Teen Oriented Voyeurism rules as the protagonist (Brown) stalks his prey (and her stand-in) armed with cameras, binoculars, and an overtly Oedipal mix of fear and desire.

Reviews for Private Lessons
A subplot involving blackmail and featuring Hesseman serves as filler between sexual episodes.
Rent it for nostalgia value, if you must, but be prepared for a sex comedy with very little sexiness and a complete dearth of comedy.
Private Lessons is made for the Clearasil market, pimply and freshly pubescent.
