    Awesome film, highly under-rated and filled with excellent zingy one-liners.

    More montage per square inch than any movie I'm aware of. Also, Jordan is HOT. Almost as hot as Val Kilmer.

    If you think that by threatening me you can get me to do what you want... Well, that's where you're right. But - and I am only saying that because I care - there's a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing.

    "Real Genius" really is a great film that has great acting and funny moments. The characters Chris Knight and Mitch Taylor know how to get even when it comes to their adversaries like Kent and later on Dr. Hathaway. Chris is a great mentor to Mitch, who Chris helps Mitch not to be too much into his work and teaches Mitch it is ok to have fun. Jon Gries plays Lazlo Hollyfeld who lives in a steam tunnel and Michelle Meyrink as Jordan Cochran, a girl who Mitch meets and fall in love with each other.

    This movie really does show that being smart is not a bad thing at all, and that being smart, you can still have fun. A great film from 1985.
