TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Part of an 80's Teen Comedy - Back to School DVD set I just bought, it didn't look all promising, to be honest. However, I did give it the benefit. And was I ever surprised. This low-budget film has substance, and an actual plot - with actors who can actually act.I found it charming, entertaining, and funny. In fact, many areas are downright hilarious. The dialog, acting, direction, and cinematography are decent. And I loved its overall moral theme: Beauty is over-rated. The film centers on tech-geek Brad Brinkman who grows bored with his overall life, and desires severe change, especially with women. He's visited by a sexy apparition who transforms him into a total stud. And then Brad/Hunk must decide thereon if he's indefinite happy with his 'transformation'.The only downers to this were the club snobs who's performances were weak and way overdone. Otherwise this movie is 2 thumbs up.

Quite how Lawrence Bassoff got a second writing/directorial gig after his appalling sex comedy Weekend Pass I'll never understand, but here it is—Hunk—yet another take on the tale of Faust, in which a nerdy computer programmer by the name of Bradley Brinkman (Steve Levitt) agrees to a devilish trial offer from sexy Satanic minion O'Brien (Deborah Shelton): his soul in exchange for new persona, that of ripped beefcake Hunk Golden (John Allen Nelson), a fancy car, and loads of cash.The whole Faust shtick offers plenty of opportunities for laughs and smutty humour, and yet somehow Bassoff manages to miss them all, instead giving his viewers a succession of laugh-free scenes in which Hunk struggles to come to terms with his situation, mingles with the shallow inhabitants of exclusive beach resort Sea Spray, and falls for his disbelieving shrink Sunny (Rebeccah Bush). Not only is the film desperately unfunny, but for a Crown International film, Hunk is also surprisingly free of female nudity, making it a double disappointment in my book.Rather unsurprisingly, this was to be Bassoff's last film, no-one willing to give the guy a third chance to prove what a lousy film-maker he was.2.5 out of 10, rounded up to 3 for IMDb.

Picked this up for a quarter when our local Video Store was selling off all his VHS tapes. Had seen it around and a fan of James Coco, so thought it would be fun. Well, was I wrong. Well to be honest, James Coco is the best thing in it. This lame comedy about a computer nerd who sells his sole to Dr. D to become a hunk is like one long SNL or SCTV comedy sketch. John Allen Nelson is nice to look at, but then so is his nerdy self Steve Levitt. It's the others around him that are hard to take when they're on screen and don't ask me what Robert Morse is doing here.I think my twenty-five cent price tag was pretty good for what it turned out to be.

The absolute, hands-down worse movie I have ever seen. It is also the only film I've ever wanted to walk out of, but couldn't as someone was paying me to review it. I saw it the day it was released, and have never forgotten how bad it was. I love a bad movie, but this one was so far down, it wasn't even "bad but entertaining."
