Not an exact science

Weird Science (1985)

Written and directed by John Hughes this film stars Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchel-Smith and Kelly LeBrock. Two socially awkward teenage boys manage to create their fantasy woman but things do not turn out exactly as they planned.

This film is not really up there with the rest of John Hughes work but there is still some good stuff in this film. While it may lack humour the film does do a good job highlighting the difference between fantasy and reality as the protagonists have a coming of age weekend. Some of the special effects are a little on the ropey side but otherwise there are some good performances from the cast.


3/5
