A classic 80′s teen movie, “Weird Science” is one of my favorites. Gary (played by Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt are the typical sex obsessed “loser” teenagers who are striving to be popular with girls. Ian (played by Robert Downey Jr.) and Max are the “cool guys” who seem to spend all their time abusing the unfortunate “uncool”. Gary and Wyatt, in a moment of brilliant creativity, use their super-computer to hack into a power station and create a dream babe “Lisa” who has the I.Q of Einstein and the attitude of an 80′s rock star. The experiment far exceeds their initial expectations and they are catapulted into a crazy adventure of rebellion against the forces in life that have held them down. The movie follows the typical formula, but what sets it apart is it’s complete surreal dream-like nature. Lisa’s ability to magically make anything happen, along with the crazy side-effects of the creation, and the amazing theme song written and performed by the group Oingo Boingo, make this possibly one of the greatest coming of age stories ever told. The moral of the movie is, if you throw a huge party in a mansion and some scary mad max characters show up, show them who’s boss and you’ll get the girl.
