    This teen comedy is right up there with Sixteen Candles and American Pie. Scott Baio's teen idol days were getting bigger after this movie came out. This story is about Barney Spingboro(Scott Baio) a science nerd, who unwittingly gains telekinetic powers after a laboratory accide...( read more)nt. with the help of his best friend Peyton Nichols(Willie Aames). Barney decides to use his new gift to cause chaos in the lives of some popular jerks, and other cool activities.

    Skip the sequel- not worth your time.

    OLD SCHOOL - loved this when I was a kid. I think mainly because they flashed boobs several times - HEATHER THOMAS flashes a couple of times

    A high school science wiz gets telekinetic powers through an experiment mishap.

He uses it a bit to strip some girls (what do you expect), get ev...( read more)en with bullies, and to win at a baseball game. Really lousy for the most part. So much better stuff could have been done with this; I mean the premise is something that 8-12 year olds would be interested in, but they have to dirty it up (with marijuana, sex at school, lots of cursing) for no apparent reason. It added nothing and actually detracted from what could have been a much more enjoyable film.
