So, "Teacher's Favorite Pet" is this odd little comedy from 1985 that leans heavily into the whole 'spoiled rich girl' trope. The atmosphere is a curious mix of lightheartedness and those classic schoolyard antics, but it’s the pacing that feels a bit uneven—sometimes it drags, and other times you’re left wondering if they crammed too much in. The performances, especially from the lead, have a certain raw charm that makes it hard to look away. The practical effects are minimal, but they add a nice touch of authenticity. It’s not groundbreaking by any means, but it has a distinct vibe that seems to capture a specific slice of '80s teen comedies with all their quirks.
This film was released on VHS and has seen a DVD release, but finding a quality copy can be a bit of a hunt. The scarcity of certain editions drives collector interest, especially among those who appreciate lesser-known '80s comedies. It's not the type of film that pops up frequently in discussions, which might make it a hidden gem for those who enjoy exploring the depths of genre cinema from this era.
