Review of Loverboy

Loverboy (1989)
4/10
Frustrated Wives and a Pizza Delivery Man
29 May 2020
This film essentially begins with a young college student by the name of "Randy" (Patrick Dempsey) having an argument with his girlfriend "Jenny" (Nancy Valen) which leads to their breaking up. Not long after that his father "Joe" (Robert Ginty) tells him that he will no longer pay for his college tuition because his grades are so bad. So with nothing else to do for that summer he decides to get a job delivering pizzas to try to get enough money to eventually get back to school. It's during this time that he meets a woman by the name of "Alex" (Barbara Carrera) who seduces him on one of his deliveries. To top things off, she not only pays him for his time and effort but also gives his number to several of her other rich friends who are married but have since become extremely frustrated and bored. Yet even though Randy is making more money than he ever dreamed possible he has overlooked one small problem-the husbands of these wives. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this comedy had a good cast and a decent plot with several attractive ladies like Kate Jackson (as Randy's mother "Diane"), Kim Miyori ("Kyoko Bruckner") and the aforementioned Barbara Carrera and Nancy Valen to enhance the scenery. The problem, however, is that the humor was hit-and-miss throughout and it's for that reason that I have rated this film accordingly. Slightly below average.
