Deux lycéens impopulaires créent sur leur ordinateur la femme idéale censée leur donner, enfin, l’attention souhaitée. Mais la création échappe rapidement à leur contrôle.

John Hughes, toujours attentif aux affres de l’adolescence, propose sa relecture de La Fiancée de Frankenstein, quelques mois après son cultissime Breakfast Club. Avec le recul, le film sera invariablement perçu comme le pendant humoristique de la perte de contrôle dans notre rapport aux machines.

Two unpopular high school students create on their computer the ideal woman who will finally give them the attention they want, but their creation rapidly spirals out of control.

John Hughes, always aware of the trials and tribulations of young people, directs a take on The Bride of Frankenstein, just a few months after his cult classic The Breakfast Club. In hindsight, the film will always be seen as a humorous counterpart to our loss of control in our relationship with machines.
