Weird Science
If you can't get a date, make one!
The Frankenstein legend takes an uproarious twist in this outrageous special effects-laden comedy from the writer-director of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. Critically acclaimed filmmaker John Hughes is at it again, giving nerdy computer whiz Ilan Mitchell-Smith and his best friend, Anthony Michael Hall, power to create the "perfect woman" (Kelly LeBrock). Like a computer-generated fairy godmother, the duo's out-of-this-world creation guides the pair through the pleasures and pitfalls of adolescence. With a rock beat supplied by many music superstars including Oingo Boingo, this far-out sci-fi fable brings everyone's favorite teen fantasies to life through the miracle of Weird Science.

Not just bad, but creepy. - Derekstar
What nobody ever remembers about this movie is that in the beginning they give Kelly LeBrock the intelligence of a 5th grader. They basically create an underdeveloped retard to masturbate into. Now you may say to me "hey, that fact isn't reflected at all in Kelly LeBrock's performance." Well, I would say that that's just an indication of how shitty this movie really is.Worth watching once or twice. - Blob
I enjoyed the movie the first few times I watched it, but can't do so any more.
Story line is actually quite interesting, especially if you don't know/remember how the story goes There are plenty of laughs in there some more juvenile than others.
Of course if I were 16 and I created a hot female who is at my beck and call, I think the result would be a bit more pornographic, but then, the movie wouldn't be on zip, would it.Love this!!! - Lemonade
Break out the junk food and get eightied out!!!!
This movie brought us back to a time where one-liners were actually good. Anthony Michael Hall is hilarious, although a bit over the top.
We were singing along to the 'weird science' song at the end and felt happy to see a movie to let loose with and not use our brains too much.
Don't expect a superb script but it's a lot of fun.
