Movie Reviews of Loverboy
Movie Review: great film! set the groundwork for Duece Bigalow
Summary: 5 Stars
Loverboy starting Patrick Dempsey is a much early version of Rod Schinder's hit, Duece Bigalow Male Gigalow. Duece followed much of the same storyline as Loveryboy.
In Loverboy, Patrick Dempsey is a less than stellar performing college student who has been living with his college girlfriend for the last two semesters. (his girlfriend's name is Jenny, she later played Jennifer on Saved by the Bell in the Zack falls for the Nurse episode).
Dempsey is not allowed to return to school due to failing grades, so he stays home with his parents and works to get money and go back to school to be with his girlfriend, who broke up with him because he won't mention her to his parents.
He gets a job at Senor Pizza and while out delivering a box of pizza, meets the eye of a pretty girl who he follows to a clothing store. He asks her out but she rejects him because he is only a kid, as she says. One of the other girls in the workplace overhears the conversation and the two of them hit it off. Turns out that the other woman is actually the owner of that store.
They have several romantic rondevous when finally he tells her that he doesn't love her because he likes his girlfriend and wants to return to her. She admires his honesty and pays him $200 for being with her and in return, she also tells all her friends about him. All the women are married and misserable for somereason or another, mostly because they feel neglected and unloved.
Dempsey romances all these women in different ways, not necesarry sexually, but through dancing, massages, and just by paying attention.
Eventually, as in Duece Bigalow, everything takes a turn for the worst. His mom gets hold of the secret message and places an order to meet the delivery boy (her own son which she doesn't know about). His father thinks he's gay because he's hanging out with Tony, the good looking Italian who works at Senor Pizza.
I'm not going to give away the end of the film because it's honestly worth watching. I love Patrick Dempsey as an actor, and this film was awesome. I cannot believe that after a film like this, his film career didn't blow up (until Grey's Anatomy). Kristey Alley also comes out in this film, as well as Elizabeth Daily (Pee Wee's Big Adventure).
