My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

The catchy theme song, sung by Deborah Gibson, & the comedic situations of this film reminded me of something Doris Day would've starred in, if she were making movies today. It's not for everyone, but it's enjoyable. If Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, & Britney Spears can star in movies, then certainly there are more movie parts out there for Deborah Gibson. This was a good vehicle for her film debut.

Sorry to say, I was bored about 2 minutes into this flick. The actors ham it up so much, they almost distract you from the flat dialogue. The Director tried really hard, maybe too hard, but nothing clicks in this movie. Our audience giggled once, but at the end, we all looked at each other, and left the theater wanting to see a REAL movie.

From the start of the movie I was told by the others watching the movie that it looked like something one of us could shoot at home with some spare time. This was true. The characters were very much overdone. This was also true. I didn't find the male lead very convincing at anything other than being a bumbling idiot. The basic plot idea was quite amusing but needed to be executed a lot better. Valerie Perrine, a long-time veteran of screen seemed very uncomfortable in her role as well. I have to say the one saving grace of the movie appeared to be the screen debut of Deborah Gibson. Though her music has faded into oblivion, I hope she will one day get a script that matches her dramatic talent.

This is a very silly film, but if not taken too seriously it has a few fun moments. It is also totally unrealistic. If you have nothing else to do on a Saturday night, it's not a total bore, but you will forget this one rather quickly.
