Weird Science. A comedy from John Hugues (Home alone, breakfast club, Ferris Bueler's day off...). This is a typical Hugues adolescent movie. Where two nerds Gary and Wyatt (played by Anthony Michael Hall and Llan Mitchell Smith) cannot score with girls... The two losers decide to create the prefect women on their own using their new tech toy: a personnal computer... remmeber this was still a tool of fascination back in the '80s. The result is a not only a drop dead gorgous (Kelly Lebrock) women but also a super genius and she seems imbued with magical powers (think remake of Jinny).

Insues fun and game as the two nerds gain self confidence with difficulty and become men.
Lots of laugh and good '80s music. Note presence of young Robert Downey jr, Bill Paxton and Michael Berryman. A fun teenage oriented movie.

Weird science. Pas de version francaise sur mon DVD... Ce film de John Hugues (Home alone, breakfast club, Ferris Bueler's day off...)fut un bon succès à l'époque. Deux ados nerds décident de créé la femme parfaite sur leur nouveau gadget techno: un ordiateur personnel (ben c`était dans les années `80...). Cette femme parfaite (Kelly Lebrock) est aussi super intelligente et semble avoir des pouvoirs magiques... Une jinny reincarné quoi.

Il en resulte beaucoup de plaisir a mesure que nos deux compères gagnent en maturité et en confiance personnelle. La scène ou ils recoivent chaqun une rutilante voiture sport est très bien réussie. noter la présence de jeunes Robert Downey jr, Bill Paxton et Michael Berryman. un succès assuré pour les ados de coeur.

Great quotes:
Garry: That's not a bad idea.
Wyatt: What?
Garry: Making a girl. Actually making a girl. Like Frankenstein... except cuter.
Wyatt: [stands up] You're serious? [Gary grabs Wyatt by the collar and pulls him towards him]
Garry: Look me in the eye. Do I look serious?
Wyatt: Gary Wallace, that's-that's gross! That's sick! I am not digging up dead girls! [Gary puts his hand over Wyatt's mouth and sits him down on the bed]
Garry: No, I'm not talking about digging up dead girls, Wyatt. I'm talking about your system, idiot, your computer!
...
[Gary is chanting incoherently. Wyatt seemed very confused by his best friend's odd behaviour. They are both wearing bras on their heads]
Wyatt: Gary?... By the way, why are we wearing bras on our heads?
Garry: [hesitates] Ceremonial.
...
Garry: You know, I can't believe this, Wyatt. I'm so disappointed in us. I mean, all our lives we've been saying how great it would be if we went to parties, right? And now it's our party and we're in the john. We're in the john!
...
[Gary and Wyatt are about to go out with Lisa and they both are wearing dorky suits and hairstyles]
Wyatt: What are we going to do with her?
Garry: Look, we'll just go with the situation okay? And I'm sure by Sunday you'll think of something. You're a very bright guy. I have a lot of faith in you okay?
Wyatt: I'm just being practical.
Garry: I know you are and I apperciate it.
Wyatt: But what are we going to do about this mess?
Garry: Wyatt you have plenty of time to clean up tommorrow okay?
Wyatt: Ok but don't get any B.O. on Chet's suit, or he'd kill me. [they walk out of the room and all of a sudden they are wearing nice suits]
Wyatt: Where are we going anyway?
Garry: I don't know she said we're going downtown and OH MY GOD! Whose stuff is this? Is this yours?
Wyatt: Oh shit!
Garry: What's going on here?
Wyatt: I don't know.
Garry: Wyatt, what's going on here?
Wyatt: GARY I DON'T KNOW! But you look good though all right?
Garry: Yeah?
Wyatt: Yeah.
...
Wyatt: [referring to Lisa] Do you think she'll understand? [Gary puts his arm around Wyatt's shoulders]
Garry: I'm sure she will. I mean, I sure as hell wouldn't wanna date you.
[Wyatt grins] Garry: You're not my type, you know.
...
Wyatt: Gary, Gary, Gary! There are motorcycles in my house!
[Gary grabs Wyatt by the lapel and pulls him towards him]
Garry: Wyatt, there are killer mutants in your house, okay? [the front wall of the house is suddenly torn down. Lord General and a biker girl enter the house through it]
Wyatt, Garry: Screw the house!
