First off I am a fan of John Hughes, he has been responsible or some of the most essential and well known movies of the 80's,
Is Weird Science well known in pop culture? Sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is good.
Although it was fresh upon its release, it hasn't aged well at all. Relying heavily on sex appeal and cheap laughs, it lacks any depth or real character development.
Acting as a time capsule in a sense, displayed with not only through imagery (cheesy visual effects), but the dialogue (political correctness) as well.
It holds its place in movie history strictly due to the subject matter at hand and not so much the follow through from Hughes.
So if you're looking for to take a wacky trip back to the 80's, this should probably be placed somewhere in the body of your watchlist.
