Classic Friday : Weird Science (1985) 8/10

Starring : Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Illan Mitchell-Smith, Bill Paxton
Director : John Hughes
Running Time : 90 mins

Two high school geeks, Gary (Hall) and Wyatt (Mitchell-Smith), have no luck with women decide to make one of their own using their home computers, but no sooner have they created Lisa (LeBrock) than she starts trying to orchestrate dangerous and awkward situations for them so that they have to act like men rather than boys in front of their peers.

This movie is great fun, and definitely John Hughes silliest yet most likeable movies. The everyman characters of Gary and Wyatt are both likeable and comical, making this one of the finest examples of 80s teen comedies that I can think of.
