Delivering pizzas doesn't pay much -- especially when Randy Bodek (Patrick Dempsey) needs to earn enough to fund next semester's college tuition. During a routine delivery, however, Randy meets a sexy older woman named Alex (Barbara Carrera). The pair become lovers, and soon she's recommending Randy's services to all her unhappily married friends -- just order a pizza with extra anchovies and tip well. But, as Randy soon learns, life as a professional gigolo can get pretty complicated.

I went with 2 stars with this movie, very nostalgic movie from back in the day. I seen this movie many times and I would watch it again. Corny movie to some but even today you can get a few laughs out of it. A 80's movie to watch at least one time at least 2 stars.

Very enjoyable movie from start to finish, starring Patrick Dempsey, an 80s icon. Great scenes, funny dialogue. Tony the Italian and his quest for Randy's mother are classic. I have many anchovies for you! A father's worst nightmare, "And you always think its the other guy." Kirstie Alley pre weight gain. A must see for any guy, you might actually pick up a few pointers. Alex, is the sexy older lady who puts out the 411 on the Love Doctor of Beverly HIlls. $200 for a pizza delivery with extra anchovies. Intruder alert, violator, violator, run papa. The under-appreciated wives gets back at their husbands. The hotty mom with the swimming pool, just great storytelling. The dream or shall I say nightmare with Doctor Reed Palmer. Stands the test of time.

The schtick Dempsey carved out at this time in his career was entertaining and this follows that script to a tee.

Stilly 80s teen comedy about Patrick Dempsey as a pizza delivery boy who becomes something of a gigolo for lonely housewives. The comedy isn't all that funny and I've never been much of a McDreamy fan, but I did like a lot of the 80s supporting cast which includes Kate Jackson, Barbara Carrera, Kirstie Alley, and Carrie Fisher as a few of the hot moms. There's also Nancy Valen as Dempsey's girlfriend, E.G. Daily, Dylan Walsh, Vic Tayback and Robert Picardo. Give the film credit for tapping the the hot-older-lady MILF story before it got huge, though I suppose "The Graduate" and "Class" hit on this as well. Forgettable but entertaining enough to pass the time.

Completely stupid, yet oddly amusing. Toss this into the Guilty Pleasures pile.
