PLOT SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

When 17-year-old Kelly (PAULINA SINGER) sneaks out to the city one night with her friends, she isn\u2019t expecting to meet Hollywood\u2019s hottest actor, Christian Booth (FRANCOIS ARNAUD). To Kelly\u2019s surprise, Christian contacts her and they begin spending time together. When her father (JAMES FRANCO) finds out about the relationship \u2014 and the wide age gap \u2014 he demands that Kelly stop seeing Christian. As Christian\u2019s adoration turns into obsession, Kelly realizes that she\u2019s put her family in danger.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio more or less probably matches up to how this aired on television so it\u2019s decent but nothing special. Similarly, the Dolby Digital 5.1 track is okay especially since the movie is mainly dialogue or a stock (sounding) score\/soundtrack.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The only reason High School Lover<\/em><\/strong>, a Lifetime movie, received any notice, is because it stars an A-list(ish) actor in James Franco (he also executive produced), otherwise it\u2019s just another bad made-for-TV flick that features some sub-par performances, Franco especially. I suppose if you\u2019re into these type of movies its worth picking up. For others, just skip.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
