AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Red-Barracuda A computer nerd makes a deal with a sexy she-devil to become a muscle-bound beach hunk.Hunk shares quite a similar idea to the one later used (copied?) in Bedazzled (2000), where we have a hopeless nerd given the chance to become cool by a super-sexy she-devil, with the result that he realises that it is more important to be yourself than superficially good-looking. In that later film we had Elizabeth Hurley turn in a mind-bogglingly seductive performance, in Hunk its Deborah Shelton who is somewhat convincing as a rather hot seductress. The leading ladies certainly are very important to the success of these films but they both also feature other decent performances. In this case it is John Allen Nelson who most impresses in a role that has him play a stereotypical hunky guy while remaining nerdish at heart. It's a good comical performance that works well alongside Shelton's glamorous seductress.While I wouldn't describe this as an especially funny film, it is definitely a likable one. It is much less moronic than quite a few of the teen comedies of its day and I think it stands up fairly well. It naturally has oodles of 80's cheese as well but that is pretty much a positive detail as far as I am concerned. All-in-all, a very fun film.
james_cocos-snowboots Hunk is a retelling of the proverbial Ugly Duckling tale, only with humans, rather than ducks, epitomizing 80's trends. The makers of Hunk certainly had their work cut out for them whilst making this groundbreaking film, since the affliction of insecurity usually only strikes females with glasses on film.The story: Bradley invents a successful computer program about yuppies, goes to live in a dilapidated beach house in the California yuppie colony Sea Spray, and discovers that he is quite different from the others because he is a nerd. He has already sold his soul to the devil in order to make the successful computer program, and so, once he wishes to be a hunk, his wish is satisfied by the devil's handmaiden, O'Brien, on whom Bradley develops a crush. Bradley, now Hunk Golden, is unleashed on the unassuming folks of Sea Spray to cause an uproar with his utter hunkiness, which he plays up by wearing a sleeveless, unbuttoned button-up shirt accented by a tie. Nice.Despite finding love with his psychologist, Sunny, Hunk Golden soon discovers that being a Hunk isn't all he dreamed it would be and so he embarks on a metaphysical battle with the devil, a.k.a. Dr. D. (played by the one and only, James Coco) for his soul. Will Hunk Golden remain a hunk in exchange for his mortal soul, or will he give up his status as a Hunk and live as Bradley Brinkman? What a relief to finally see a funny, smart, yet insecure male nerd wish to be a brawny, tanned hunk, and to be ironically reminded that the inner beauty of the male can also be obscured by a repulsively unattractive exterior. And Bradley Brinkman didn't even have to wear glasses to represent a nerd, because they just had a different actor portray Hunk Golden.If you are an insecure nerd, this movie will undoubtedly boost your self-esteem. If not, you'll get lots of laffs from the endless cheese. Highlights: O'Brien dancing at the nightclub, and Hunk's trendsetting style. And, if WWIII ever breaks out, I guess those of us who have watched Hunk will know who's REALLY responsible.
capricorn9 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.
TheBlackVoodoo My friends and I however, who stumbled across this film nearly 20years on, believe this to be a genius attempt at spoof "magic comedy". It is more eighties than the eighties itself, and has a wonderful soundtrack which is a symphony of the decade's charm! Everyone knows the styles and mindset, and almost everything else about the eighties are funny, and with these amazing characters what can go wrong! It has a really great feel and dialogue. I loved the humour, a few things verging on weird but only one or two. It was so great to laugh at the stupid way of life a hunk leads! Like bedazzled but really focused on taking the Mick out of people. Ben stiller, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn would be great in a modern version of this film. pretty cheesy but i love it! They're just trying to have a laugh! A few nice ladies as well :D We liked it so much we went out and bought it the next day! Wicked stuff.
