Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up. This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the di alogue is laced with sharp wit; t here are some lo vely scenes th at have nothing to do with the stor y yet are care fully set up, almost as black outs (e.g. , Mitch goe s to a lect ure at which a few students have l eft tape re corders inst ead of attendin g; late r, at another lectur e there are more tape reco rders than students; a nd, in a final scene, one la rge tape re corder gives t he lectu re to a room p opulate d by nothin g but other sm all recorders! ); and throw-aw ay scenes t hat make you want to st op and b ack up the tape ( e.g., C hris off-hand edly cuttin g a slice off a bar o f solid n itrogen to make a slug for the co ffee mach ine). I t&# 39;s also one of the few movies to boast the pr esence of the memorable Michel le Meyerin k -- as Jordan, the &quot ;girl-nerd&a mp;quot; who made be ing smart an d female something to b e emulated. And there& amp;#39 ;s Tears f or Fears great song, "E verybody Wan ts to Rule the World&quo t; provid ing the perfec t coda a s the c losing c redits begin t o roll . . . . Yes: reall y now, wha t's t here to be e mbarrass ed about?详情
