"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
My Boyfriend's Back | 1993 | PG-13 | - 4.5.3
Recently dead teen comes back as a zombie, dead-set on taking the town belle to the prom.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Several passionate kisses and some cleavage. Lust, virginity and seduction are the main themes. There is one sex scene with a teen couple (in underwear) simulating sex in front of a cheering crowd. Many sexual and anatomically explicit references, and many double entendres.

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Lots of gross-out stuff. The teen zombie keeps losing body parts: we see his ear fall off while a girl is kissing it; his nose flies off when he sneezes; his arm is pulled off and his leg drops off; also we "hear" his private parts hit the floor. A teen dies when he plants an axe in his own head. The zombie eats his stomach, off screen (but we hear slurps and see his bloody face); he also eats a man until he's a talking head on a skeleton. A teen is shot in the chest repeatedly.
LANGUAGE 3 - Several scatological and anatomical terms, name calling and cussing.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Necrophilia, lust, love, obsession, robbery, death, zombies, cannibalism, prejudice.
MESSAGE - Love can conquer death, but with side-effects.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Mufasa: The Lion King - 1.4.2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - 1.3.3
The Piano Lesson - 3.5.4
Homestead - 1.5.4
