Amazon.co.uk Review
Yes, that is Bill Paxton as 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, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars enough one liners to last a lifetime, 27 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Weird Science [VHS] [1985] (VHS Tape)
I have been rabbiting on about this film for years now and those years have not worn away my love and enthusiasm for it. Forget your worries for a while, kick back and glean the wealth of one liners that this film has to offer and believe me, there's quite a few to keep your mates amused (or bored) down the pub. Just buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars 1980s Must HAVE!!!!!, 16 Jan 2004
By Heather (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weird Science [VHS] [1985] (VHS Tape)
This is a story for every adolescent. It's imaginative, it's well-written, and it's sexy. This is a movie filled w/ great actors... Kelly LeBrock (Where is she now?), Robert Downey Jr., Gary, and Wyatt... scenes in the movie will have you replaying them in real life. A highschool/ College must have. In fact my all time favorite movie! Buy it now!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars True 80s classic, 20 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Weird Science [VHS] [1985] (VHS Tape)
Yep, this sort-of Frankenstein remake is an always funny movie, and absolutely sums up the 80s teen-flick genre. It's very, very silly, but the performances are so snappy, the dialogue so wilfully glib, and the storyline so alluringly nonsensical, you just can't help laughing along. It must be something about this particular film, because back in the 80s, like the previous reviewer, I and a friend memorised the entire film without even trying and would often quote whole scenes to the amazement and delight of all and sundry.
