silly but charming
23 February 2015
Miles Harding (Lenny von Dohlen) is a San Francisco architect working on an earthquake-proof brick. He buys a computer and connects it to his home. He downloads everything and spills champagne onto the computer. Madeline Robistat (Virginia Madsen) moves in upstairs. The computer becomes fascinated with her cello playing and joins in. Madeline thinks it's Miles playing. They start dating with the computer creating music for Madeline and Miles taking the credit. That is until the computer revolt.

This was movie computing. It's absolutely silly but it's probably one of the most romantic computer movies. It's 80's-tastic. It takes bits from Cyrano de Bergerac and gives it an alternate ending. It's got the synthpoppy Video and quite a few fun songs. It's got the lovely Virginia Madsen and nerd-hunky Lenny von Dohlen. It's completely silly but charming nonetheless.
