Plot: John Hughes's third directorial effort, Weird Science, follows in the tradition of his previous teen-centered films, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith play the wannabe hipster Gary and his nebbish weak-willed best friend, Wyatt, a pair of high-school geeks who are hapless with members of the opposite sex. Using Wyatt's computer, they create what they believe is the ideal woman. A lightning storm brings that woman to life, and she takes the form of Kelly Le Brock. Lisa sets about building their self-confidence, but trouble begins brewing when Wyatt's cruel, military-minded older brother, Chet (Bill Paxton), begins to realize that something is not as it should be. Hughes would finish his cycle of high-school themed films with his next movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Well-intentioned but not great

The Bottom Line:

One of those 80s teen films that was never really that good in the first place but people all pretend is a classic, Weird Science is a film designed for 12 year old boys (and I don't mean that pejoratively) who will no doubt find its wish-fulfillment-loaded plot interesting instead of rather juvenile; parts of the movie are cute and made me fondly remember the days where seeing the naked female form and impressing kids in school were numbers 1 and 2 on my priority list, but nostalgia aside the film is rather mediocre.

2.5/4

Almost forgotten this great flick! The move quality and condition was as advertised. This movie still makes me laugh as I was 16 and still in high school.

I hadn't seen this flick in almost 20 years. I loved it then, and love it now. It's funny. It sets out to do what John Hugh's wanted to do -- entertain and make you laugh. I bought this simply because I am adding all the big 80's movies to my collection. This has some of the most memorable quotes from any of the 80's flicks. And has one of Bill Paxton's most remembered roles.

My item arrived in excellent condition as was described by the seller. It was well packed in bubble wrap and came in a box instead of a flimsy shipping envelope.I will certainly recommend this seller and shop this seller in the future! Thanks!

I purchased this product online with confidence as I had ordered from Amazon in the past when I lived in Georgia. However I will never order again.... This product was ordered in good faith, as being a new DVD. It was most certainly not. The DVD was SCRATCHED, AND HAD FINGER PRINTS ALL OVER IT AND SOMETHING STICKY... ALSO AFTER THIS PURCHASE MY CARD NUMBER WAS STOLEN AND THIS IS THE ONLY PURCHASE EVER MADE ON LINE AND THE BANK TRACED IN BACK TO THIS PURCHASE. MY CARD WAS DUPLICATED AND SOMEONE TRIED TO USE IT IN WEST HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA. I also didn't like the fact that this product was probably sold from a local person as everything was handwritten and the return address was just a few miles away. Now I'm concerned that did they not only steal my bank # but they also have my local address...
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU ALLOW PEOPLE LIKE THAT TO REPRESENT YOUR GOOD NAME.
Sincerely, No longer an Amazon Customer...
