After playing the student for some time — as the only Jewish girl in a Christian high school in , or as an aspiring writer-stripper on — Eva Amurri Martino has finally traded up. In the new Adam Sandler/Andy Samberg comedy , her character is at the head of the class, though not quite a model of professionalism. We talked to Martino about sexual misconduct, sex ed, changing lives, and her fictional campus of choice.
Saved! Californication That's My Boy
EVA AMURRI MARTINO: Yeah, but probably not the best example of one. I play a teacher who also happens to be a sexual predator — I guess in the funniest sense of the word? I start a relationship with my student, who's supposed to be thirteen or fourteen — the young version of Adam Sandler — and it kind of plays off all those stories in the news, when the female teacher sleeps with the young male student, and everyone's like, Whoa! He pulled that off!
MS: It's weird how many cases of female teachers doing that we've seen lately.
EAM: There was one just the other day! She was, like, 27 — she's my age. And two months after she got married, she carried out four affairs with four different eleventh-grade boys.
MS: Do you think there's any chance this is because teachers have been getting hotter?
EAM: [Laughs] I don't know if they're getting hotter, or younger... Maybe they're just crazier? The movie that resonates most with me is My Girl . She had a crush on her teacher, Griffin Dunne, remember? Those are the teachers I remember having: established, married, older guys. And I also remember having really hot camp counselors. Why do they keep letting these hot guys around all these hormonal young girls? It's just going to lead to trouble.
MS: Back then we always had those tweed-wearing professors, but where were all our gorgeous female teachers?
EAM: Maybe they were all stripping? But we grew up under the Clinton administration, when there was an emphasis on education. So maybe now we have a generation of young women who want to make a difference as teachers. And some of them occasionally have problems with sleeping with students.
MS: As a kid, I always wanted to be either a writer or a Ghostbuster. One of those worked out. Did you ever want to be anything other than an actress?
EAM: It's funny. I actually wanted to be an astronaut, but I don't have a mathematical brain. It's just not how my brain works. So those hopes were dashed. But the great thing about acting is that you get to be a lot of different things in one lifetime. You get to explore different personalities and characters. Honestly, I don't know if I'd want to be an educator. I find teachers to have more responsibility, in a way, than being a parent. You're molding hundreds of minds every year.
MS: Yet it's one of the most underappreciated jobs on the planet.
MS: They're essentially field-goal kickers. No one notices when you do well. That's just your job. But you screw up once, and everyone hates you.
EAM: Yeah, the shit teachers have to go through is criminal. A good teacher who can take the zero pay and help kids develop physically, emotionally, socially, is literally an angel.
MS: You know how, in movies, there's always that one badass Michelle Pfeiffer teacher who changes lives to a Coolio soundtrack? Did you ever have one that affected you?
EAM: Yeah, I've had a couple. I had one in fourth grade, named Linda Chu, who was incredible. We got to hatch baby ducks in her class. And then I had an English teacher named Mr. Byrne in eighth grade. It was kind of like in Dead Poet's Society , where he was tough on us but challenged us with unexpected projects, like a ten-page paper on nose hair. He always had this saying: "If you have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, you shit on the present." [Laughs] I've always loved that.
MS: That's genius. It's interesting how teaching has gotten more challenging because of the Internet. In our day, cheating meant watching the Leo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet . But now kids can Google entire Shakespearean Ph.D theses.
EAM: When I was in high school, it was kind of the start of the Internet. No one really used it — you still went to the library to look stuff up. But now it's like I don't even remember how I'd go about finding information if it wasn't for Google.
MS: We'd be completely lost and hopeless.
EAM: But the Internet is also such a great tool for kids. Even just for your sexuality, to be able to search online for any questions you might have — what an amazing opportunity.
MS: Definitely beats those awkward sex-ed classes.
EAM: I remember having one of those in middle school, which is probably the right age for it considering how young kids are having sex nowadays. I remember it was girls and guys together, which is a complete problem, because what tween wants to ask questions with the opposite sex in the room? And plus, it was our weird, old, lady-principal putting a condom on a cucumber...
MS: They seriously did the cucumber thing?
EAM: Oh, yeah. Condom. On a cucumber. And, first of all, a cucumber is not a penis. Like, no twelve-year-old dick is the size of a cucumber! That's just completely ridiculous. But I guess it was better than nothing.
MS: We never had a sex-ed course in my private school.
MS: Skinemax. When I was twelve, we got cable, and one late night, I flipped channels, and it was like, "Oh, so that's how it works!" And it's been twenty years of awkwardly figuring out the rest.
EAM: Well, that's what a lot of people do. But if you're not giving your kids a sex talk by eleven, you've failed.
MS: Did your parents give you the sex talk?
EAM: I don't remember it, so it must not have been too traumatizing. But my mom has always been open and non-judgmental about that stuff, which is great.
MS: Yeah, mine were less open — mine weren't Susan Sarandon. But they grew up in the Soviet education system, where things were strictly controlled. The government would look at your five-year-old shoulders and say, "You will be an Olympic wrestler!" or "You will be a cosmonaut!"
EAM: But you know what? I think there's part of our country's education system that's gotten a little bit lazy about letting kids do whatever they want. I think structure, on some level, is extremely important. For example, I went to a very liberal-arts high school in Brooklyn, where all the kids smoked pot, and we had free reign, almost like college. You studied what you wanted to. I mean, it's amazing to go to a place that lets you develop your creative side. But when I have kids, I'm going to send them to a more classic school. As a parent, you can always expose your kids to the arts and take them to museums, but it's not like I'm gonna teach them algebra.
MS: Well, since you brought up your weird liberal-arts school, I've got one last question. If you got to choose a fictional high school to attend, would it be West Beverly from Beverly Hills, 90210 , Bayside High from Saved by the Bell , or William McKinley from Glee ?
EAM: Oh god, definitely not William McKinley. Um, probably West Beverly, because they're all forty-year-old guys. None of them were under eighteen. Which works out.

