Siskel and Ebert once ran a secial show entitled quot;Movies I#39;m Embarrassed to Admit I Liked.quot; I suose that if I comosed such a list of guilty leasures, this one would be one of them . . . but uon reflection, it#39;s really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science rodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college rofessor William Atherton (in yet another of his atented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the rofessor#39;s rize laser roject, not knowing that the rof is really develoing a government weaon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another rodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen u.br\ This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there#39;s so much more: the dialogue is laced with shar wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set u, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tae recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tae recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tae recorder gives the lecture to a room oulated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to sto and back u the tae (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).br\ It#39;s also one of the few movies to boast the resence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the quot;girl-nerdquot; who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there#39;s Tears for Fears great song, quot;Everybody Wants to Rule the Worldquot; roviding the erfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what#39;s there to be embarrassed about?
