| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostSparkling comedy with witty dialogue and a bravura turn by Shelley Long. |
| User ReviewBeauty Freally likable, original little gem of a film |
| User ReviewKirby PI own this movie and I love it... Great cast and story line.. Shelley Long is too funny as Lizzie Potts the meddling sister who tries to help her brother out to help him get the girl of his dreams, Emily Pear. By turning her brother into Chance Peters from Passions Price her one of her romance novels. Great tag lines in this movie "I like to aquate her with consequences," referring to her daughter - Anabelle (piglet) Steve's - I am Lobo, I hunt alone, I need no one, and from now on all you moths find a flame on your own, great line for Shelley. Beth Grant was superb as the sensuality consultant for Gus or Goose Tag Line from Beth- Not everyone is secure for her presentations, we must have kindlin'. If you don't already have it own it you won't go wrong with this one, great romantic comedy. |
| User ReviewAllie KOddly... this relatively unknown romance is hands down my favorite of the genre. I own the movie and have seen it dozens of times. Steve Guttenberg plays a guy who's a bit of a schlub and his sister, a romance writer, makes him into one of her romance heros to attract the attention of a woman he has fallenin love with. |
| User ReviewJayden CA Great movie all around! Pretty darn funny Steve Guttenberg's name in the movie he make's up is Lobo. My fav. line has to be where he is practicing who is pretending to be to impress this girl he likes, and he has this funny Australian dialect going on. He is like "I am Lobo." But, it sounds soo funny. :) |
| User ReviewMelody WI loved this movie. It's sweet and funny and just leaves you feeling good. |
| User ReviewSonya DOne of my favorite romance movies. I love Steve's charater Lobo. Great acting by all actors. This is just a cute and lovable story. It's heartwarming and wonderful. This movie use to be called "Don't tell her it's me", but they changed it to "The boyfriend school". I liked the old name, it fit the story better. |
| User ReviewJenna FI totally loved this movie it is one of the best comedy romance combined movies yet. I wish they would make a part two to this movie with the same actors and actress in it.. |
