Woo Hoo! We’re girl-starved teen nerds, and we’re cooking up our own living sex toy with our home computers!   John Hughes turns an infantile idea into one of his not-bad teen angst comedies, as Kelly LeBrock materializes to fulfill their wildest dreams. The idea is of course transformed into a basically benign coming-of age story … with the underlying message that we’d not all mind having Ms. LeBrock reformat our hard drive. It all begins as a bad arrested-development joke, but Hughes’ audaciousness and fine production values make this a nostalgic favorite for folk that miss their (ugh) 1980s memories. Anthony Michael Hall and Bill Paxton are standouts. On Blu-ray from Arrow Video.
