Another one of John Hughes` 80s Teen Comedys. Imagine watching this one as a 15 year old nerd back in the time. Yep, that´s how it was for me and I bet for a lot of other guys, too. But even today as a grown up I really like this movie. It´s kind of nice seeing some of todays actors at the beginning of their careers. And wasn`t Kelly LeBrock something to look at ? Name me one teenage boy who would not have liked his own Lisa ;-)

This movie was an acid trip, and definitely "of the time". There is simply no way this would be made now. Kelly LeBrock's hotness carries the majority of this movie, everything else is just background noise and over the top slapstick, but I can't say it wasn't entertaining on some level.

well, that was entertaining. It is kind of weird now watching this in 2020 though. but yeah, young 80s teens' fantasy come to life (or a movie).

A pair of hapless teenage geeks create their dream woman with the aid of a home computer and proceed to turn their social standing upside down. Not a high point for John Hughes, who directed this paper-thin fever dream of a slapstick comedy after writing the screenplay in just two days. Hughes would become known for quick penmanship later in his career - he'd write Ferris Bueller in roughly the same amount of time - but in this case that efficiency leads in an imaginative premise that never really grows to maturity. Anthony Michael Hall, in something of a leading role after breakout performances in National Lampoon's Vacation and Sixteen Candles, is responsible for a lot of what works about the finished product. His comic timing is excellent, even in the most absurd situations (of which there are many). Hall really soars in one drunken scene, spilling his guts and making unlikely friends with the regulars in a seedy ghetto jazz bar, but that's an early climax and the film struggles to outdo it on the home stretch. Props and gimmicks pad out the rest of the ride, along with a generous dose of fresh, Hughsian, era-defining new wave cuts. Cheap and easy, but invariably charming and authentically funny; I've burnt weeknights with worse films.

I'm sure all the teenage boys in the 80s loved this. I mean Kelly LeBrock is gorgeous and who wouldn't want to make her. The first two acts are fun but it gets a little too crazy.
