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.

Audience Member Pretty bad movie. Mindless 80's hijinks. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring film, didn't even finish it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Delivery boy does more than delivering pizzas in this Graduate style comedy that never seems to have identity of its own. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
