I was watching loverboy and noticed it ended really abrubptly. The three guys tell the parents that he's been sleeping with their wives and then the other guy's mom starts laughing and then all is forgiven. Does anyone know what the original script was before they recut it?
shareI agree
shareYou do bring up a very good point about this and I am totally surprised that they did not create a sequel to this movie. I wonder if it did well enough to have a sequel done?
I would have rather have seen Randy explain his whole situation to his parents and all to see what else happened. That would have been interesting for him to talk about the women he was with.

Well they all got arrested.. and 2 of them made up with their wives.
Plus they were all rich, If your 40-60.. rich and your wife was cheating with a 21 year old Pizza boy.. how pissed are you really going to be at that kid? You're more pissed with your wife and yourself if anything.

True about them all getting arrested and 2 of them making up with their wives.
Yes they were all rich all right! I would be a little angry with the kid but I would be more pissed that my wife was having an affair with another man!

You're a rich business man or Doctor and you're busy banging your secretary or some young hot nurses..
Then your wife is banging some geeky pizza boy.. that's almost 20 years younger than her.. Yes I would blame her more than the kid.. and I'm sure the wife would blame the husband more than the young skank he was banging.

Yes of course the wife is going to blame the husband because he is not romancing her like he once did or giving her nearly as much attention like he once did before. So the wife would blame the husband for his actions if he was having an affair with a younger woman.

Thats my issue with the film. The glorification of the gigolo life style, the film does bring up good points about how his family would feel, or how is girlfriend would feel or all the husbands if they found out.
1. He gets payed good money for the time investment
2. He gets to sleep with beautiful older women
3. His girlfriend forgives him just like that
4. His family are happy about it and barely acknowledge it
5. 2/3 of the husbands forgive their wives and one of the wives actually breaks up with her husband...
6. No mention of STD's and pregnancy
Its very optimistic, its more likely the husbands would leave their wives than the other possibilities. More likely things is his family would be ashamed, his girlfriend would have hard time forgiving him how he made it seem like he wanted to get back together with her after they 'semi-broke up', but while sleeping with many women the whole time...
What the wives should have done is either break up with their husbands or try and rekindle their love life rather than sleeping around and enjoying their husbands wealth.
Its a typical hollywood happy ending where things don't really get resolved just quickly move into everythings good before a nice song and dance that shows off what hes learned about dancing from a women hes slept with, and wanting to learn japanese and photography because of his experiences with 2 of the women which paints a pretty sordid picture, like it was one big learning experience rather than having any real consequences.
Oddly enough for a comedy I would say its done better atleast bringing up points that are disadvantages of the lifestyle even if the ending doesn't resolve them... compared to the Gigolo film with Richard Gear which seemed to just be this unrelated murder frame up where the few people in his personal life just don't care about him. Which did sort of make it clear that being a gigolo (or any sex worker) makes having real relationships difficult.
Considering it was a comedy, I never expected them to get too far into the ugly side of it. That said, the three wives that the movie focused on most all reacted in believable ways.
Kyoko (Kim Miyori) admitted she only married Harry to get to America, and Harry pretty much admitted to Randy's dad that he married a Japanese wife for subservience, not love. It made sense for her to leave him at the end without much screaming -- at least on her part. That jail scene was hilarious.
Joyce (Kirstie Alley) was sort of ambiguous. She might have slept with Randy or she might have just used him for the romantic thrill she wasn't getting with her husband. More than likely she did sleep with Randy. That said, her husband was philandering around even more than she was. It would have been absolutely ridiculous for him to have been pissed at the end. They slapped each other, then realized they brought it on themselves and went on. Joyce never said she wasn't in love with her husband -- just that he was sleeping around behind her back.
Monica (Carrie Fisher) suspected her husband was cheating on her, which apparently he wasn't. She just assumed because he spent all day working with model-types, that he wouldn't be happy coming home to a non-health nut wife who liked the occasional drink and smoke. I doubt very much that she ever slept with Randy. She probably had that intent at first, then became one of the few women who just used him for companionship. There was nothing to really be upset about between her and her husband -- they were obviously never out of love with one another, just insecure, if anything.
The rest of the women are unknowns. There is no way to know which ones Randy slept with (except for the women on whose pillows Randy was shown leaving a rose), and/or which women just wanted some non-sexual companionship.
If anything, the movie plays out like an absurd cautionary tale for husbands, saying, "Be careful neglecting your wife -- she may find someone to fill the empty void, so to speak."
That is only if you're looking for something meaningful out of it. Otherwise it's just a silly take on the idea of a gigolo, intentionally not serious.
Jenny forgiving Randy after everything that happened was one aspect of the ending that did leave me feeling unsatisfied, I will admit. Considering she had just gotten Randy to admit that he would not have forgiven her for doing what he did if the situations were reversed (and with men), it did feel rushed to have her just dance with him at the engagement.
Then again, in the reality of absurd movie comedies, she probably saw that Randy had changed for the better from the experience. He was a slacker punk the last time she saw him at college. After the events of the past few months, Randy ended up more mature, empathetic and less selfish (he cared more about getting his parents back together over trying to convince Jenny to forgive him). He also stood up for her and finally introduced her to his parents -- something she wanted him to do before he left for the Summer.

That one doctor had been sleeping around on his wife for a long time. And she was not 'living off of his wealth'. They both had rich careers. The husband who stayed in jail seemed like a real jerk of a husband. So, that would probably screw up the mind of a younger wife and and drive her to someone else. How crude he was about his friend's secretary implied that he has been sleeping with different women as well.
