Natalie Melendez The Boyfriend School is a classic tale and it goes a little something like this: A socially awkward (but good-natured) cancer survivor falls in love with a beautiful woman whom he knows virtually nothing about, except that she's attractive and not the least bit interested in him as a person. His sister, a trashy romance novelist, helps him out by putting him through a rigorous diet and exercise plan. She also advises him to change his name, ethnicity, and adopt the characteristics of a standard, douche-bag Alpha-male. Wahla! He blossoms from a pale, sickly, bald guy named Gus to a bronzed, hard-bodied beach bro (with a curly blond Lorenzo Lamas-lookin' mullet) named Lobo. Suddenly the object of his desire is interested. Of course, at some point he has to come clean about who he really is and she has to realize that while she was so caught up in the superficial, she failed to realize that Gus was the man of her dreams all along... yadayadayada. What's the point of this story? Inner-beauty triumphs over outer-beauty. Of course, you have to look good in order for people to even want to get to know your inner-beauty. Oh, and it doesn't matter if you're a superficial nitwit because there will always be some dude out there happy to change himself to be the man of your dreams. Message received, Hollywood. Thanks a lot!

H_Spengler This is just a cute popcorn romance movie that is unlike any other comedy/romance movie i've seen before. Based on the book "The Boyfriend School." Guttenburg looks handsome, Gertz is charming as the initially shallow object of affection. Shelly Long steals every scene she's in with an overly cheery, matter o' fact personality. It's a simple story, but it works. Guttenburg plays hapless Gus, who falls in love with Emily (Gertz.) Realizing that she would never go for him in his present state (he's recently won his bout with Hodgkins) he transforms himself into romance novelesque "Lobo" the mysterious hunky foreign stranger (with the assistance of his romance novel author sister Lizzie (Long.) In an effort to win her heart. I won't ruin the movie for those of you who haven't seen it, it's fun, refreshing and a cute little movie with memorable scenes, characters and an original premise.

MBHenderson00 The Boyfriend School has to be my favorite comic novel of all time, followed closely by Kotzwinkle's Midnight Examiner. I was disappointed that the screenplay told the story from Gus's point of view, which removed the element of surprise that made the novel so wonderful. Gretchen got turned into an "Emily," when one of her self-esteem issues had to do with her name.And what happened to Juanita? I loved Juanita! I can't bear to talk about what was done to the character of Trout. However, the casting of the main characters, Lizzie, Gus, and the newly christened "Emily," was excellent. I'm waiting for a remake from the point of view of Gretchen. The novel is still at the top of my list and lying in permanent repose on my nightstand, with a "loaner" copy available for my friends.

Are-you-having-your-period This movie is the worst, most pathetic 'comedy' I have ever been subjected to! It is dull as hell, and you don't even care about the characters! This movie is cliched, boring and stupid! My review would be more indepth, but words can'r fully express how bad this movie is!
