I was suckered in by the reviews of this DVD for "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend." I thought it was the movie with Deborah Gibson and Valerie Perine but it is NOT! The VHS copy is but the DVD is an obscure french movie under the same name but with a totally different storyline and none of the stars listed here. I loved the Debbie Gibson movie and had hoped that it had been released on DVD in the UK, but it hadn't. DO NOT purchase this DVD if you are under the impression that it is the Debbie Gibson movie. Beware!

This movie was wonderful! The cast was great, and Deborah Gibson was absolutely wonderful in her film debut. This movie starts very innocent and later becomes just downright crazy. A very light screwball comedy sure to make you laugh. I highly recommend this movie.

This movie is a perfect mix of romance and comedy. The plot is interesting and the cast is great. Deborah Gibson is wonderful in the film.

Deb Gisbson is terrific in her feature film debut. She absolutely electrified the screen. I thoroughly enjoyed and laughed throughout the film. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND IT!!

A fun comedy film that starts slow and builds as things get crazier. The leading actor was excellent and very entertaining. People who are into screwball comedy (remmmber the old Cary Grant films?) would like this one.

I'm not sure if my one star rating should go to myself or this movie "first" but it's certain both are deserving. This is probably the worst "gay movie" I've ever seen: Bad plot, bad acting, bad dialogue, BAD price considering the aforementioned, and bad choice on Valerie Perrine's (Lex Luthor's hottie girlfriend from Christopher Reeve's "Superman") part for accepting this role! I'll take the single star for being lame enough to fall for the "sounds good, looks good in the picture!" thing.

This should have been a campy, and even acceptably cheesy movie -- tho worth it! -- instead, the film delivers nothing but the gruelling task of almost finishing it.

There were endless scenes of one idiot chasing another around every single imaginable house corner and tree, bush etc... honestly I've never seen such a stupid movie. And for me, a person who even managed to enjoy, "Dude, Where's My Car?" to not find at least SOME entertainment value is rare.... not to mention the fact I'm writing this review (motivated by my self-disgust at having purchased an expensive piece of crap rather than knowing better! - thus the one star that goes to me!)

If you want a bad movie, watch "Troll 2". If you want a stupid movie, watch "Dude, Where's My Car".... if you want to ponder whether or not the next minute is worth living, watch this.

A recommended movie for fans of pop icon, Deborah Gibson. An indie film that was first released on VHS is now on DVD. A better representation from it's first format since it's now on Dolby Digital; in terms of picture and sound quality. Take note of the title track sang by Deborah as well. All in all, it's a light, fun movie about relationships. The actors did a great job; Although, because of it's gay-themed undertones; it's suitable for mature audiences only. Great DVD quality but no added features.

I have this film it's really good
Deborah Gibson really stand's out
in this film also staring her Boyfriend
at the time Chris Bruno. The movie would
have been better if Deborah was the bride
But she sure is the best part of the film
so this is a true Fan item if you do not
have it get it fast!!!!!! And Check out
her other film on DVD
(My X-Girlfriends Wedding Reception) was
going to be called (Wedding Band)old title.

Right from the beginning credits with the cute animation & Deborah Gibson singing the title tune, I felt like this was a comedy Doris Day (another pop singer who acted in films) would have starred in. It was like one of Miss Day's 60's screwball comedies with a gay 90's twist. A fun, fluffy film.

Having favored screwball comedies from the 30s and 40s in my teens, I found the same environment in this movie. I laughed quite often and enjoyed the craziness of the circumstances the characters found themselves in very much!
