DVD Reviews of The Boyfriend School

DVD Review: Family favorite movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This has been one of our family's top-10 favorite movies since it was originally released as "Don't tell her it's me." I am not typically a romantic comedy fan, but this is charming and funny.

DVD Review: Jami Gertz scores again!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a charming film. The cast is spot on, and the script is well written. And for this reviewer, it's another wonderful performance by Jami Gertz. I've mentioned in other reviews of her films her likability factor, and she definitely scores again in this movie. Steve Guttenberg is also excellent here, as is Shelly Long. If you're in the mood for a romantic comedy, The Boyfriend School is perfect fare!

DVD Review: I'd Like to Enroll in This Boyfriend School
Summary: 5 Stars

If you haven't read Sarah Bird's classic romance THE BOYFRIEND SCHOOL, you probably should. It's one of my favorite contemporary romances of all-time. Originally published in 1989, the book is about Gretchen Griner, an underpaid photographer sent to cover a "Romantic Times-like" conference in Austin, complete with cover models and authors dressed in full Southern belle regalia. There she meets bestselling romance author Lizzie Potts (known as Viveca Lamoureaux to her adoring readers) and romantic chaos ensues as the well-meaning Lizzie decides to fix the cynical Gretchen up with her brother Gus by making him over as the ultimate romance hero.

One of my readers recently let me know the movie version of THE BOYFRIEND SCHOOL (originally titled DON'T TELL HER IT'S ME) had just been released on DVD. While not quite as good as the book, it really is pretty adorable. And it will make you say four words you never thought you would-- "Steve Guttenberg is HOT!"

When Gretchen (renamed Emily for the movie) first meets Gus, he is recovering from cancer treatments and is boring, bald and bloated. But the quirky Lizzie (played by Shelley Long before anyone realized she wasn't going to be a big movie star) quickly makes him over into "Lobo," a mysterious Harley-straddling hero with a stubbled jaw and a really fine mullet. If you enjoy a romantic comedy that's romantic, funny and touching. I think you'll love this one! (And did I mention that Steve Guttenberg was really HOT?)

DVD Review: THE BOYFRIEND SCHOOL (AKA DON'T TELL HER IT'S ME)
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie years ago and absolutely loved it. The other day on tv I saw a movie starring Steve Guttenberg and it put in mind of this movie and I had to have it. So I bought it and when I watched it again after so many years, fell in love with ol' Stevie as Lobo all over again. Ladies, he looks HOT, HOT, HOT!!! It's a total chick-flick, and I love it!!

DVD Review: The Boyfriend School
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved this movie when I first saw it back in the1990's and I'm still loving it! Of course it was called, "Don't tell her its me". The story is touching and funny and the actors are very good. Steve Guttenburg is mmmm!, EYE CANDY! Shelly Long is such a kick has the sister and Jami Gertz is a sweet-searching-for-love-girl in her part. So very glad I could buy this movie. It will be my DVD treasure to keep!

Description of The Boyfriend School

True love has never been more confusing or more hilarious! Fabulous funnyman Steve Guttenberg (Police Academy, Three Men and a Baby) teams with Jami Gertz (Sibling Rivalry) and Golden Globe?(r) winners Shelley Long ("Cheers") and Kyle MacLachlan ("Twin Peaks") in a laugh-riot comedy of passion, romance and mistaken identity! Painfully boring Gus Kubicek (Guttenberg) isn't exactly ladies' man materialat least not until his meddling romance writer sister (Long) gets hold of him. Soon he's the buff and bronzed main character in the romantic fantasies of his dream girl, Emily. Trouble is, Gus can't tell if Emily really loves him or just his sexy, leather-clad alter ego!
