I truly can't believe that no one has reviewed this yet. This is one of the worst movies ever, now that I've watched it as an adult. Of course, I *loved* it when it first came out, but I think I was all of 13 then, so I can be excused.

To summarize, it's about two geeks, Gary and Wyatt, who get picked on by the "cool" guys, and lust after two particular girls who are, naturally, dating the cool guys who pick on them. Wyatt has an extra problem: an older brother, Chet, who extorts money from him on a regular basis.

I don't think they make it clear why this happens, but the guys decide to create a woman. During a very funny "creation" scene, they do so, and "Lisa" (Kelly Le Broc, who still, in my opinion, has the best lips in the business) appears. She proceeds to turn their lives upside down and helps them get the girls they really want.

The acting isn't so bad -- even now, I find that, while it's not "The Breakfast Club," it's better than average in the bad movie biz. But the plot is SO full of cliches it's hard to not laugh at them.

Was I the only one who realized that while Lisa was supposedly in her early thirties, the guys were not even sixteen yet?

Response From RinkWorks:

You missed the funniest part about that movie -- how they created Lisa in the first place. They scan photographs into their computer as input. If memory serves, one of the photographs was of Albert Einstein, to make her smart.
