Great review of what sounds like a movie that it's better to read a review of than watch. I'd just add that the premise of the "over-sexed' teen girl or young woman is also over-used in these sorts of movies. It's a constant. Our poor hero in movie after movie finds his strength and character tested by a person who only exists to perpetuate the narrative that women MAKE men do ridiculous and terrible things – women have too much sexual power and only the most saintly man could possibly resist their feminine wiles. It's such a stale and baseless trope. Personally I'm pretty sick of it.
