No Surprise that Patrick Dempsey Rescues Teen From Car

I knew Patrick Dempsey had it in him.  Haven't you ever seen the movie, "Loverboy"?

Dempsey played a real-life action hero last week, when, using a crowbar, a fire extinguisher and some quick thinking, the actor pulled a teenage boy to safety after his car flipped over near Dempsey's Malibu, Calif., home.

Following the rescue, Dempsey called paramedics and stayed by the teen's side as Weston  Masset was airlifted to the hospital, where he was treated for a concussion and an eye injury.

He will be fine.

Dempsey, 46, also called Masset's mother to apprise her of her son's situation.

"He had a certain authority in his voice," said a "super-grateful" Mary Beth Masset. "I asked if he was a paramedic and he said, 'No, this is Patrick Dempsey.' I thought, 'McDreamy?'"

McDreamy?  No way, do we forget the 1989 movie "Loverboy" where Dempsey played pizza delivery boy Randy Bodek?

As a pizza delivery boy that was sleeping with numerous women that were ordering pizzas, Dempsey had to be adroit at hiding in closets and ducking out of windows to avoid angry husbands.

This role where quick thinking was required prepared Dempsey to rescue injured drivers and become a hero.

He was able to survive in "Loverboy" while delivering pizzas with extra anchovies, and he was able to rescue Weston Masset from being trapped in his car.

Not Sure About 'Three Stooges'

Could be a riot, could be terrible.  I may have to see it.

Left on a nun's doorstep, Larry, Curly and Moe grow up finger-poking, nyuk-nyuking and woo-woo-wooing their way to uncharted levels of knuckleheaded misadventure.

Directed by Peter Farrelly, Bobby Farrelly starring Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, Chris Diamantopoulos, Jane Lynch, Jennifer Hudson, Sofia Vergara, Craig Bierko, Stephen Collins, Larry David.

'American Reunion' Hits Big Screens

In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago return to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn't and that time and distance can't break the bonds of friendship.

It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler's mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.

'The Three Stooges' Coming Next Spring

It will be out sometime in Spring 2012, and it looks pretty funny.  I'm talking about The Three Stooges on the big screen.

This movie was filmed all around Atlanta last summer and fall.  Directed by none other than the Farrelly Brothers, it promises to be a laugh a minute.

It also stars Larry David, Sofia Vergara, Will Sasso and Jane Lynch. 

Here's an early preview.
