Loverboy (1989)
Loverboy (1989)
Director: Joan Micklin Silver
Writers: Robin Schiff (story), Robin Schiff (screenplay)
Cast: Patrick Dempsey, Kate Jackson, Robert Ginty, Nancy Vallen
Genre: Comedy
Loverboy a forgotten 1980s teen angst comedy movie. I'd never even heard of this movie, which is odd as it's a fun watch...and has lots of big name stars in it. Patrick Dempsey is a college kid who's partying too hard and so dad stops paying his tuition...forcing him to get a job at this Mexican themed pizza place, Senor Pizza.
Somehow he meets a beautiful rich woman who wants a one night stand and she pays him $200.00 which he saves so he can get back to college and his girlfriend...
So then the funny thing is all these hot babes are calling the pizza place asking for him to special deliver a pizza with extra anchovies
, which is the code word...Sounds fishy
but he end's up become a gigaloo, which reminded me of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) another funny flick.
So back to the babes, there's lots of them! A young Kirstie Alley, and Barbara Carrera and Kate Jackson is his mom. I was keen on seeing this for Carrie Fischer, who has a smaller part but it was great to see her, and she's funny in this too. A fun watch, sort of like a time machine back to 1989.
