Loverboy.......2007-04-05

I love this movie. it is fun and entertaining. and can't get over the change in Patrick Dempsy

Love this boy.......2007-03-23

Patrick Dempsey is one of my favorite actors. When I saw this movie and read what it was about, it was abit confusing. Once you watch it you will understand it all. This is an amazing movie, very good and exciting.

It's Dr. McDreamy Delivering Pizza.......2007-01-16

This is a great movie. I watched it when it first came out. I am a huge fan of Grey's Anatomy and when I saw Patrick Dempsy's character (Dr. McDreamy) I knew right away that that was the pizza delivery kid in Loverboy. It's full of laughs that will brighten any day.

Great service.......2006-07-27

Micklin Silver is a nice director. I've seen some of her work from the 1970's; Hester Street is a real gem, the story of Jewish Immigrants at the turn of the 19th Century made with no studio money; it was remarkable. Recently I saw her PBS, adaptation of Scott Fitzgerald's short story classic, Bernice Bobs Her Hair -- again lovely work. Now in Loverboy she gets some Hollywood dough and makes the most of a low budget, an almost Marx brother's touch that in the wrong hands could be a very cheesy sex comedy.

For those of us that have delivered pizza to stranger's homes: yeah, it could happen. "Ladies, a man is at your door." So that's the premise as our college boy has lost his girl and his tuition, so pizza delivery is his only alternative. The ladies soon shower our novice with money for love. He picks up some pointers. In fact, he enjoys the company of various TV personalities, sitcom ladies, and Carrie Fisher. Naturally the husbands find out and they're after our emerging Fred Astaire with the suave moves. Will he get his girlfriend back and save his parents marriage? It's worth a few laughs to find out. Also, check out the late 80's fashions.

A quirky film about a single mother and the suffocating, tragic love she has for her 6-year-old child, Loverboy serves as an answer to anyone who might wonder if you can love your child too much: Absolutely. Emily (Kyra Sedgwick from The Closer) is an eccentric, anti-social woman yearning for the affection her parents showered on each other, but never on her. All her hopes and dreams are thrust upon her young son Paul (Dominic Scott Kay). Not only is adorable, but he's also incredibly mature and patient. Though his mother lavishes him with attention, gourmet meals, and an almost fairytale existence, Paul wants stability and normalcy. He yearns for a father. He wants to go to school with the other kids. And though he's only 6, he's old enough to know that having a mother who refers to him as "Loverboy" is just plain wrong. Directed by Sedgwick's husband, Kevin Bacon (The Woodsman, Mystic River), the film veers unsteadily between ironic comedic moments and touching drama. Full of cameos (Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon, Oliver Platt, Marisa Tomei, and Bacon, who plays Emily's father in flashback sequences), the film does a fine job of conveying Emily's desperation to be the only person who matters to Paul. But because she's such a manipulative freak, it's difficult for the viewer to feel much empathy for her as she tries to shelter her boy from the world. "There's no falling in love like the falling in love with a child," she says early in the movie. Ultimately, that's her downfall. --Jae-Ha Kim

If you like Kyra.......2007-06-26

buy it. It's a bit strange though. Blair Brown is in it as well as Sandra Bullock and others. I love Sandra's character. A touch of schoolgirl on girl crush in it.

poignant and somewhat disturbing.......2007-06-06

I had no idea this movie was based on a novel. Had I known that, I would have read the book first. It was a very dramatic film but is not a complete downer. It had a bittersweet ending which took me by surprise, although the first segment of the ending is predictable. I would have preferred to have the ending the same way it happened in the book, but Kevin Bacon decided to change it to show the beauty and value of the relationship between Kyra Sedgwick's character and her son Paul.

Basically, this story is about a woman who grew up being neglected by her parents and demonstrates what can and does happen when the child grows up. Neglecting children is often worse than physically abusing them. One of the strange things about humans is that whatever terrorizes and tramatizes us in childhood, becomes a source of attraction later in life. In this film we see a woman who was tramatized by neglect from her parents (physically, emotionally and mentally). Her parents always put her down, embarrassed her, showed her hardly any affection. Her parents were so close to each other yet so far from her. As the little girl becomes a woman, she becomes a loner or an outcast and is eccentric. When she has a child by some random man she hooked up with, she becomes close to the child, yet so far from him. So far from him in that she doesn't care about his true feelings and doesn't care about him as a person and this is the same thing which traumitized her as a child (neglect). All she is wants from him is love... forever.

Lets not put lipstick on the pig .. its a psychopath movie!.......2007-05-19

Actually I don't really like psychopath movies and I'm a little bugged out that the 'previews' pushed the concept of 'an overy obsessive mother' wanting to have the perfect child. Trust me that is not the case with the kind of ending this movie dumped on my lap .....

OK the good thing about the movie and it's time warp meandering meant that I didn't know how it was going to end, but, of course even though it had all the elements that our heroine would any minute fall on the right track, way down deep, I knew it wasn't going to end well.....

To make matters worse I'm not a big fan of Kyra Sedgewick and her TV series but she certainly was stupendous in this movie and with that smoking hot body .... well nuff said ......

Tries but doesn't quite succeed.......2007-03-04

Kyra Sedgwick turns in a fine performance as a woman obsessed with having a perfect child. But somehow, the film just plods along without becoming as disturbing as it should have been.

A Creepy Little Movie.......2007-02-10

"Loverboy" is a creepy, little-seen drama that marks the directorial debut of Kevin Bacon and stars Kyra Sedgwick. I wanted to see the movie because I like Kevin Bacon and it's always interesting to see actors trying to direct, I knew little about the synopsis, and whether you love or hate this movie...I doubt you'll forget it afterwards. This is a creepy movie, that could be creepier in different hands but Bacon takes a film that has echoes of movies like "The Virgin Suicides" and every other "mother who loves son way too much" movie and saves it from becoming a soap opera. Sedgwick gives a dynamite performance as Emily, a woman who desperately wants to have a child. Being neglected as a child by her Romeo & Juliet-like parents (played by Bacon and Marisa Tomei), she wants to have a perfect child whom she can be with for the rest of her life. When she finally conceives a baby with a man (Campbell Scott) during a one night stand, she moves as far away from other people as she can and begins to raise her son Paul whom she dubs "Loverboy." As Paul gets older, he begins to want to go to school. But the outside world overwhelms Emily and she desperately tries to keep her and her son together. A movie with incestual overtones and one of the more haunting endings I've seen out of a film from 2006, "Loverboy" is not a film that will appeal to the masses. The film is not perfect, but it is good and Bacon is a good director who worked with a great cinematographer on the film. The movie has a lot of atmosphere to it and features some beautiful cinematography and art direction. The script is very well written, because it does come very close to going over-the-top. This material is difficult to handle without it becoming a farce and it's handled really well (after all the screenwriter's last name is Shakespeare, so it better be good right?). As for Sedgwick, she gives an incredible performance that didn't gain a lot of notice. She narrates the entire film and as a person who is not incredibly fond of voice-over, I was surprised to find how creepy it is. Sedgwick doesn't just act in this film, she gives a PERFORMANCE. She really gets into the soul of the character and doesn't make her unbelievable for one second. I'm not sure what message the film is trying to send, if it is trying to send, but it hits home during the ending. The movie has a lot of famous (and good) actors in it including Matt Dillon, Sandra Bullock, and Oliver Platt to name a few. As I said, not a lot of people will like this movie. But IT IS well done and worth the watch. I guarantee you'll be thinking about the ending days later.
