Editorial Review:
Yes, that is Bill Paxton as Ilan 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

Rating:  - Excellent 80s comedy!
Two nerdy high school students inadvertently create the perfect female through an experiment. With her charm and her powers, she helps the two gain confidence in approaching women and being affirmative and outspoken with bullies, such as big brother Chet, and the post-apocalyptic road warrior from Mad Max. Hilarious and entertaining! Easily in my top 20.
Rating: - The Holy Grail of Teen Movies
This movie has all the essentials of a great teen comedy: a hot model(Kelly LeBrock), a bully older brother (Bill Paxton), a guy with three names(this one has two, Ilan Mitchell-Smith and Anthony Micheal Hall)and it's directed by John Hughes. Wierd science is a must have for anyone interested in a movie of this genre.
Rating:  - She's into malakas, Dino!
I've seen this movie time and time again over the years. Quotable, comedic brilliance. This is one of Hughes' classics and to be honest, I'm more of a fan of this flick than The Breakfast Club (High School Reunion Collection) (which as we all know is argued as the best of the 'Brat Pack' collection).
It's safe to say that any guy who has used a computer after seeing this movie has wanted their own Lisa, I know I still do.
Highly recommended for a rainy weekend with a few ... Read More
Rating: - Its A Fun Kind Of Weird
I remember when this movie first hit cable television. I loved it! Now, 20 some odd years later, it has lost some of that magic for me but I still enjoyed watching it again and it is a welcome addition to my DVD collection. Fun, light hearted and slightly politically incorrect (the way comedy should be), this is one that will be a hit at your next 80's flashback party.
Rating: - 80's Classic
Definitely a classic 80's movie, always good for a little nostalgic entertainment. Really brings the advances in computers and computer animation in the last few years into sharp focus.
