weird yet entertaining

I Was a Teenage Faust can be described as surreal... and weird. But I had a good time watching it, teenagers tempted by the devil (played by Robert Townsend) to gain popularity, fame, good looks and the other superficial things. for the family-oriented families, moral lessons included!

All in all, it was a nice film. I have no negative comments whatsoever, because as long as I enjoyed the film, it IS a good one.

Good movie.

This was a decent movie at the very least. The producers of the

movie made a great choice in not making this a serious movie.

They were able to put a lot of comedic effect into this film. It was

full of great lines and was a lot of fun to watch.

laugh 'til you cry

this was one of the funniest movie ever......if you have not see this movie, then you missing a lot. having the "renaissance man"Robert townsend is such a great thing and cowboy lady Mrs. fairchild too ain't bad neither. Josh zuckerman was the perfect fit for brendan willy"s role.this movie was grotesque. first i thought the movie was just going to be about a teenage boy who couldn't talk to girls or make friends like weird science.but the movie turn out to be "off the hook" instead. the director of the movie put a great effort to the film and also have the right people..actors and actresses... for the perfect role.................Robert townsend, Morgan fairchild, and Josh zuckerman are good actors.........way to go guys!!!!

Brilliant!

When i saw it,i like it because first of all,its basically a story about a guy that is a jerk.I love it,overall,Definitely go and see this movie,it will inspire you and captivate your eyes to the screen,lets say its just like License to drive(1988)the guy-Josh Zuckerman plays Brendan H Willy so well as well as Brendan being cool.If you haven't seen this movie,go and see it right away.I admit most girls would be jealous of Twyla day in the movie,i mean all the girls who starred as her friends were.Good Quotes my favorite-Are your eyes bothering you?because they are killing me.Go and see it,you will be surprised,how fascinating everything evolves around Brendan,and then everything changes.Spectacular.

One rightful, single watch - to be mixed with other activities

I caught this movie one sunny sunday afternoon ( why do people always watch tv on dreary ones, i wonder ) with the intent of giving it some glances while doing something else. The plot, as amusing as it may be, seemed too weak to sit through doing nothing. I was right. The modern presentation of the underworld is just silly, the characters as flat as roadkill & the ending particularly weak because it had but to string the twists together. Some points make this watchable : Robert Towsend(though he's most hindered by his lines), the metamorpfosis tricks played on the Kid, and the joke during the end credits - predictable within 4 seconds of course, but still a nice effort.
