The Boyfriend School(Don't Tell Her Its Me alternative title) is a 1990 romantic comedy about a young man named Gus played by Steven Guttenberg who is a cancer survivor who is lonely and miserable. His sister played by Shelley Long is a romance novelist who helps Gus become the man that women wants to love. Gus later meets a young woman named Emily played by Jani Gertz who Long invites to dinner as Emily is a reporter,but romance blossoms between Gus and Emily. But when Gus finds out that Emily doesn't like him romantically,Gus asks his sister to transform him into a hunky man from his sister's novels. It later works as Emily falls for Gus as Lobo the Aussie hunk with the cool mullet haircut. But will he tell Emily who he really is.

Overall I haven't seen this film in years since 2004 on TCM or MGM channel and stumbled across it on Netflix today.

The chemistry between Gus and Emily(Steven Guttenberg and Jani Gertz) is sweet and the story was sweet too. If your looking for a good romantic film then check this one out. I liked it.
