Rating: 2/5 --
Even 14-year-old boys may find it heavy sledding.

New York Times
Weird Science is pretty much as perfect a 1980s teen comedy as has ever existed.

Flickering Myth
This is ordinary stuff that's aged about as well as Mitchell-Smith's clunky computer.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Hughes' script is extremely ragged and not especially good -- honestly, it often feels as it was written by a teenage boy, not an adult male -- but there are some bright moments and bright performances scattered throughout.

Film Frenzy
...Hughes has become more sophisticated visually....[The] special effects are plentiful....Hughes' true gift is at capturing the naturalistic rhythms and interaction between the boys with a great ear for dialog...
Variety
The movie is the latest in the "Wouldn't it be neat if . . .?" school of movies.

Washington Post
Rating: A- --
Throw in an infectious Oingo Boingo title tune, LeBrock in the finest fashions the Reagan-era could offer, and intoxicated tales of large-chested, knee-happy ex-girlfriends, and you have yourself one delectable adolescent comedy.

Product Description:
Teenage geeks Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) 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 (Kelly LeBrock), 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 (Bill Paxton), 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 (sans the "Jr.") appears as Ian, a cool kid who takes pleasure in tormenting Gary and Wyatt.
