High School dorks Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) and Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) decide to create their dream girl using only their home computer and a Barbie doll. What they get is Lisa (Kelly LeBrock)...and their lives will never be the same again.

According to legend this film was written in two days and I think it shows - in all of the best ways. John Hughes had no time to second guess himself. Everything rattling around in his brain was spilled out onto the page and in turn onto the screen giving the film this insanely manic energy that is just so intoxicating. Sure The Breakfast Club is more poignant and Pretty In Pink is more romantic, but nothing can beat Weird Science for sheer insanity and fun. No, not even Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Oh yeah I said it! What you gonna do about it?
