... View MoreA computer nerd makes a deal with a sexy she-devil to become a muscle-bound beach hunk.Hunk shares quite a similar idea to the one later used (copied?) in Bedazzled (2000), where we have a hopeless nerd given the chance to become cool by a super-sexy she-devil, with the result that he realises that it is more important to be yourself than superficially good-looking. In that later film we had Elizabeth Hurley turn in a mind-bogglingly seductive performance, in Hunk its Deborah Shelton who is somewhat convincing as a rather hot seductress. The leading ladies certainly are very important to the success of these films but they both also feature other decent performances. In this case it is John Allen Nelson who most impresses in a role that has him play a stereotypical hunky guy while remaining nerdish at heart. It's a good comical performance that works well alongside Shelton's glamorous seductress.While I wouldn't describe this as an especially funny film, it is definitely a likable one. It is much less moronic than quite a few of the teen comedies of its day and I think it stands up fairly well. It naturally has oodles of 80's cheese as well but that is pretty much a positive detail as far as I am concerned. All-in-all, a very fun film.
... View More"Bradley Brinkman" (Steve Levitt) is a computer programmer who daydreams about being somebody other than the nerd he essentially is. Suddenly, a demon by the name of "O'Brien" (Deborah Shelton) appears and makes a deal with him to change everything. He then agrees to a temporary arraignment to sell his soul with a stipulation that if he doesn't like the agreement he can revert to his former self. The next morning he awakens as a brand new person named "Hunk Golden" (John Allen Nelson) who all the women simply adore. Anyway, as I recall the first time I saw this movie was back in the early 90's one evening while watching "USA-Up All Night" hosted by Rhonda Shear. That said, about the only thing I recalled was how great Deborah Shelton looked playing the part of "O'Brien". Now, having just seen it again for the first time in over 20 years, I have to concur with my earlier assessment because she definitely adds some nice scenery to this movie. Unfortunately, she was about the only good thing this film had to offer as the rest of it was long, dull and terribly predictable. Not only that but while it is billed as a comedy there really wasn't much humor to it. In summation, if you're totally bored or you happen to be a fan of Deborah Shelton then this film might be worth a look. Otherwise you would probably do best to pass on it. Below average.
... View MoreThis is just another "Not very good movie".The premise is as old as the hills. Unsucsessful lonely person sells their soul to the devil for short term gain. There are a couple of nice twists given to this idea in this movie: The "demon" recruiting the lost soul has a contract of her own to deal with the devil, the Black Magic Miranda Rights gag ("If you cannot afford an exorcist one will be appointed for you...") was almost funny, and the idea that, since history is doomed to repeat itself, the devil was always busy doing evil that had already happened is not bad. It's just all so flatly written and acted that the movie is just, well, dull.And how Labor Day (celebrated on the first Monday in September) can fall on Hitler's birthday (April 20th) is a mystery - but then the Devil said it was Hitler's birthday so maybe he was lying.Not as bad as some people have said - but not worth watching.
... View MoreHorrible movie. They must have been cranking out films like this every week during the mid to late 80's. A nerd makes a deal with the Devil so he could look all macho and studly. LAME. Nothing in this movie resembles the slightest notion of entertainment. I'm glad this movie has died and went to the great videotape graveyard. Gone and happily forgotten. Life is too short to waste on tripe like this. Rubbish. F.
