7/10
Science in the 80's
22 March 2019
This film involves two high school nerds by the names of "Gary Wallace" (Anthony Michael Hall) and "Wyatt Donnelly" (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) who desperately want to date some of the local females. Unfortunately, none of the local high school girls want anything to do with them. So one night the idea occurs to them to create a woman using Wyatt's sophisticate computer to hack into a top-secret Air Force database. Much to their surprise-and due in large part to certain weather related atmospherics-a beautiful woman they name "Lisa" (Kelly LeBrock) appears out of the smoke and tells them she will do whatever they want. Needless to say, their lives change dramatically from that point on. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought that this was one of the better comedies to come out of the 80's with both Anthony Michael Hall and Kelly LeBrock turning in pretty good performances in the process. I especially liked the scene at the seedy nightclub called "The Kandy Bar" which, although a little vulgar, was absolutely hilarious. In any case, those viewers interested in a comedy of this sort might find this enjoyable and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
