Review of Hunk

Hunk (1987)
3/10
Long, Dull and Terribly Predictable
15 December 2013
"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.
