Description

When a group of crazy college geniuses put their heads together, almost anything can happen. Hold on for a freewheeling, uproarious look at just how much mischief a bunch of high-IQers can concoct. Chris (Val Kilmer) is the top brain who just wants to party, Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is the 16-year-old whiz kid, and Lazlo (Jonathan Gries), America's number one brain, literally lives in a world of his own ... Chris' closet. Supposedly hard at work on a lab project, they still find time to turn the dorm into an ice-skating rink, dismantle a nerd's car and reassemble it in his room, and throw a beach party in the auditorium complete with a lagoon and bikini-clad beauties. When the geniuses discover that their unscrupulous mentor Professor Hathaway (William Atherton) has had them working on a secret weapon for the military, they plot an elaborate revenge. Their plan culminates in an incredible scheme that outsmarts the military and convinces the professor that it doesn't pay to fool with a Real Genius!!

    Great flick I enjoy a lot, but this version is cropped down to 16:9. This results in some awkwardly framed shots, and the credits being partially chopped off at the end.
  • Must see

    To quote the 90s commercials, "You just don't get it". Best film out there by far. Val Kilmer at his best.
  • Every time I have popcorn...

    ...I think of this movie. I love that the professional reviews are all about how the material is not being handled seriously enough: that's the point. I always felt that the characters had a great deal of gravitas inside their prank filled heads. At least that's how it was with my friends in college. Actually, 25 years later, we're all still kind of like this.
