2 guys named Gary and Wyatt aren't popular with chicks. They can only have dreams.....but do they really need dreams? They got a computer to create a woman. Her name is Lisa and she is the whole world to these guys. They believe it will solve all their problems, too....they will only find out.

This movie is sooo funny. I watched it again for the umpteenth time this afternoon.

The scene at the nightclub with a drunk Anthony Michael Hall talking like a black jazz man totally cracks me up!

There are plenty of funny scenes in this movie. Plus, it's got a great cast.

I'll admit it - the original reason I first watched this movie was to see Kelly LeBrock. She's breathtakingly beautiful in this!

She's also very funny. "I'll kick your ass, Al" is one of the funniest lines in the movie.

This is a hliarious movie that really holds up well over time. Go watch it for the umpteenth time. It'll still make you laugh!

"Weird Science" is another John Hughes 80s flick, made after his masterpiece, "Sixteen Candles", and the excellent "Breakfast Club". No Molly Ringwald this time, but Anthony Michael Hall is in fine form, playing one of a duo of socially-inept (but computer genius) nerds who decide to create their own woman.

The movie is quite odd, with several surreal scenes that will have you shaking your head (but in a good way). Who could imagine, while the opening credits roll, that very soon AMH will be imitating an elderly black man in a bar, talking about women who have broken his heart? Who could imagine that an MX missile will play a role in the movie's denoument? Who could imagine that a slurpee could be a deadly projectile?

Kelly LeBrock is smoking hot as Lisa, the girl created from a Barbie doll and some microchips. Robert Downey, Jr. and Bill Paxton also appear, but it's the John Hughes directing touch that really propels this film.

Buy the DVD - despite having no extras, this is a film you won't get tired of. It bears repeated watchings very well.

I just recently saw this movie after hearing a lot about it. I tend to stick with the classics, which include "The Breakfast Club," "Pretty in Pink," and "Sixteen Candles," but thought it would be nice to try another John Hughes movie. I was not disappointed. You can clearly tell it's from the mid-80's, as in one scene of the movie, you see David Lee Roth doing his show DAVE TV, plus the hair and fashions are totally 80's as well.

Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell Smith) are two high school students who feel rejected from the popular crowd, not that they were ever a part of it. They desperately want to fit in and have difficulty doing so. On one weekend, Gary is spending the night at Wyatt's house and gets the idea to create the ideal woman after watching a Frankenstein movie. Wyatt is apprehensive, but it isn't long before they are typing away at their computer, designing the dimensions for their ideal woman, and feed different body parts into the computer. After some major explosions in Wyatt's room, Kelly LeBrock emerges as the ultimate woman. Essentially, in a nutshell, what she does is to show them that standing up for themselves is good, and gives them self-confidence in the process. They really needed this. In certain scenes, Wyatt is quite a looker, but he just needs self-confidence.

I found Bill Paxton's character, Chet, to be utterly hilarious in his delivery and his military-like persona. He is such a bully, but he serves his role well. Robert Downey Jr. is one of the popular punks who helps in dumping a slurpee on Gary in one scene. Love his yellow socks. He has a guy friend who likes to pick on Gary and Wyatt as well, and they have a couple of beautiful girlfriends who actually seem very approachable. They are getting tired of their boyfriends' immaturity and come close to dumping them after the slurpee incident. But in the end, at the party, Wyatt and Gary finally get these girls as a result of their newfound confidence. They actually make pretty cute couples. Love the scene when Chet hits them in the morning with the butt of his rifle.

This was a great movie, and I am pleased to add it to my favorites of John Hughes movies.

I just saw this for the first time, so I really had very little in the way of preconceptions about it. My impression of the movie is that it was somebody's dream. The whole thing is very dreamlike--there isn't much background; there isn't much explanation; there doesn't need to be. We understand what's going on despite the lack of supporting material.
Besides the lack of explanation or the need for it, other features of the movie add to the list of dreamlike characteristics. The main characters get 'pantsed in front of lots of girls they find attractive. People/creatures who are straight from imagination keep appearing. A missile shows up in an unlikely spot.
And the boys somehow manage to learn from all this--it gives them perspective and teaches them about themselves.
Weird Science is a decent movie. I doubt it will ever be one of my favorites, but it's fun to watch.
