Steve Martin's "20 something betters" bar scene is priceless.

Can't get much nerdier than creating a woman and bringing her to life.

What could be better than a smart, caring nerd in black leather?

Not as great a transformation as "Love Potion #9", but still fun.
- The Mummy
Rachel Weisz goes from tight-collared librarian to Egyptian beauty.

This one will have you rooting for Josie all the way!
