This is one of my favourite films from the 1990's it's funny, bizarre and yet sweet at the same time, My Boyfriend's Back is different than most of the teen comedies of today. Mary Beth Hurt & Edward Herrman played the part of the parents to perfection, they supported their son and didn't seem frightened by his return from the grave.Supporting cast members Traci Lind, Matthew Fox, Austin Pendleton, Paul Dooley & Phillip Seymour Hoffman all delivered great performances in this demented comedy.Johnny Dingle (Lowery) has been in love with the prettiest girl in school Missy McCloud (Lind) for 12 years now with the senior prom coming up he's finally gonna get up the nerve to ask her to be his date. However her jock boyfriend Buck Van Patten (Fox) squashes his chances of that happening in an attempt to get her to go with him Johnny comes up with the craziest idea ever.This film seemed bizarre, weird and yet romantic at the same time the main character played by Andrew Lowery showed the depth of his love for his girl by returning from the dead to have the dance he's been waiting for.for anyone who loves the strange and the undead I recommend this delightful and demented comedy.

Okay, I first saw this movie when I was around 8 or 9. My mom showed it to me (she kind of has a twisted humor.. Haha...) Anyways, I had always remembered it as being funny. That was about 5 or 6 years ago, so I barely remembered anything about the movie. Recently though, I had been thinking about it. I was DYING to see it, and since they had it like, nowhere, I decided to order it off of Amazon.I watched it again about a few weeks ago when I got the DVD, and it was as great a movie as I remembered it! It's a hilarious movie! (Well to me anyways) A lot of people don't like it because of the towns reaction to Johnny being back from the dead, and how normal it seems to them. But thats whats FUNNY about it. It's the ridiculousness of it all that I love. Plus, it has some of the best one-liners of all time! So, overall, this movie is fantastic! If your looking for an Oscar-worthy performance, don't watch this movie. The director knew he wasn't going to be getting awards for it, so he had a bit of fun with it. That's what I love. So watch it! You won't be disappointed.

1993 was the year. This was long before Phillip Seymour Thomas had won an Oscar. Who knew I would be an extra in a movie with him? I was actually a paid extra in "My Boyfriend's Back," which was shot in a suburb of Austin called Georgetown, TX. The original title was "Johnny Zombie" (thank God the producers had a change of heart!) I was in the theater scene. I rushed out to watch the movie the day it was released in theaters. It is more of a comedy than a horror movie. But... for a good laugh, you might want to check it out. Nothing that is even close to "Dawn of the Dead" or even "Shaun of the Dead" quality, but the cheese factor is good enough. ciao

What an entertaining film for the masses, full of comedy and mystery. While this movie is intended for a younger audience, it contains enough humor for all to enjoy. If you are expecting a serious thriller that will draw you to the edge of your seat, keep away. The humor in this film arises from its complete lack of realism, as the plot in itself is as far fetched as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. However, this movie is far more original and entertaining. If you enjoy finding humor where others may see stupidity, and are in the mood for a laid back "scary" movie full of gory comedy, then you will find this film a perfect fit for you.
