L.I.S.A. – Der helle Wahnsinn: Directed by John Hughes. With Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Bill Paxton. Two high school nerds use a computer program to literally create the perfect woman, but she turns their lives upside down.

“Weird Science is the best 80u0026#39;s comedy that was ever made. Iu0026#39;m saying it. Ghostbusters, Summer Rental, The Great Outdoors, Strange Brew, Gung Ho, Mr. Mom, all of these movies have their place, but none of them can match Weird Science for laughs or pure….eightiesness. Yes eightiesness is a quality. Itu0026#39;s a corny, dated quality but one that is tangible and valued by my fellow eighties loving brethren to this day. Come back with me if you will to a time when Anthony Michael Hall was still fielding calls and Kelly LeBrock was French for sexy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWeird Science has everything that an eighties comedy needs: A least one hot girl, a few actors who are no longer working or who do anything that will come along, plenty of dashing eighties threads, a corny as hell eighties soundtrack,(and Oingo Boingo is as corny and eighties as they get), and plenty of cheap funny jokes. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUndoubtedly the best thing about Weird Science is Bill Paxton, who plays Wyattu0026#39;s older brother Chet. Chet is the worst big brother ever to grace a movie screen and is a role model for all big brothers everywhere, me included. Chet delights in extorting money and valuables from Wyatt in exchange for his silence about Wyattu0026#39;s activities. The best part in the movie is when Chet gets turned into the toad thing or whatever it is. Man I love that part. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe rest of the cast does a good job of being their stock characters. Kelly LeBrock does a good job of being hot. Robert Downey Jr. shows none of the signs of future drug addiction. The film is unremarkable in the fact that it isnu0026#39;t anything groundbreaking or special. Itu0026#39;s just a funny movie. And an eighties classic. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBottom Line: If you grew up in the eighties and you never saw Weird Science then you must atone for your crimes by going out and buying it right now. Then send me an email telling me how grateful you are that I put you on the path to rightousness and eighties correctness.”
