Weird Science

This humorous 80's smash hit is about two teenage nobodies who crave popularity but don't know how to get it.

The duo, who have a reputation as losers, are Gary (Hall) the hard working student and Wyatt (Smith) the computer wizard.

They decide the cure for their non-existent social lives is to design their own girlfriend and - with the help of Wyatt's computer brain, a Barbie doll and their considerable knowledge of centrefolds - make her perfect in every way.

Their artificial girlfriend Lisa (LeBrock) then starts to transform the boys from losers to party animals using little more than her charm and beauty.

The trio end up on a series of adventures which obviously involve getting drunk, driving fast cars and having wild and destructive parties - all new experiences for the hapless pair.

The party they throw might have kick-started their search for popularity but it in turn destroys the house - landing Wyatt in a spot of bother.

A classic teens movie from the 80's. Brilliantly directed, with some of cinema's best one liners. While the storyline may seem a touch far-fetched, the enthusiatic acting more than makes up for this. And as for Kelly Le Brock...Oooh La La!!!!!
