Making Mr. Right (1987)

No Nudity

Review

Making Mr. Right (1987) might just be the strangest starring vehicle for John Malkovich ever. He demonstrates his comedic chops playing both a doctor and his robot duplicate named Ulysses. The whole thing is a romantic comedy, too, which is even weirder. Sadly there's no nudity in the flick, though Glenn Headly does nip out her satin top and shows her undies while flopping around on a bed! The story follows a reclusive scientist, Malkovich, who builds a robot that looks exactly like himself and is set to go on a long-term space mission. Since the real-life scientist seems to lack all emotions, he is unable to program his lack of emotion in his automaton, and an eccentric lady is hired to "educate" the android on how to be more human-like. In the end, the lady falls in love. The question that lingers is whether she's in love with the robot or with the real deal?! At the end, Ulysses appears at Frankie's front door during the launch to space. Jeff actually presents the final speech himself, having realized his creation has become more empathic than him. As the lack of human contact of a seven-year space mission isn't an issue for him due to his antisocial nature, he decides to go into space while the android takes his place on Earth so Ulysses and Frankie can remain together and in love. It's truly a bizarre flick that deserves the status of a cult comedy. It's just a shame there's not more skin!
