  Classic 80's movie!!

• Alexander D

  
  REAL GENIUS is a ridiculous, barely funny "teen flick" wannabe that makes John Hughes toss in his grave. If you want a real funny, real genius teen comedy that has the true comical power of Hughes (R.I.P), watch WEIRD SCIENCE. It's better delight.

  This is one of those movies that I wake up one morning and just want to watch, an old faithful if you will. Val Kilmer gives one of his best performances, whether he wants to admit it or not, as Chris Knight, a once was child prodigy who has all the social graces of a man who really does know too much. Hilarious and heartfelt, if this film is not on your shelf at home I suggest it gets there soon!

  A funny movies about nerds, I like it better than Revenge of the Nerds, except that it has Kilmer, who's not that good an actor, but overall, it's a funny movie and I enjoyed it.

  Pretty crazy. Hard to keep focused on it, but it was pretty good still.

• Tim S

  
  Cliche'd to the core, but I enjoyed this little flick.

  Quite funny and I just wanted to see this movie because it reminded me alot from my childhood. Young Val Kilmer and the young japanese guy from Karate Kid 2 jeje. Mitch is one of the youngest students ever accepted to a university known for its programs for geniuses. He's partnered up with his roommate, science club legend Chris Knight, on a project to develop a high-powered laser. Together with their hyper-kinetic friends, they employ their intellects in the pursuit of bigger blasts, practical jokes, and a deeper understanding of what real genius is. When their final, functional laser is stolen by their teacher for a military weapon, they decide to get even.

  When he makes his house explode with popcorn, you remember why it's so good.

  A fun geek science film with girls and gadgets. I like the huge popcorn machine they invented. Val Kilmer is lots of fun as the older student teaching his new 15-year old dorm pal that there's more to life than science. They are unknowingly being used to develop a weapon for the military. There's lots of fun and 80's music.

  Fairly Genius

• Jason S

  
  back before Val Kilmer considered himself too good.

• Michael G

  
  Just not as good as I remember it 20 years ago.

• Chad R

  
  Val Kilmer looks gay in this one. Watched it many times when I was young. Good stuff! Just watched this again yesterday. Still fair for a quick watch but the corn/cheese factor is off the charts.

  A young man is drafted by a major academic college right out of high school because he is a genius in the field of lazer technology. He is put on a team with Val Kilmer to design a lazer that is more powerful than any other lazer. Kilmer is a loose cannon and likes to joke around and play pranks rather than work. When they find out that the lazer is being built for purposes other than what they thought it was for they band together to stop its use. A fun movie with a solid cast and character development from the 80's in true 80's format.
