Probably the craziest movie made by John Hughes in the 1980’s
Meek and socially inept computer geeks Gary Wallace (an excellent and engaging portrayal by Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt Donnelly (a likable performance by Ilan-Michael Smith) get more than they bargained for when they create the perfect woman in the form of Lisa (delightfully played with winning saucy charm and aplomb by the drop-dead gorgeous Kelly LeBrock), who turns their heretofore staid existences upside down.

Writer/director John Hughes really lets it all hang out: The enjoyably off-the-wall story zips along at a breathless frantic pace, the zany humor occasionally reaches surreal heights of inspired lunacy, and the major big bash set piece is positively hysterical. Although Hughes eschews his trademark adolescent angst in favor of infectiously go-for-broke wackiness, he nonetheless brings a sweet surplus of pure heart to the proceedings by having Lisa give Gary and Wyatt valuable life lessons in self-worth and self-confidence. Moreover, it’s acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Bill Paxton almost steals the entire picture with his gloriously obnoxious turn as Wyatt’s overbearing older brother Chet, Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Rusler smarm it up well as a couple of jerky bullies, and Suzanne Snyder and Jodi Aronson make for fetching and appealing love interests. Vernon Wells and Michael Berryman have funny minor roles as a pair of punk thug party crashers. An absolute hoot.Read More
