Critics Consensus: Hardly in the same league as John Hughes' other teen movies, the resolutely goofy Weird Science nonetheless gets some laughs via its ridiculous premise and enjoyable performances.

Alan Jones

Weird Science describes itself as *a special effects comedy*... it comes across more as a feeble blend of tediously vulgar, stale half-baked ideas.

...Hughes drills down on a simple, relatable theme; make the best of what you have while you have it....

Outlandishly silly and a whole lot of fun.

Weird Science is certainly an 80's curiosity for anyone who is a fan of John Hughes, but it is definitely more of a questionable relic of that era than his other works.

A more than valid sample of the incredible eclecticism that characterized those wonderful eighties. [Full Review in Spanish]