Actress Eva Amurri Martino stars alongside Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler in That's My Boy , but memorizing lines and keeping up with the king of digital shorts was nothing compared to prepping for her first nude scene...
Being in the buff can certainly be a bit jarring -- even for the most confident of us. Try adding co-workers, producers, directors, a whole audio/visual crew...not to mention millions of movie-goers as witnesses to your nakedness, and things just got a leetle bit scary. Here's how Eva nailed it.
Glamour : How did you prep for your nude scene?
Eva : Well, I was prepping for my wedding [Eva married former soccer player Kyle Martino in October], and stress is definitely its own kind of diet, but I didn't go overboard. After all, we were filming in Boston, and lobster rolls are my personal weakness. But also, my character was supposed to be bodacious and look like a woman, which was nice.
Glamour : What were your tricks for being comfortable -- while naked -- around all of those people?
Eva : I became friends with the A/V guys! With them on my side, I was able to film my nude scenes in the morning -- every woman knows you're at your thinnest early in the day. I mostly ate proteins like chicken or eggs and avoided starchy veggies. But the real secret to looking and feeling your best is really all about attitude . If you feel great and put that vibe out there, everyone else will think you look great, too. So, fake it til ya make it!

Mary McGarricle (as Eva Amurri Martino)
When Andy Samberg got married, he invited Adam Sandler to the wedding. Sandler showed up as his character in this movie, outfit and all.
When Jamie asks Todd what 452 x 77 is, he gives the answer 84304.
The actual answer is 34804.
When shown on Lifetime, after Todd mockingly says "nice suitcase" to Donny, Donny's follow-up line "This is a Hefty bag" is changed to "this is a garbage bag".

okay look, I'm one of Sandler's biggest fans. No jokes. I spent over a year learning a Bobby Busche impression, just for the amusement of myself. You guys are too hard on him. How can a guy not make a few flops??? This film wasn't even bad. Other than the over use of crude jokes, it was good. If you edited about 10 or 15 minutes of the crude and sexual jokes out of this, it would've been Sandler gold. The character he played was really original, not one of those family guy characters he just keeps on playing over and over. It was like his mid 90 characters like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, the ones that made us love him. Of course, it wasn't as good as a character. Overall, a pretty fair film that could've been great with the edits. I really don't know how you can say you walked out of the theater?!!! Same with Jack and Jill, it was bad, but it didn't deserve the horrible reviews. The guys made about 20 massive hits, how's he not gonna make one or two flops??? Anyways Sandler, make the edits and re-put it in theaters and I think it'll do way better.
