Real Genius is one of those films i wish i was old enough to see in theaters. Between this film, the star wars, back to the futures and indiana jones movies, i sometimes wish i was born back in the late 60's-early 70's instead of June of 1983, so i would be old enough to witness these great films in the theaters were they belong instead of on cable. Thankfully with high deff home theaters and DVD, i can get the next best thing.
Real Genius is a well crafted light harted college comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously and instead of focusing on guys trying to get laid, gross out humor,stoners, and girls trying to "distroy" one another, this one has hardly any of that and focuses on the characters and there attempt to build a super laser, only to realise that its meant as a weapon for the government.
Val Kilmer, the movies star, really shines here. His slacker genius role really pays off, and he comes off as almost as an older brother to the rest of the cast.
In closing, this is one of those rare 80's college comedys which don't depend on sex and drugs to get its laughs
