love this movie. represents what was great about 80's comedies. great soundtrack, silly storyline, and loads of fun.
since when did everything get so serious? this movie doesn't pretend to solve any social problems, it simply makes you laugh.
THAT is what i liked about this flick and what i love about it and other movies of it's genre. don't see it if you take yourself to freakin seriously, but if you want a good time, it's well worth a look!

Loverboy is perhaps... actually is the finest comedy ever made; let alone the finest Patrick Dempsey flick and that includes Meatballs III. If you do not like this movie you may need to seriously consider removing your frontal lobes because you have no sense of humor. Patrick Dempsey is in excellent form exhibiting the tragedy of being an under sexed teenager balancing work and school and his very extra curricular activities: providing hot lovin' to middle aged has beens including Carrie Fisher and Kirstie Alley. Both women's careers peaked at this film (Carrie Fisher's acting sucked in star Wars-and Kirstie Alley's comedic talents never rose past the level of a stoic Klingon in Star Trek III ) If you are need of serious hilarity, you should try this movie. Be sure to ask for "Extra Anchovies"

Im so happy, that Columbia/Tristar pictures finally!, reissued this film, and on DVD in WIDESCREEN! Its about TIME! This movie has never been reissued since it was released originally on home video back in 1989. Im so glad its coming out, and in WIDESCREEN! Itll be the first time ill see this film in its original theatrical aspect ratio! If u dont have this film, Go and get it, u wont be disappointed!

This movie is a funny old fashioned college comedy, it would be cool to get one of those talking robots.

A good 80s movie , about love , life , good times etc
a good b movie

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).

I've been waiting for this movie to come on cable forever. It finally came on Soap network a few weeks ago. Very good

The movie was brand new and played perfectly. This vendor is awesome. I've bought quite a few (hard to find) movies from them and all have been impeccable.

I ordered this for a friend for Christmas, she loves Patrick Dempsey, therefore she loves this movie!

I hold this movie right up there with Can't Buy Me Love. It is interesting, can hold your attention AND it has Patrick Dempsey in it! I love all his movies- they are the best! :)
