Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 34 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Tyler S Another really solid 80s flick. Definitely one of my favorite decades film wise, and this one was a little fun. Pretty silly story but this is definitely a common theme for this time period. Love me some silly concepts when done right. Really enjoyed the dynamic between Gary and Wyatt as well. Overall, pretty fun! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Jace E Movie #2 of my John Hughes Directorial Marathon Even a young RDJ couldn't save this movie. As I embarked on this John Hughes marathon, I was excited about a lot of the movies on the list. There were a few, however, that I had never heard of. Weird Science was one of those movies and I understand why I had never heard of it. The entire premise of the film is problematic and the protagonists don't really learn anything. I'm glad that I watched the movie to complete the marathon, but I don't see myself ever re-visiting this one. Best Character: Chet Best Quote: "So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?" - Lisa Note: I saw something that said that John Hughes wrote this film in two days. I believe that. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review L S An almost perfect, largely guiltless, 80s silly adventure movie. Endlessly quotable, and a joy from beginning to end. One may need to be under the influence to really appreciate now, but a solid and pure, Hughes endeavour. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Joel H You know, I probably should have left this movie in the past. For little maniacs (a.k.a. teenage boys), Weird Science may be amusing, but this creation’s shortcomings are much more apparent when you’re an adult. I don’t feel like John Hughes really put much effort into the script or the directing. It’s simplistic and choppy, spending way too long on some scenes and rushing through others. It also has a mainly juvenile sense of humor, which is unlike Hughes’ other works of the time. Oingo Boingo’s song, “Weird Science,” may have stood the test of time, but the movie Weird Science definitely has not. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review chris h I adore this movie from my childhood...still holds up and a fun time.Chet is funny.Robert downey jr before he became to big for his own britches.
