Film Review

Weird Science
Directed by John Hughes
Universal Studios Home Video 08/85 DVD/VHS Feature Film
PG-13

In Weird Science, Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ian Mitchell-Smith) are a pair of suburban misfits who create a wonder woman named Lisa (Kelly Le Brock) with their computer. What they get is a sexy dish with brains and an intimate knowledge of what they need. Presto, sports cars are in the driveway, and an obnoxious brother is put in his place. Presto, Gary and Wyatt become attractive to pretty girls. Writer-director John Hughes overdoes some of the aspects of this male teen fantasy but manages to make much of it very funny.
