Diagonaldi Very well executed

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

andyvanberkum And that's no good as far as Captain Howdy is concerned. Scatman Crothers? No... It's hard to describe what is going on in the Overlook Hotel. You only THOUGHT the pool scene was looped! :OThe truth is the whole thing is. :|

SnoopyStyle Barney Springboro (Scott Baio) is a real high school science nerd. His best friend Peyton Nichols (Willie Aames) just wants to party. Coach Dexter Jones accidentally adds to Barney's formula. Bernadette is the pushy class nerd who wants to interview Barney. The mixture explodes giving him telekinetic powers. Jane Mitchell (Heather Thomas) is the entitled cheerleader going out with a college guy. Both Bernadette and Peyton find out about Barney's powers. Bernadette wants to publish while Peyton uses his powers to win a baseball game.It's a functional sex romp of a pretty low caliber. It was a lot better seeing this as a boy. This is the usual raunchy teen movie with nude boobs. The idea of a guy with telekinetic powers is a lot better than the execution here. The highlight is Heather Thomas. Scott Baio has a bit of charisma but he doesn't seem to be fully committed to being a nerd. A good pair of thick glasses would help and he needs to button up his shirt. It's like he's too cool to play the part.

Woodyanders Nerdy high school science whiz Barney Springboro (a likable performance by Scott Baio) acquires telekinetic powers after being exposed to an experimental batch of premium grade marijuana. Barney uses his newfound abilities to create all kinds of comically wild havoc which includes helping his hip, wealthy best friend Payton (a winningly breezy turn by Willie Aames) hook up with snarky, yet desirable cheerleader Jane Mitchell (a delightfully bitchy portrayal by Heather Thomas). Director/co-writer Robert J. Rosenthal relates the amusingly silly story at a constant snappy pace, does a solid job of maintaining a light and breezy tone throughout, and tosses in an entertainingly nonstop barrage of admittedly dumb, but still funny lowbrow humor. An inspired send-up of "Star Trek" rates as one definite gut-busting highlight. The prom dance climax which cheerfully parodies the conclusion of "Carrie" likewise hits the sidesplitting spot. The lively and engaging acting from a game cast qualifies as a major plus: the adorable Felice Schachter as sweet school newspaper reporter geek Bernadette, Robert Mandan as pompous principal Walter J. Coolidge, Scatman Crothers as cranky baseball coach Dexter Jones, Greg Bradford as jerky college preppie Robert Wolcott, Sue Ane Langdon as ditsy English teacher Rose Burnhart, and Hilary Beane as sexy secretary Corinne Updike. Roger Bowen and Mews Small are hilarious as Barney's uptight and overbearing ultra-conservative parents. Eddie Deezen has a small role in one of his standard dweeb parts. The gorgeous Jewel Shepard pops up (and out) for a brief, but nice topless scene. Daniel Pearl's slick cinematography gives the picture an attractive polished look. The bouncy soundtrack, the endearingly chintzy (less than) special effects, and several vintage cornball early 80's musical montage sequences all further add to the infectiously goofy merriment. An absolute hoot.

hman3624 I think after seeing this movie it wasn't the best acting but the plot was good and the final prom scene was worth waiting for. I especially liked the friendship of Barney Springboro, played by Scott Baio and Payton Nichols, played by Willie Ames. The sexy co-ed, Jane, played by Heather Thomas was as fine as a high school girl could be, she was snobbish and you just wanted her to really get embarrassed in the end. I just knew she had to have something interesting happen to her and low and behold it did in the prom sequence. Jane had her pink, strapless gown pulled right off her through Barney's telekinetic power leaving her in only pink matching panties, garter-belt, stockings and heels for the whole school to see. As she discovered her predicament she screamed and quickly ran off only to have Payton chase after her to try to grab her panties. Then what happened next was unbelievable, Barney got carried away, opened the gym door blowing up a stiff breeze which started to tear off everyone's clothes who were in the vicinity. Girls had their dresses ripped off them as they were down to their bras and panties. One lovely blond was shown in just a white lace g-string panty with her breasts covered by nothing but her hands. Another girl up on stage dancing, had her flirty dress blow freely in the breeze, ala Marilyn Monroe, then had it fly off her leaving her in just her white bikini panties. Still more girls were running around showing their assets in skimpy bras and panties trying hard to cover-up while guys were pursuing them. All in all it was a unique but sexy ending to a cute show and had me thinking I wished I'd have been at that prom!
