About this movie

The Frankenstein legend takes an uproarious twist in this outrageous special effects-laden comedy from the writer-director of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. Critically acclaimed filmmaker John Hughes is at it again, giving nerdy computer whiz Ilan Mitchell-Smith and his best friend, Anthony Michael Hall, power to create the "perfect woman" (Kelly LeBrock). Like a computer-generated fairy godmother, the duo's out-of-this-world creation guides the pair through the pleasures and pitfalls of adolescence. With a rock beat supplied by many music superstars including Oingo Boingo, this far-out, sci-fi fable brings everyone's favorite teen fantasies to life through the miracle of Weird Science.

show this movie is a classic. between this and The Breakfast Club you can't go wrong. if you grew up in the 1980s and don't know about these movies or Sixteen Candles for that matter you haven't really lived. great movie!

This film is AWESOME!!! Not because of the acting, the writing, the costumes nor the special effects, but it is a beautiful extension of the imagination!!! Given that it is great to possess this title in an 80's collection of films, it can also luster the realities of positive/negative choice given the sole support of a school bud!!! We have all been there!!!!
