"Bradley Brinkman" (Steve Levitt) is a computer programmer who daydreams about being somebody other than the nerd he essentially is. Suddenly, a demon by the name of "O'Brien" (Deborah Shelton) appears and makes a deal with him to change everything. He then agrees to a temporary arraignment to sell his soul with a stipulation that if he doesn't like the agreement he can revert to his former self. The next morning he awakens as a brand new person named "Hunk Golden" (John Allen Nelson) who all the women simply adore. Anyway, as I recall the first time I saw this movie was back in the early 90's one evening while watching "USA-Up All Night" hosted by Rhonda Shear. That said, about the only thing I recalled was how great Deborah Shelton looked playing the part of "O'Brien". Now, having just seen it again for the first time in over 20 years, I have to concur with my earlier assessment because she definitely adds some nice scenery to this movie. Unfortunately, she was about the only good thing this film had to offer as the rest of it was long, dull and terribly predictable. Not only that but while it is billed as a comedy there really wasn't much humor to it. In summation, if you're totally bored or you happen to be a fan of Deborah Shelton then this film might be worth a look. Otherwise you would probably do best to pass on it. Below average.

Picked this up for a quarter when our local Video Store was selling off all his VHS tapes. Had seen it around and a fan of James Coco, so thought it would be fun. Well, was I wrong. Well to be honest, James Coco is the best thing in it. This lame comedy about a computer nerd who sells his sole to Dr. D to become a hunk is like one long SNL or SCTV comedy sketch. John Allen Nelson is nice to look at, but then so is his nerdy self Steve Levitt. It's the others around him that are hard to take when they're on screen and don't ask me what Robert Morse is doing here.I think my twenty-five cent price tag was pretty good for what it turned out to be.

Bradley works for a computer company as a programmer. His girlfriend ran off with someone else and he has been so despondent, his job is going down the drain. Magically, one night he writes a terrific new program that makes the company big money. Bradley is given many perks, including a summer off and digs at the beach. Nevertheless, Bradley is snubbed by the glamorous folks near his apartment until he makes a "deal" with a beautiful woman who claims to represent the devil, himself. Bradley will get a new body until Labor Day, a body of a hunk. And, wow, on Labor Day he can choose to make his deal with the underworld permanent or he can walk away with his old body. Bradley signs a contract and gets his new bod. Beautiful women suddenly swarm around him and endorsements come his way by the truckload. But, very worried, he goes to see a counselor to help him make sense of the situation. Can she point him in the right direction? This is a stupid movie with little to recommend it. The cast is average, the script is lousy, the costumes are poor, and the production values are very low. What more can one say or need to say? Avoid this film, it is junk. Spend your time looking for a much better romantic comedy, such as Return to Me or Kate and Leopold.

The absolute, hands-down worse movie I have ever seen. It is also the only film I've ever wanted to walk out of, but couldn't as someone was paying me to review it. I saw it the day it was released, and have never forgotten how bad it was. I love a bad movie, but this one was so far down, it wasn't even "bad but entertaining."
