I was subjected to this film during tenth grade computer studies class, and it was alright, but definitely nothing to spend any money to watch. It tells the rather quirky tale of a man, Miles, who manages supposedly to win the favour of his next-door neighbour, Madeline, through beautiful music that is played by his intelligent, state-of-the-art computer, with its own built-in personality. The problem, of course, is that the intelligent computer then competes with Miles as to who gets the girl. Emotions run high, as you would obviously expect.
It's an interesting look at the computer age from the early, formulative stages of it but these days it really does look quite silly and dated. It's nothing more than your average take on man vs. machine and the tension never really grips you. The direction is mediocre, as are the performances, and the 'special effects' regarding the computer are frankly feeble, even for its time.
I think the only people who could really get anything from this film are computer lovers, or romance lovers, but it's just another flick for everybody else. ** / *****
