One of the worst movies i've ever seen. I understand that this movies
don't have good budget but that doesn't explain the bad script,poor
dialog, the awful end and stupid story. I don't get why people make
movies if they don't have a good plot for it. It's a wanna be realistic
movie but honestly a movie have to be nice and the scenes must have a
nice background to make somebody want to watch. This movie hurts my
eyes and my ears...the music. I was just stupefied and watched it to
see how bad Romanian movies are. So please, don't watch this and don't
give it good reviews just cause it's a Romanian movie. After I saw it
my first though was...God,I gotta write a good script to make a nice
Romanian movie

Storyline Emily tells her son Paul, now six years old, the story of his life - how she sought motherhood, to be a mom without a husband, to raise a perfect, exceptional child, whom she calls Loverboy. In flashbacks told around a pretend car trip they take - so he can practice driving - we see Paul's infancy, their fun together (sometimes with a manic edge), and his growing desire to go to school and be with other kids. We also flash back to Emily's childhood, with parents so bound up with each other that she's virtually ignored. Is Emily going to be able to let Paul be with others? Or, can she, as in the David Bowie song she sings at a school talent show, construct a life on Mars?

Quotes: Emily:
Fitting in with the outside world, respectability, suitability, conformity, were never high on my priority list; neither was normalcy. I admit: I cultivated arrogance. The world would be our school; I wanted to learn it and teach it to you.

A Beautifully Acted, Disturbing Story About Obsessive Mothering
Rating: 8/10
Kevin Bacon directs this bizarre story adapted by Hannah Shakespeare
from Victoria Redel's novel about maternal obsession providing his wife
Kyra Sedgwick with a role to spotlight just how fine an actress she
truly is. The story is disturbing but vitally interesting. There are
problems with the film, the most annoying one being that the dialogue
is practically inaudible due to the miking and, more so, due to the
musical score which covers all the lines to the point of making the
movie seem like a silent movie with music from the pit! Such a shame,
because it SEEMS like this is a good script with a lot to say.
Emily (Kyra Sedgwick) is damaged goods, a woman neglected as a child
who is determined to have a baby and raise it on her own, lavishing the
child with all the affection and attention she desperately missed.
After numerous attempts to get pregnant from any available man, she
finally succeeds impregnation with Campbell Scott and gives birth to
Paul (Dominic Scott Kay) who becomes her entire reason for living. She
sequesters Paul form the world, gives him everything a child could want
- except association with peers. Her obsession grows to the point of
mental illness and the results are devastating. Along the way Emily and
Paul encounter people who seek to intervene in their lives: these
people are played with great style by cameo roles of Sandra Bullock,
Oliver Platt, Kevin Bacon, Marisa Tomei, Matt Dillon, Blair Brown and
even some of the Bacon's own children! It is a star cast obviously
committed to Kevin Bacon's vision of this star vehicle for Sedgwick.
The pacing, cinematography, and acting are all first rate. If only the
ugly and senseless music hadn't submerged the dialogue (oddly enough
the score was written by Michael Bacon!), this would be an Oscar
contender.

User Review
The love doctor of Beverly Hills.
Rating: 6/10
This was one of three romance comedies (along with In The Mood and Can't Buy
Me Love) that Patrick Dempsey starred in around '87 and '88 about a young
guy who knows who he wants to be with, he just can't seem to figure it out
at first.
Loverboy, actually, is a plot very similar to In The Mood because it deals
with a young man "wooing" older women and eventually, they teach him
something about love that he will help appreciate a young girlfriend, when
he finds one.
Loverboy concerns the story of hot shot Randy Bodek (Dempsey). Things aren't
going well. His girlfriend, Jenny (Nancy Valen), thinks he's ashamed of her
because he won't tell his parents that he's living with her. But Randy
doesn't want to bring up live-in girlfriends to his folks yet because
they're about to be baffled by a near flunking report card. So needless to
say, Randy is on the brink with both his girlfriend and his parents. His dad
refuses to pay Randy's tuition for the next semester, so, as Randy says,
"I'm going to start me real life, how hard can that be?" But Randy is in for
a rude awakening.
What started out as a pizza delivery job at Senor Pizza turns into Randy's
goal to earn enough cash to get back into school and patch things up with
Jenny. Things aren't so simple once Randy meets Alex Barnett (Barbara
Carerra) an elegant, but mysterious woman who Randy spends some time with.
Randy Bodek suddenly becomes "the love doctor of Beverly Hills" (according
to his goofy friend, Sal) because now he is being personally called on to
deliver anchovi pizzas (the codeword) to the rich, lonely housewives. It
seems quite shallow, but Randy's agenda hardly ever includes sleeping with
the women. They just want a guy to spend time with them and get some
affection from when their work-a-holic or cheating husbands have neglected
them. Randy gets an unusual education in, pardon the cliche, what women
want.
It's a pretty funny movie because Randy has to hide his new reputation from
his parents and nearly everyone else, so it leads to some hastily
investigated conclusions as to what Randy might be up to. Plus, Randy, a
pretty wimpy looking guy, must also hide from eager husbands looking to put
the kid out of business, just as soon as they can figure out what it is that
is making their wives all of sudden cheerful.
It's good stuff, lazy Saturday afternoon type comedy with a good
cast--Patrick Dempsey, Barbara Carerra, E.G. Daily, Kirstie Alley, Carie
Fisher, and my favorite Bernie Coulson (he plays Sal). It is a funny movie
about one guy's strange attempt to show his girlfriend that he cares about
her. But in all honesty, I would recommend watching 'In the Mood' first, as
that is the better of these two similar stories.
