Hunk (1987)

The story begins with a rich, attractive man going to a psychiatrist with a crazy story about how he used to be a simpler man named Bradley Brinkman, but was transformed into Hunk Golden. Dr. Sunny is skeptical about this preposterous idea, but she agrees to hear Hunk's story....
We see that Bradley's life entailed being a geeky computer programmer without any friends. After some success at work, Bradley's boss sends him to a beach house for the summer. All the rich, beautiful people he meets on the beach shun him, which totally bums him out.

Bradley / Hunk
A mysterious woman, named O'Brien, offers Bradley a deal that will grant all his desires of fame and fortune, and all she asks in return is his soul. That's right, O'Brien works for the devil! She promises a refund if Bradley is not satisfied at the end of the summer, so he signs the contract. When he awakens in the morning, Bradley has transformed into the perfect Hunk and now all the ladies want him and all the guys admire him.

O'Brien... just O'Brien
At the psychiatrist's office, Hunk decides to embrace his new life with zest and not worry about Bradley anymore. He and Dr. Sunny also begin to get romantic as they spend time together. O'Brien occasionally checks in on Hunk, and even Satan himself stops by for a few visits and he's always dressed up like Attila the Hun or Hitler. It's a very goofy portrayal of the devil... Everything in the movie is goofy, so it works!

After about an hour of nothing except Hunk being awesome and getting famous, he starts realizing he needs Bradley back to feel normal. Things get progressively weirder, and the story really flies off the goddamn rails into absurdity. There's a pretty big plot twist, too, and more than just Bradley's soul is in danger of being lost. Will love triumph over evil? And will he choose Hunk or Bradley as the man he wants to be? Oh god, it's bonkers!

Umm, Satan ?

- I liked the pizza & beer montage.
- "Some kind of digital vulture appeared on my screen."
- Hunk checking out his new junk.
- Yes, that's Robert Morse as Garrison Gaylord

Internet review:
"It is a silly, silly film and there's always time in my life for silly films." - AudreyToo

Should I watch it?
It's comedy trash, but the type worth seeing. And it actually has a positive message (somewhere in there.)

Where can I find it?
Here on putlocker. Sometimes I get a virus warning when I load the page, but I'm pretty sure it's a false positive. I had no problems at all. It's just pop ups trolling.

Hunk gets...
