Trying To Find A Film

Post » Tue Sep 18, 2012 5:18 am

Okay so today I remembered a film I saw years ago, after I've seen this film the film has randomly popped up in my head during the years a dozen times.
Thing is, apart from the premise, I don't remember anything, I don't know who the actor is who plays the lead role, nor do I remember the films name.
I don't know if this kinda thread fits in Community Discussion, but I don't know where else to ask it.

So, the film is from the 90's or 80's, it's about a guy who goes to college, he messes things up with his girlfriend nearing the end of the first year and loses her. When he comes home, he doesn't have money to pay for the 2nd year of college, so he picks up a job working at a pizza place. But out of fear that he won't be able to get the money required for college he has to figure out a different way to make money. Things happen and eventually he becomes a "gigolo" for mature women in their 40's or over, which complicates things when he wants to get his girlfriend back.

Anyone remember what this film is called?


(Oh and to make this a real thread; if anyone else remembers the premise of a film they want to see again but can't remember the name for then they can post the premise of the film and ask if anyone knows it's title as well.)

Loverboy with, I think, Patrick Dempsey.

EDIT: Yep, I just googled "college pizza gigolo movie". First hit. :wink:

What google ads will I be faced with now?

Ah, thank you so much! Finally I can start looking for it.

Oh and like I said, if anyone else has a film they vaugely remembers and want the title for it then post what you remember of the film and ask for the title.

I might come back to this thread if another film pops up in my brain.
