A Goofy, Nostalgic ’80s Comedy 
‘Real Genius’
Newcomer at Pacific Tech University Mitch Taylor (Gabriel Jarret) is quite a science genius at 15 years old. At first, he doesn’t get along with fellow science whiz Chris Knight (Val Kilmer), but the two eventually begin working together on a groundbreaking laser. However, will their professor use their genius and their project responsibly?
Underneath some of the crude humor, this film is a highly entertaining ’80s romp with razor-tongued dialogue, ridiculous situations, and a nostalgic soundtrack.
