Trevor,
    If you like Peter O' Toole (as I do), I believe you will
enjoy _Creator_.  In my opinion, his is not the best of the
acting performances, -- I would give that title to the actor who
plays his male assistant -- but his character is believable and I
don't believe it is easy to play a believable "mad" scientist.
He adds depth to a character that could have been simply funny
and trivial.

This film is _Love Story_ modified for the '80s audience, funny
at times, emotionally charged, and upbeat instead of depressing.
I personally enjoyed it.  A +1.5 on the scale of -4 to +4
