Summary: Stay Away...Stay Far Away
Review: This DVD tries to suck the buyer in by telling him/her that this DVD contains music from the original score...which it might have, but along with that there comes the added bonus of missing lines that made the movie a classic...for instance the "If there's one thing I know its female stats..." line is completely gone. There are others but I don't have enough room to put them here. Not since the latest Animal House with the missing "Have you seen my rolling papers?" line has a DVD release been so disappointing. While these things may not matter to the majority of you viewers, it will to some of you so you have been warned.

Summary: Hilariously funny!!!!
Review: This is a hilarious movie it is about Anthony Michael Hall one of my favorite 1980's actors he and his friends wear bras on their heads and get on the pc and create a woman and this woman is Kelly LeBrock she is created and she has special powers and she does whatever and whenever she wants to people she is so funny Gary and Wyatt are her masters she gives them whatever they want and she teaches them courage and she really fixes Wyatt's brother Chet very good she turns him into an ugly lizard and then he learns how to treat Wyatt more better and the movie is just so hilarious I would truly recommend anyone to buy this movie I really did enjoy it . If you grew up in the 1980's and if you are an Anthony Michael Hall fan I would truly recommend that you buy this dvd!!!!!

Summary: Fav Film with Bad Letterbox
Review: I have been waiting for this movie to be released on dvd for a while and I am totally thrilled with it...well...maybe not totally. The letterbox is botched. I experienced this same problem with the second "Back to the Future" film and the studio offered a mail in replacement with the correct aspect ratio. To be more specific, the bottom portion of the film is cut off. I noticed this in the kitchen/omelette scene first. I then compared it to my vhs copy and sure enough, the bottom of the film is missing. I returned my copy and got another one and it also has the same problem. Anyway, I contacted Universal and am waiting to hear back if they have a solution for this. You might want to wait if you are as big a fan of this movie as I am. OTHER than that...it is an excellent transfer and still fun to watch (just wish i could see the whole thing).

Summary: LOVED IT THEN! LOVE IT NOW!
Review: I was a big fan of this movie back when it first came out! It was my favorite! Now, I'm a mom, with a son who bears a striking resemblence to the behavior of Chet! It's about time HE sees this movie!It's full of good humor and fun for the young and young at heart. A classic in my book for sure. I still ask people, "Did you spit in this?" :o)

Summary: What Can I Say? She Likes Malakas, Dino!
Review: At last, at last!!! Why did it take so long to reissue this gem?!! Just bursting with great lines all the way through, this is a first rate comedy from John Hughes...and Kelly Le Brock in the role she was born to play. I haven't bought it yet (probably will today!), and I don't give a fig about the lack of extras; I just want to relive those great moments in this completely unrealistic geek fantasy film: "The next thing you know you'll be wearing a bra on your head." "How 'bout a nice, greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?" "MA! I NEVER toss off!!!" "Don't threaten ME, Al! YOU'RE out of shape, I'll kick your ARSE!" "You can't go around hitting people with your Rex Harrison hat!" "So whaddya say I...butter your muffin?" Buy this. Right now.

Summary: Universal is ........... you - again!
Review: Bad news for John Hughes fans, those waiting for feature-laden new special editions of his holy trinity - Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Weird Science - will undoubtedly be disappointed by the upcoming reissues. Although all feature newly remastered 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfers and Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround tracks, there are no extras included at all aside from trailers, and Sixteen Candles doesn't even get that. While retail is a low $$$$$$ apiece, after all the wait and endless postponements, such bare-bones reissues are just another thumb-in-the-eye to the consumer. There are different versions of both films from TV and video, there have to be deleted scenes and outtakes, not to mention the fact that commentary from Hughes, or any of the films stars should be easy to get. This is the cd scam all over again - don't wait for a third, or fourth version of the films to come out - make them do it right the first time!!!

Summary: The reason people like 80's comedies
Review: One look at the cover art of this movie and one can see that the movie is totally silly; read the synopsis on the back (yes, they do create a women on a computer) and your first instinct may be to put that movie right back on the shelf. But as ridiculus as it may seem - and, indeed, is - "Weird Science" is one of the most genuinely enjoyable films to come out of the 80's. And really, why do people love 80's comedies so much in the first place? It has nothing to do with poignancy, beleive me. This film is funny as hell, colorful, shallow, and entirely whatchable. Brat-pack fans will enjoy Micheal-Halls very politically-incorrect pimp impression (fabulous), and Mitchell-Smith's adorable awe at the events changing his life. Kelly LeBrock is gorgeous even with hair teased within an inch of it's life, but as a women, I can tolerate her because of the take-charge, fearless attitude she adds to her seemingly "sex-toy" character. If you want to have fun, rent this film (don't buy this grotesquely over-priced DVD)and forget about depth. If you can't, forget about the 80's.

Summary: Another John Hughes Must Have!
Review: Finally, the big boys in hollywood have been decent enough to grace us with a re-release of one of the great teen flick's of the 80's. Starring a young and accomplised Anthony michael Hall (The Breakfast Club) and a host of other 80's stars, the story follows two 15 year old teens who decide to make a virtual woman on their computer. However, things become more then just virtual as the woman they created becomes more then just a dream, and infact, real! If your a fan of director John Hughes, then this is a DVD you simply have to own. It'll go nicely with other classics like "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", "Pretty In Pink" and many more. Oh, one more thing...I'm glad its being re-relesed for 2 reasons. 1) my VHS copy is almost worn out. 2) I wont have to pay for a over priced second hand copy.

Summary: great movie
Review: This is a great movie and glad to se the re-release. Big blow to those trying to milk people for a copy of the dvd. Two geeks manage to make a girl from a barbie doll and a computer. A fine example of a coming of age comedy of the 80's.
