Don't Tell Her It's Me (alternately titled The Boyfriend School) is a 1990 comedy film starring Steve Guttenberg, Shelley Long, Jami Gertz and Kyle MacLachlan. The film was directed by Malcolm Mowbray and written by Sarah Bird (adapted from her novel The Boyfriend School).[2][3]

Plot[edit]

Gus Kubicek (played by Guttenberg) is a depressed and overweight cartoonist who recently won a battle against Hodgkin's disease. His caring sister Lizzie Potts (Long), a nosy romance novelist, responds to his sadness by trying to set him up with a suitable woman. Yet to do so she must make him seem more dynamic and attractive. When Gus falls in love with Emily Pear (Gertz), he adopts the persona of Lobo Marunga, a leather-clad biker from New Zealand.[2]

Emily ends up falling for Lobo but Gus tries to tell Emily the truth as he ends up in bed with her. The next day Lobo tells Emily that he's Gus and she gets furious with him and tells him to get out. Gus, hurt, supposedly goes away to New York when in fact he is going to a friend's wedding. The movie ends with Emily tracking down Gus at the airport and they share a kiss as Lizzie watches through binoculars.

Shelley Long is utterly charming as always. How could anyone not have chemistry with her. :) Always gold.Casting on this movie is excellent. Terrifically talented all the way around. This is THE movie for a cozy rainy Sunday & homemade oatmeal raisin cookies.

Movie about a guy who falls for a girl, but pretends to be something he’s not. Happy ending.

This movie was titled Don't Tell Her It's Me when I first saw it and I can't think of it with any other title. This is another great comedy with Shelly Long, though Steve Guttenberg is the star. He's a great actor with a lot of talent. This is a great feel-good movie.

This is a cute movie. I saw this movie in the late 80's on tv. I really loved this movie and it was very hard to get because it was only released in Europe and another language. Imagine my surprise when my mother and I were talking about this movie and I looked it up, ordered it and now I have it in my grubby hands😣😀👏👏👏
