Product Description
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 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 material at 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!System Requirements: Running Time 103 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 027616902146 Manufacturer No: 1005983

 Really dumb movie... April 20, 2009
carmenmiranda
I think Jami Gertz elevates most movies she's in, this one is a complete dud. You have to be in a really specific frame of mind to enjoy this one. Like comatose. Or on medication. Steve Guttenberg's mullet is a curiosity, but not enough to waste an hour and a half.
 Romantic Comedy Delight March 5, 2009
Nora (The Lovely Garden State)
Sure, it's silly and fluffy, but it's just such good fun! Shelley Long is wonderful as dizzy Lizzie Potts, romance writer and meddler extrodanaire, and Jamie Gertz is adorable in the female lead. Based on Sarah Bird's excellent (and even better) book, The Boyfriend School is a sweet, silly romance that's bound to lift your spirits. None of the usual snark and male-bashing found in today's "romantic" comedies, either, which is a HUGE plus for me.
 what can I say?? February 28, 2009
Kathryn Schirm
What can I say, this cheesey movie is fun to watch. Love the way Shelly Long's character talks to her young daughter. And always love the underdog to win in the end. And the main characters are like old friends.

J. Rice (Bend, OR)
Love this movie, it will be a true classic. I am sure every woman has fantisized this would happen to her at one time or another, and actually it happened to me!
 The Male Makeover... December 13, 2008
K J Fuddly (Top O' Texas)
Finally, we get to see a guy change to get the girl for once. All the other movies have a girl going through the Cinderella makeover to get the guy. In this movie, the leading man, Gus (Steve Guttenburg), is transformed by his romance-novel-writing sister, Lizzy (Shelley Long) from a recovering chemo-patient into a Lorenzo Llamas look-a-like. "Dud to stud in 12 easy lessons." A comedic romp with not just two, but four great comedic actors.
