Loverboy is a 1989 American comedy film starring Patrick Dempsey, Kirstie Alley, Carrie Fisher, Kate Jackson, and Barbara Carrera.

The film follows a down-on-his-luck college student who gets a job as a pizza delivery man and discovers he can make extra money by offering his personal services to dissatisfied housewives.

In his capacity as delivery driver, he soon makes the acquaintance of a middle-aged, wealthy Italian woman, Alex Barnett, who pampers and seduces him.

Further orders come from Dr. Joyce Palmer, director of a women's health practice, and isolated aspiring photographer Monica Delancy.

[4] Sheila Benson of the Los Angeles Times gave a negative review, criticizing its script and its use of physical farce.

Silver adeptly juggles the set pieces, orchestrating a frantic, slapstick climax; and the likeable Dempsey is supported by a dependable cast, including Kirstie Alley as a vengeful doctor and Carrie Fisher as a body-builder's cynical wife.

"[6] David Nusair of Reel Film Reviews wrote, "The movie, which generally unfolds exactly as one might've anticipated, boasts a bubbly, 1980s-centric feel that tends to compensate for its less-than-appealing elements (eg the undercurrent of gay panic), while Silver does a decent job of exploiting the inherently over-the-top nature of the admittedly ludicrous premise".
