Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Yes, that is Bill Paxton as Ilan Mitchell-Smith's militaristic big brother. And that's Robert Downey Jr. as one of the in-crowd jerks who makes nerds Mitchell-Smith and Hall's lives miserable. Fortunately, this is a John Hughes comedy and our smart nerds create the perfect woman, Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), using a computer and voodoo. Lisa is a willing sex toy, has magical powers, and just wants to help the boys get even and meet nice babes. She even cleans up. The fantasy ebullience of Hughes is given full rein here and that's good and bad (mostly good). It's all aimed at a certain kind of hormone-addled, 16-year-old sensibility; but who doesn't have a little bit of that in them? --Keith Simanton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Awesome SauceJust one of those movies you watched growing up. And then want to buy when your older! Good movie about the early stages of geeks. Rating: - Wyatt, there are killer mutants in your house, OK?A couple weeks ago I made a list of my top 10 John Hughes movies, and I decided to revisit a lot of his films to ensure I wasn't going on past memories to compile it. WEIRD SCIENCE, one of Hughes' earlier directorial efforts, is probably my favorite of his, because it has the sappy Hughes stuff, the teen angst, sure, but most of all, it is very, very funny. A lot of people who call this film kind of stupid and even (my favorite) unrealistic are kind of missing the point. Two guys create a woman ...

In that classic 80's fashion, only John Hughes can create such a madcap, crazy film such as 'Weird Science'. Social outcasts Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt(IIan Mitchell-Smith) have a little too much time on their hands, with the lack of friends, hobbies, or even jobs. They spend most of their time concocting what they would do if the sun smiled on them and they could attend parties and date the girls they adore; And that's when the brilliant idea strikes! Read More Rating:  - Weird science and bizarre plot elementsThis is not as strong an 80s comedy as some of John Hughes' other work is, but it is all right for a brief comedic diversion. The acting is just okay, Kelly LeBrock is cute but not all that energetic, the music is mostly synth, and the wacko science that disrupts the household does not make a lot of sense, especially during the party scene, when a missile shows up along with some crazed bikers. These distract from the basic storyline. Otherwise, it is amusing enough for a cheap rental, but ... Read More Rating: - MISSING DIALOGUEI recently picked up a copy of weird science on dvd and when watching it noticed some of the original dialogue was cut. The scene when Gary and Wyatt first start to make the girl Gary makes a comment on enlarging the size of her breasts. On this dvd you can see his mouth move but no words are heard. Why this little bit of dialogue would be cut is beyond me but none the less it is so this is really not the movie in its original form. I was 14 when this movie came out and i watched it alot when it came ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
