Weird Science (1985), John Hughes
2.5/5
Utterly 80s, ridiculous & hilarious. Great eye popping performances, big hair, big clothes & big cheesiness. A strange Mary Poppins-esque take on the Frankenstein myth. Before Internet porn, two nerdy boys created the "perfect woman" on their computer, with full hilarious 80s graphics. This perfect woman is part mother, part girlfriend, part friend, part monster, part sex object. And we mustn't forget some racist, homophobic & sexist lines thrown in of course. Some classic moments & of course the crazy 80s Bill Paxton & Robert Downey Jr. Strangely despite all this, this film is somewhat like a fairy tale, full of the sentimental naivete of 80s teen movies.
