Redundant and unnecessary.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Mild mannered Bradley Brinkman (Steve Levitt) makes a deal with the devil and has a best selling "How To" book on being a yuppie and a new hunk body (John Allen Nelson). He never thought the deal was serious and now he is trying to welsh on a deal all the while living the good life he was locked out of before.Great idea and has been done in various ways. This film has poor execution and was even made after being a Yuppie was cool.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. John Allen Nelson without his shirt in a shower.

A 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.

"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.

I recall seeing the 'Hunk' poster at the theater back in the 80's, and figured it was another run of the mill TnA flick. A few years after the theatrical release, I caught it on USA "Up All Night", and lo and behold - it was just as I thought. To this day, I still cannot believe there was ever a character, albeit fictional, named "Hunk Golden"! Seriously. Hunk. Golden.Anyhow, about a year after my private "Up All Night" screening, I happened on this flick again upon returning home from a night of carryin' on. It was 2 am, and my little brother was sitting in the dark with a case of the split sides, while a barrage of Spanish dialogue spewed out of the tube. That's right - it was "Hunk" - en Espanol! The movie took on a new life in Spanish! To this day, I still chuckle at the thought of a crowd of adoring onlookers shouting, "HOUNK PARA PRESIDENTE!"
