There is an 80's flick which I remember, but cannot recall what the name is! It is about this guy who is a "geek," if you will, who is unhappy with himself and the fact that he can't get with a girl, so a genie/wizard(??) shows up and grants him his wish to become very attractive, at some extreme price (think it was a soul swapping deal, but could be wrong). He also meets this very pretty girl and they get together, but he eventually decides that the price he has to pay isn't worth it and reverses the deal. The girl he was with does the same (though he did not know that she had done the same thing he did), and in the end they end up together as their real identities, happily.
Does this sound vaguely familiar to anyone? Can't remember what the flick is called, but if someone else does, please tell me! Thanks!

Probably from her description, not Miracle Beach, Miracle Beach, the guy falls in love with the Genie.


It sounds more like "Hunk" where a deal is made with the devil to get a "fit" body, lol..more like a Muscle Beach body.

I think its Hunk
