NOT offer a book and write a sweet message on it to a teen student you know is into you."
"Simone, wha-?? You definitely don't take your students to your beach house, and especially not the student who just tried to kiss you two minutes ago."
