Quotes:
Emily: Fitting in with the outside world, respectability, suitability, conformity, were never high on my priority list; neither was normalcy. I admit: I cultivated arrogance. The world would be our school; I wanted to learn it and teach it to you. moreFAQ

I'm from Brazil, and I don't know how, but Loverboy is available in DVD in Brazil in every videostore...I rented it, I was expecting a great movie as the directional debut of Kevin Bacon, an actor that I think is one of a kind in his choices and performances...The movie is OK, it's about a super jealous mother(Kyra Sedgewick), that made everything to have a son and tries to create him in a world apart from everybody, but then the boy starts to have ''outside'' contacts, and wants to go to school and be a normal kid, and her mother starts going mad. She's that crazy because of her creation, and we learn from flashback scenes, that her parents(Kevin Bacon and Marisa Tomei) were really ''different'' and she wanted a neighbor(Sandra Bullock) to be her mother. Then there are parts involving the school and a beach-area, and then the finale, that's a bit forced, but I won't reveal anything, because it would ruin the surprise ending. The acting is really good: Kyra Sedgewick is really good here,she's in almost every scene and even that sometimes she overacts, she shows a great range of emotions,a great body(that her husband shows very much in the beginning...) and, in certain parts, she has a strong resemblance to a younger Glenn Close; the boy, who i don't know the name, also gives a bravura performance, as a starter he shows he has talent, sharing a good chemistry with Kyra, and making the ''rebel'' parts very believable; then there are smaller parts or even cameos by Kevin Bacon and Marisa Tomei as the fathers of the Kyra's character(Marisa overacts here, trying so hard to be a crazy bitch, with colorful clothes); Sandra Bullock as the mother rule-model to the girl-Kyra(She can't show real acting, her part is important, but very small); Mat Dillon as a love interest, (wich isn't well worked in the screenplay, with Dillon doing the best he can with the part); Campbell Scott as the kid's father(that's a cameo); and Oliver Platt as a school worker(nothing important...). The flaws are over the screenplay, that never goes deep in the mother's craziness, and has some confusing parts as the one that happens in the beach and the soundtrack, that is a bit goofy and too funny, when it needed to be more serious. Anyway, this is a good movie, not great not bad, with some flaws but also with some very good stuff, as the acting of the two leads. The disappointment I said, came from the fact that I was waiting something more serious and edgy from Kevin Bacon as a director, not a dramedy, that is what the movie ends being.
