oprlvr33 Part of an 80's Teen Comedy - Back to School DVD set I just bought, it didn't look all promising, to be honest. However, I did give it the benefit. And was I ever surprised. This low-budget film has substance, and an actual plot - with actors who can actually act.I found it charming, entertaining, and funny. In fact, many areas are downright hilarious. The dialog, acting, direction, and cinematography are decent. And I loved its overall moral theme: Beauty is over-rated. The film centers on tech-geek Brad Brinkman who grows bored with his overall life, and desires severe change, especially with women. He's visited by a sexy apparition who transforms him into a total stud. And then Brad/Hunk must decide thereon if he's indefinite happy with his 'transformation'.The only downers to this were the club snobs who's performances were weak and way overdone. Otherwise this movie is 2 thumbs up.

bmc1973 I recall seeing the 'Hunk' poster at the theater back in the 80's, and figured it was another run of the mill TnA flick. A few years after the theatrical release, I caught it on USA "Up All Night", and lo and behold - it was just as I thought. To this day, I still cannot believe there was ever a character, albeit fictional, named "Hunk Golden"! Seriously. Hunk. Golden.Anyhow, about a year after my private "Up All Night" screening, I happened on this flick again upon returning home from a night of carryin' on. It was 2 am, and my little brother was sitting in the dark with a case of the split sides, while a barrage of Spanish dialogue spewed out of the tube. That's right - it was "Hunk" - en Espanol! The movie took on a new life in Spanish! To this day, I still chuckle at the thought of a crowd of adoring onlookers shouting, "HOUNK PARA PRESIDENTE!"

Woodyanders Sweet, but lonely computer nerd Bradley Brinkman (the engagingly gawky Steve Levitt) ain't pleased with his lackluster lot in life. So he sells his soul to sexy spirit O'Brien (the astonishingly hot Deborah Shelton) and the gleefully wicked main evil dude Dr. D (a delightfully droll James Coco) so he can become handsome and irresistible beefcake stud muffin on wheels Hunk Golden (winningly played by John Allen Nelson). But will being Hunk enable Bradley to finally find happiness? Writer/director Lawrence Bassoff relates this charming 80's comic fantasy variant on "Faust" in an infectiously frothy, silly and lightweight manner; he maintains a bubbly good-natured tone and pleasant sense of goofy humor throughout. The excellent supporting cast qualifies as a substantial additional plus: Rebeccah Bush as helpful, sympathetic psychologist Sunny, Cynthia Szigeti as chatty, obnoxious Chachka, Avery Schrieber as Bradley's huffy boss Constantine Constapopolis, Melanice Vincz as vapid former cheerleader Laurel Springs, Hilary Shepard as arrogant brunette babe Alexis Cash, and Robert Morse as pompous, drunken TV show host Garrison Gaylord. Bryan England's glossy cinematography and David Kurtz's neatly bouncy'n'catchy score are both up to par. A nice little movie.

redsophie I usually love an '80s movie - the bad fashions, energetic soundtracks, the stupid slang terms such as 'Bohunk'... Unfortunately, this movie falls just short of "so bad it's good" - it's reminiscent of other 80's movies such as 'Meatballs' and 'Can't Buy Me Love' with the 'always picked on nerd' gets a makeover storyline, but it's generally hammy, unbelievable, badly acted, some scenes really do go on too long, and you can spot the plot "twist" a mile off. Essentially, this movie is 80's cheese at it's worst - the funny bits are unintentional and if you want to see a better cheesy 80s movie, I'd suggest viewing the ones I mentioned above.Still, good for a laugh if you can get to see it for free/little money.
