Synopsis
An idle remark about oral sex gets high-school teacher Ruth Ramsey assigned to teaching a sex education class with a distinctly Christian curriculum. Soon she's engaged in a suburban battle with Pastor Dennis and born-again rocker Tim Mason. Tom Perrotta once again shows his skill at sly and subversive, but warm-hearted, satires of small-town America.
