An oldie and, mostly, goodie
15 March 2013 | by (Toledo, Ohio) – See all my reviews

Randy (Patrick Dempsey) has fallen in love with a co-ed at this college. In fact, the two are living together. But, alas, Randy can't seem to tell his folks when they arrive to take him home for a break. His gal is not happy. She's not the only one. when his parents (mom is played by Kate Jackson) find out that his grades are just terrible, they pull him out of school altogether. Now, Randy will have to get a lucrative summer job, so that he can afford next year's tuition. But, his delivery job at Senor Pizza doesn't seem to be cutting it. Plus, Randy hates having to sport a fake mustache and zany outfit, as well as getting behind thee wheel of a sombrero-topped car! But, hold the phone! Sometimes Randy has to deliver to Beverly Hills. It is there that a lovely lady (Barbara Carrera) offers to give excellent tips for a bit of fun in the sack. She's not the only one. Soon, several frustrated wives of 90210 (Kristie Alley, Carrie Fisher, and others) are ordering pizzas with extra anchovies. That's the signal that they wish Randy to be the deliveryman. But, with all this action, aren't husbands bound to find out and be very upset? Also, with the money he is collecting, it looks like Randy will be headed back to college. What in the world will he tell his girlfriend, if she still loves him? As one of Dempsey's first big roles, this is a charmer with plenty of laughs. Yes, the subject matter is somewhat risqué, which will not please everyone. Even so, most viewers will appreciate the fine cast, the nice setting, the great costumes and the go-for-broke attitude. No, its not very sophisticated and has a good deal of crude humor. But, all in all, this is truly an oldie and, mostly, goodie.
