Hello.
The movie was "My Boyfriend's Back" (1993).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107626/
The actor who uttered the line was Matthew Fox, now known from the
television show "Lost."
I ran the quote through a newspaper database available through my
local public libray and came up with:
'It's time to take another look at 1993's "My Boyfriend's Back," a
comedy about a teenager who dies, and then crawls out of his grave to
take his dream date to the prom.
...Matthew Fox of "Party of Five" looks very clean-cut as the dead
guy's rival, Buck Van Patten. Fox wears tennis sweaters and a
letterman's jacket, and woos his steady by saying things like, "I
would walk on glass and eat donkeys for you."'

A "Lost" fan also mentioned the quote last year on a messageboard
devoted to that show:
"... i also like how he said he would eat donkeys for her.. how random
was that??!!"
