The young ravishing history teacher Lora Angelova is torn apart by the love she has for the school her father founded, and her former life as a competitive dancer. As the principal's position at the school becomes vacant, Lora needs to make the difficult decision between staying and fighting for the job, or running away from the intimidation she faces. With the help of the beloved students in her class, she discovers who she really is and easily makes the right decision.
Well. I get the dislike, I truly do, but honestly... it's almost watchable.
<em>'Attraction'</em> has a pretty cruddy plot (featuring scenes that were clearly written by men for men, let's be real) so should make for an awful watch. Yet, I kinda didn't mind it while I was watching it - as noted, it's in fact almost something I actually say is worth a watch. I'm not fully sure why, granted, but I'd be lying if I said I disliked it enough to give it a lower rating.
Yana Marinova is a likeable lead, portraying basically the only properly likeable character in the entire film admittedly. Alexander Sano does alright in his role, as does Luiza Grigorova-Makariev. Koyna Ruseva doesn't have much to work with, given her character is way too cartoony.
Not that it's a sign of anything meaningful, though interesting to see that only Radina Borshosh from the cast has an English Wikipedia article - on that note, how about Sonya's fight skills btw? That kick into Vasil's crown jewels is a work of art, as is the slap on Diana.
A lot of the film is cringey, especially that concluding speech scene with Marinova's Lora. The literal final scenes go full blown <em>'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inbetweeners" rel="nofollow">The Inbetweeners</a>'</em> too, as Nikoleta Lozanova replicates Belinda Stewart-Wilson. Iykyk.
I understand the hate, though I think it moreso falls into the 'so bad it's (almost) good' category. I will not be revisiting it any time soon, yet I didn't have a negative time with it so...
