“Real Genius”

7.8

Ice man plays a child prodigy who gets exploited for his real genius by a professor and the government. They attempt to steal his space laser, and he turns it into a pretty hilarious prank. File this under the college hijinks category alongside “Back to School” and “Animal House.” Val Kilmer kills it as the tortured genius who just wants to have fun while he changes the world. A fun hour and a half of debauchery and lessons to not take life to seriously. Maybe a little more serious than the characters in the film, but not all the time.
