No real geniuses were involved in the making of this movie

One of my all time favorite "it's ok to be a smart geek" type movies. I liked it because it was cool to be smart but not in the tired, cliched geeks v. jocks type of way.

It's interesting to note that nearly 30 years after this, the secret technology proposed and funded by the government and developed for use by the military, would, in fact, be used for a far more sinister purpose: laser pointy cat toys.

Val Kilmer is the typical 80's comedy version of "cool." That is to say, he's really obnoxious. Flippant and quippy, with a painfully forced devil-may-care attitude. The film is stuffed to gills with stock characters, or at least characters who you feel like you've seen a thousand times before. There are pretty much zero laughs in the whole movie, but it's slightly entertaining once it starts picking up steam.

Harmless, dopey fun. If 80's teen comedies are your thing, this is a decent one.

Any movie with lasers can't be completely worthless.

Kilmer is obnoxious, but the film is surprisingly watchable nonsense.

kilmer has so many good one liners and is simply so damned cool that it makes up for every folly in this title. it's a good comedy that would have hands down made the a-grade had the last twenty minutes continued on the same shenanigan laden path that it began with.

A ridiculously subjective grade, but fuck it, I like it.
