My Boyfriends Back (PG: 1993)


My Boyfriend’s Back

(PG: 1993)

Director: Bob Balaban. Starring: Andrew Lowery … Johnny; Traci Lind … Missy McCloud; Danny Zorn … Eddie; Edward Herrmann … Mr. Dingle; Mary Beth Hurt … Mrs. Dingle; Jay O. Sanders … Sheriff McCloud; and others.

With the same late 80’s/early 90’s comedy flair, “My Boyfriend’s Back” is a classic black comedy about a teen named Johnny Dingle who, in love with a girl named Missy McCloud, from childhood, dies before he can profess his love to her. His love is so strong he returns from the grave to take her to prom. But he has to figure out how to stop himself from decaying, or eating other students, before the prom happens. A classic necrophiliac love comedy. The film covers social mistrust and prejudice so acts as a political satire of the times. It is also of the teen satire in the classic aura of John Hughes. Lots of fun!
Rating: 4 stars out of 5.

A hillarious comedy in the style of “40 year old virgin” about a TSA agent named Kirk who is wrapped around the finger of his ex who recently dumped him leaving him in a slump. His friends egg him on that he’ll find someone else. His life changes when the gorgeous blonde Molly comes through his line who accidentally leaves her cell phone which he knightly returns to her. To the shock of his friends, he captivates the attention of this beauty who should be “out of his league” and this causes his ex to become insanely jealous. His heart is torn and confused. Battling with his insecurities and confusion. Its a funny film about insecurities. [rating=4]
