Loverboy

Child abuse. Pianos crashing into cop cars. A pizza delivery gigolo just trying to make his way into college. Silver remedies wants over needs with teen spirit and a charming young Dempsey. Great gags. Physical comedy. And never lets up. It’s the kind of movie you put on when it’s that time of the month and you have no one around you and no more tears left to cry on sadness overspent. The film takes turns, puts plot on its head, complicates relationships with everyone, and you’re left with a lot of love for everyone in that lighthearted love that America loves to love when there’s too much traffic and too much work in a week that feels like forever. It lifts spirits. Kills worries. Pitch perfect.
