A True-Blue 60's Girl Group Comedy!,
By
This review is from: My Boyfriend's Back (DVD)
My Boyfriend's Back(not to be confused with the completely putrid 1993 movie)stars Sandy Duncan(the Wheat Thins Lady), Jill Eikenberry(L.A. Law) and Judith Light(Who's The Boss?)as a reunited 1960's girl group who are the main attraction for a TV special. I first seen this film on a local TV station here in Chicago and I loved it. I thought it would never be available on DVD. Of all the Made-For-TV Movies I have seen in my lifetime, this is definitely among my favorites.

1960's middle school pop hit,
By Sakuteiki "sakuteiki" (Grants Pass, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Boyfriend's Back (DVD)
Sandy Duncan, Judith Light, Jill Eikenberry characters meet in middle school choir, form girls group The Bouffants, have a number one hit in 1960s. Jill Eikenberry lead singer departs at the top of their fame. All lose contact except for perky Sandy Duncan's character who marries a man who never has time for her, raises 2 boys, keeps mementos of their Gold Record years in albums and writes upbeat Christmas letters to the other two for 25years. The other two never write back.Judith Light plays an adult child of alcholics, bowling alley cafe singer who recounts her glory days from the 60s each night to a bored disinterested largely inattentive audience waiting for their lanes to open. She works without contract for a man who uses her as a friend with benefits. She lives in her imagination as the middle school age Bouffant, a star. Jill Eikenberry has moved on to Senior Vice President of major cosmetics firm, doesn't reflect on the past. But is unable to commit to a relationship in the present. Network TV decides 1989 is a good time for a special titled My Boyfriend's Back highlighting 1960s singers. The trio is reunited with friction erupting from the women revisiting middle school envy, jealousy, social anxiety during rehearsals. The resulting fictional back to the 60s special includes: Gary Puckett Young Girl, Mary Wells My Guy, (Little) Peggy March I Love Him, The Penguins Earth Angel, Gary Lewis This Diamond Ring and The Bouffants (simulating the Angels) My Boyfriend's Back. Light, funny, easy to digest coming of age G rated film with 60s music. Classic 1930's Great Depression movie style: hopeful laugh filled distraction from economic reality. Also watch Bye Bye Birdie, Hairspray: Deluxe Edition and if you can find a copy, 1992 Broadway musical Crazy For You (shown on PBS) based on Gershwin's Girl Crazy [VHS]. I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it. Rita Mae Brown

A fun movie with a little bit of everything.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Boyfriend's Back (DVD)
I 1st caught this movie the 1st and only time NBC aired it back in like 1990 or there-abouts.Lucky for me I had the smarts to shove a tape in and record it due to who was in it and have enjoyed that tape all these years later.Imagine my surprise when I found it here at Amazon on DVD. Needless to say my tape was beginning to show it's age in places.What makes this movie just a lot of fun is that it has a little bit of everything you would want in a movie.3 old friends who shared a special time in their youth and have a chance to relive it if all really want to.It has slight intrigue, cat fights, making up and not to mention some darn good music from the 60's.1 of the ladies is boss of company and just doesn't get why to do it.1 is a married lady with 2 kids and a husband who loves but doesn't have time for her and her needs.1 is still singing all these years later and wants it cause she think she deserves it because of what happened years ago.You laugh with them, you cry with them, you fight with them as they fight with each other.But, most of all, in the end all is mended and all is resolved from past to present to future.And after all that there is a swell 15 minutes or so of some of the excellent music hits from the 1960's performed by the original artists who made them famous!!When it's done I can promise you you'll watch it again and again and enjoy it every time. Expessially if you watch it with a friend or whatever is available.The 2 of you will enjoy it ALOT!!!Mark
