Title: Quotables On Parade!
Review: Oh, the 80s. This indefatigably defining 80s movie definitely deserves to be on your list of guilty pleasures. Val Kilmer plays a genuis-slacker who delights in wreaking havoc and using his brain power to concoct ways to outsmart the vending machine. He attends an MIT or CIT like school and is given a 15 year old, stiff-as-a-board super genuis as a roommate. Kilmer's character, Chris Knight, takes his new roommate, Mitch, under his wing as they create a laser for an advanced class, though the professor may have ulterior motives (William Atherton, deliciously type cast as the two dimensional sycophant).The real genuis of this movie is its one liners:"I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, when he said, 'I drank what?' ""I want to see more of you around the lab." "Fine, I'll gain weight."Give it a try when Dour documentaries and political pieces are too taxing for your brain to handle and you desire a bit of clever fluff.
