If you loved Sixteen Candles, try Weird Science
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Hughes, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sixteen Candles, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Weird Science is
Suburban Chicago, summer, a computer beeps. Two outcasts conjure a perfect woman from code and magazine cutouts. Hughes probes the abyss of adolescent insecurity.
