2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

capone666 Weird ScienceIn 1985, teenagers could only use computers for menial tasks like hacking into military missile silos.Also, according to this comedy, they could be used to create babes.Socially awkward high school students Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) use their home computer to download the woman of their dreams, Lisa (Kelly LeBrock).Determined to bring her creators out of their shells, the hypersexual avatar throws the boys a house party and invents their crushes, their tormentor (Robert Downey, Jr.) and a post-apocalyptic biker gang to the shindig. However, Wyatt's older brother (Bill Paxton) threatens the fun.An adaptation of EC Comics' popular science fiction title from the 1950s that has been run-through the John Hughes' adolescent pathos machine, this out-there cult classic remains a touchstone of eighties comedies thanks to the aforementioned writer/director. Incidentally, if computers could create woman then men wouldn't need computers to lure them.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Weird Science" is definitely one of the memorable movies from the 1980's, and it is without a doubt also one of the movies that instantly comes to mind when you think movies from the 1980's. Furthermore, it is a classic in its own right, and it is a movie that you can watch over and over again.The story is about Gary (played by Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (played by Ilan Mitchell-Smith), two high school students without any luck with the women and often at the end of the bullies shenanigans. After seeing a "Frankenstein" movie on late night TV, they decide to create their own ideal woman (played by Kelly LeBrock) on the computer. But when their creation takes physical form and becomes a real woman, the two teenagers find that their luck has changed and popularity is just around the bend.When you watch "Weird Science" these days you are just amused with the graphics that were used in the movie back in the day. Sure, it was grand and impressive back then. And seeing that is a nostalgic trip back to the glorious 1980's.It is a combination of the storyline, the characters and the cast ensemble that makes the movie stand out so nicely and work so well.The cast list includes Kelly LeBrock which is very much the epitome of the 1980's for many men whom were young adults or adults during the 1980's. But it also has some other impressive appearances, for example Bill Paxton in the hilarious role of Chet, but also Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Rusler as the two high school bullies. Furthermore, there is also some nice appearances by Vernon Wells and Michael Berryman as two bad guys.If you were watching movies during the 1980's, then chances are slim to none that you are not already familiar with this lovable movie. And on the off-chance that you aren't already familiar with "Weird Science", then do take the opportunity to sit down and watch it should you get the chance. This is a very enjoyable movie in every way.

Sean Lamberger A pair of hapless teenage geeks create their dream woman with the aid of a home computer and proceed to turn their social standing upside down. Not a high point for John Hughes, who directed this paper-thin fever dream of a slapstick comedy after writing the screenplay in just two days. Hughes would become known for quick penmanship later in his career - he'd write Ferris Bueller in roughly the same amount of time - but in this case that efficiency leads to an imaginative premise that never really grows to maturity. Anthony Michael Hall, in something of a leading role after breakout performances in National Lampoon's Vacation and Sixteen Candles, is responsible for a lot of what works about the finished product. His comic timing is excellent, even in the most absurd situations (of which there are many). Hall particularly soars in one drunken scene, spilling his guts and making unlikely friends with the regulars in a seedy ghetto jazz bar, but that's an early climax and the film struggles to outdo it on the home stretch. Props and gimmicks pad out the rest of the ride, along with a generous dose of fresh, Hughsian, era-defining new wave cuts. Cheap and easy, but invariably charming and authentically funny; I've burnt weeknights with worse films.

Realrockerhalloween Weird science has got to be the most illogical picture John Huges ever scripted, but I can't say is that it doesn't have appeal.Two teenage boys Wyatt and Gary take inspiration from Frankenstein to create the perfect woman who will bend to their every will. What they didn't expect is for Lisa to have a mind of her own and a few powers thrown in for effect.I never heard of a computer hologram that can become a living breathing person not does it go into what Lisa really is. A genie? A mystical goddess from another time and place?What makes this movie work is that the comedy aspect work very well rather the boys are finding frozen grandparents in the closet, Lisa mentioning private moments in the bathroom to parents or when a house party erupts into an outrages smorgasbord carnival funhouse.In the end, Gary and Chet really do overcome insecurities to become brave young men who don't need a model to make them into cool guys. It was already inside them screaming to come out.Weird Science is full of heart and witty humor that will have you coming back to revisit again and again.
