Harmless Sci-Fi family comedy by Disney, where Kurt Russell overcame the Curse of younger stars!!
23 January 2024
Kurt Russell was one of few to overcame the "Curse of younger stars" in Hollywood, in a nutshell promising young talents as Bill Mumy, Haley Mills, Shirley Temple, Macaulay Culkin, Fred Savage just named a few them had failed after as adult actors, instead Kurt Russell reaches on stardom passing by litmus text without scratches, on Walt Disney family standard this clever story unfolds upon a normal IQ student Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell) was unintentionally electrocuted by a computer, by this Dexter has been receiving through his mind all computer database, becoming an instantly genius.

As current student at Medfield College, henceforth all Universities want his registration, in other hand a crook businessman A. J. Arno (George Romero) approaches him aiming for use its mental abilities on horse races, gambling and so on, meanwhile his College elects Dexter and others three moronic pupils running for an exciting University knowledge quiz upon a 120.000 dollars jackpot for the winner broadcasting on TV.

Attached a fine supporting casting as weird characters as Joe Flynn, William Schallert, Alan Hewitt and mainly by the clumsy crook Richard Bakalyan that stolen the show, strongly humor oriented mocking for the older scholars whom refuses accept newest ideas to enhance the upmost qualitative methodology at school, also a massive slapstick style is applied in many funny sequences, overall a harmless teenager comedy that will satisfy everyone.

Thanks for reading.
