What makes it different from others?

Fresh and Exciting

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I was a young teenager in the eighties and I remember all of my schoolmates raving about this movie. Maybe I would have liked it if I watched it then. I really enjoy some of John Hughes other films. I finally watched this for the first time.The acting is wooden, the jokes are lame, and the premise is incredibly stupid. The movie is also very dated as my two teenage children could not make it through 20 minutes of this movie.The special effects are decent for the time, but movies do not hold up solely on the strength of their special effects. If you know the time period, you will understand how movies like this got made back then. You also understand and are thankful that they do not make them like this anymore.

This is another of those daft comedies that John Hughes was able to churn out with alarming ease.Borrowing heavily from the 'Frankenstein' story, this is about two teen boys creating the perfect woman via a computer, and of course she then comes to life and teaches them a lot about life etc.Apart from a good central performance from Anthony Michael Hall this film in my opinion is not worth recommending.

Silly John Hughes comedy is much closer to his goofy and crass early works like "National Lampoon's Class Reunion" than his more thoughtful teen dramas like "The Breakfast Club" or "Pretty in Pink." Hughes mines teen fantasy wish fulfillment when nerdy Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith make a woman, Kelly LeBrock, who helps them become cool and meet cute girls. Since the film is a fantasy, it does allow it to have over-the-top characters, like Bill Paxton's Chet, or have Road Warriors crash a party on their motorcycles (who include Michael Berryman and actual Road Warrior alumni, Vernon Wells), though I never really cared for most of Hughes pictures that were broad comedies along these line (i.e. "The Great Outdoors" or "Beethoven"). I prefer his more sincere of comedies, including everything from classics like those mentioned above to even lesser ones like "Career Opportunities" or "Dutch." Still, there's an 80s nostalgia factor here for me, which earned this film an extra star.

I think that title sums it up quite well.Not excellent because, well the premise is ridiculous and it's one of these films where everything goes 100 miles an hour and there's a ton of random, often too random, being thrown in from everywhere, in the image of the very premise itself, totally chaotic and rushed.But it's good, in that it has some actually funny moments, a pleasant tone overall between silly and fun, it has sentiment, and as obvious as they are there are morals and they're at least well incorporated into the conclusion.Finally, LeBrock besides being just as beautiful as promoted, makes for a true on screen presence and acted her symbolic role very well. Along with her, there's a sense of metaphor, wildness and truth that transpire from the movie experience. And it should be said the kid who plays the blond-haired Gary was one heck of a find ! One of these 80's cult classics, with its own theme song and all...that manages to cling onto its viewer.
