    Synopsis & Details

    Teenage geeks Gary and Wyatt are sick of being ignored by girls, abused by cool guys, and forced to spend their weekend nights watching nerdy old sci-fi movies. Left alone for the weekend, they use Wyatt's computer to create Lisa, a stunningly beautiful woman with a body that stops traffic, a heart of gold, and a genius IQ. The boys embark on an adventure with their creation, going to bars, driving Ferraris, throwing a killer party, and keeping Wyatt's psychotic older brother, Chet, in check. But in the end, they learn that wearing cool clothes, hanging out with cool kids, and being popular might not solve all their problems. Written and directed by the king of teen flicks, John Hughes, this film was released after 'Sixteen Candles' and in the same year as 'The Breakfast Club'. Like many of his films, Hughes's 'Weird Science' is set in fictional Shermer, Illinois. A young Robert Downey (without the 'Jr.') appears as Ian, a cool kid who takes pleasure in tormenting Gary and Wyatt.
