So as I said, I have seen it before, and it was once a required watch in a Ethics in Science course I took ... because obviously the plot line follows what really happens in the scientific community ... and I guess that may be why, while I found lots of laugh out loud moments in it, and Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis were both amazing in it, I really don't like the movie. I has too many holes for my to think of as plausible... Jamie mentioned a couple that "bug" me... but from a perspective of how the computer programming went, and the science behind the device, it's invention... the believablity of it all just is to weak for me to not scoff the whole way through. I guess that is why it just isn't my type of film. But I did laugh and I did love the acting.. so a 6/10 from me.
(Also, I generally end up hating any movie or book a professor makes me over analyze )

Spoiler:
It's interesting that you mentioned the computer programming... that's what I do for a living and it's something that I completely ignored in the film I felt like I had to though to suspend belief. I'll admit, when he had the breakthrough about the flesh and then explained it, I facepalmed a little bit, because although they tried to make it sound technical, it was basically "All I need to do is teach the computer to get excited" and it's like, oh right ok then, just the simple task of teaching it human emotion then But I can forgive that because like you say, it just wasn't your type of film, whereas it was my type of film. It's interesting we can watch the same thing but allow/ignore/challenge different aspects of it. One of the reasons I'm loving this movie club to be honest.
