Reviews of Weird Science 1985
-
Ahhh memories of adolescense....
That glorious time where girls became figures to gaze at longingly rather than just being annoying and their breasts become objects of wonder instead of the milky life-bags they were before...
Into this red hot soup of hormones and tired right arms stepped Kelly LeBrock and Weird Science and my 11 year old mind was blown to smithereens!
The tale of 2 losers who use their computer skills, black magic and a bra on their heads…

Movie #3 from my 1985: Birth Year Challenge.
So I realise that, just reading the reviews on Letterboxd, this is one of the films which you will either love or hate. I'm in the love category on it.
Its funny, clever and comes from the 80's, which means there is no other generation that Weird Science could work in.
It also has Kelly LeBrock. My God. What a babe.

Every time I watch a John Hughes film, I always have a wonderful sense of nostalgia of a childhood spent watching his films. None more so than Weird Science. The film is classic 80's, two unpopular losers create a living, breathing hot girl through their computer to help them get the girls of their dreams. It's got great performances from the mostly young cast which features Anthony Michael Hall, Bill Paxton & Robert Downey Jnr and all the hallmarks of classic John Hughes direction and a tight, hilarious script.

So much better than I remembered and a fantastic example of 80's fantasy sex comedies. I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did but it is very quotable and excellent fun, would be good to see at the cinema.
Kelly LeBrock was actually very good in the role, not sure how much more depth she could bring to other roles but as the experienced older woman to the two teen boys she was perfect in this…

Well, this is why I love Letterboxd!
I watched this after reading, Scott Adcock's review, I'll just point you over to his page as I can't say I regret trusting him and watching this! Which you'll find here. Thank you indeed!
Chaotic fun! But it's so sweet and nice and feel-good! Left me smiling for a long while, just gotta upgrade my graphics card now to produce a girl of my own! I should add that I hadn't heard Van Halen's, Pretty Woman cover before seeing this! Great soundtrack!
