Some Like It Electronic

About This Movie

So, 'Some Like It Electronic' is a quirky 1986 comedy that really leans into its offbeat premise. You've got Telis, this eccentric inventor of Heraclitus computers, who creates a robot named Paraskeva, essentially a more charming version of himself. It’s not just a goofy setup; the mind-reading aspect adds a layer of surrealism that keeps the viewer engaged. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that fits with the film’s oddball vibe. The practical effects on Paraskeva are charmingly low-budget yet inventive, giving it a distinct feel. The performances, while not award-winning, capture that weird, playful energy that makes you smirk more than laugh out loud. It’s an interesting snapshot of '80s sci-fi comedy that you won't find in every collection.
