Weird Science – one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen!

The movie Weird Science is extremely funny! I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard while watching a movie, even a comedy sitcom! Many times I literally burst into laughter!

By today’s standards the movie is far from political correctness, which makes it even better. Well, the main female character (named Lisa) is actually the smartest character in the whole movie, but she is also extremely sexy (played by Kelly LeBrock) and she understands why the two nerds created her (they wanted a female). The nerds’ plan is actually NOT realised (except for some kissing), but there are lots of hilarious sexist jokes, for example when the nerds are designing Lisa one of them asks the question: “Should we give her a brain?”. They end up giving her “Einstein’s brain”, so the nerds are actually quite “decent”.

The movie is a TRUE teenage movie about the time when teens (or rather their bodies) are ready for procreation and they subconsciously think only about sex. The movie is one big funny exaggeration of such situations. Please notice that Lisa has some “magic abilities” (thanks to it there are as many hilarious scenes as possible), so the word “TRUE” applies only for the teens’ “state of mind”, not to what is actually happening. As I wrote – it’s one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen!

Lisa takes charge of the whole situation and lots of jokes are actually on the nerds. One of the best scenes in the movie is when Lisa picks up Gary to take him to a party and she talks to his parents. Gary is played by Anthony Michael Hall who is AWESOME in this role!


The movie features also Bill Paxton – one of my favourite actors ever! He plays Chet who is Wyatt’s older brother. He’s also a total asshole and a little crazy, but Paxton is, as always, fantastic! “Here's the bottom line, Wyatt. I'm telling Mom and Dad everything. And I'm even considering making up some shit.”


There is also very young Iron Man, I mean very young Robert Downey Jr. who plays a kind of bully!
