Weird Science is directed by John Hughes who also brought you Ferris Beuller's Day Off and The Breakfast Club. Together with these films, in my opinion makes the ultimate 80's Comedy selections.
The story centres around Gary (Antony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith), two high school students with no friends, who are picked on by Wyatt's older brother (Bill Paxton) and if that wasnt bad enough they are also tormented by the 'cool' school bullies Ian (Robert Downey Jr) and Max (Robert Rusler),they have no social life, and what seems most important to them, they cant get girlfriends. They spend their weekends together watching films and generally not getting up to much....until they hatch a plan....to make their dream girl on Wyatt's computer.
The following scenes show a lot of stereotypical 80's computer graphics which were quite advanced when this film was released, but look retro now(a bit like 'Tron'). Ultimately their wildest dreams come true when they manage to produce their dream woman 'Lisa'(Kelly LeBrock)
Lisa makes it her aim to build up the boys confidence, so that they can achieve their goal of having girlfriends, this is done via a series of challenges.
This film is hilarious. If as a teenager you ever dreamt of making your dream woman, then film is definately a must for you!
Although clearly based at a predominantly male audience, i thoroughly enjoyed it, and would recommend it time and time again...it's on my favourite films of all time list.
