“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.

“One Crazy Summer”

John Cusack does John Cusack things. Demi Moore as an unexpected love interest. Evil rich brat trying to beat up on the nerdy kids. Prank wars. An annual regatta. This crazy cast of characters comes together to have one crazy summer. Another one of those light, fun, short and sweet summer comedies from the 80’s. They really never let you down.

“Summer Rental”

7.2

Exactly what you expect, and want out of these popcorn flicks. Fun, laughs, and shenanigans. Not a lot of stakes in the story. Similar to “The Great Outdoors,” but without as many comedic big guns on the bill. Slap on some sunscreen, and get your front row sandy seat to the annual regatta, it’s sure to be a good time!

“Teenage Bounty Hunters”

8.1

Did not see this one coming out of left field. A super fun 10 episode ride full of debauchery, treachery, and straight up fun. Such an oddball group of characters. A mix between “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and “Insatiable.” Turn your brain off and, like, kick ass.

“Bill & Ted Face The Music”

7.2

If you liked the originals, you’ll enjoy this one. Same old Bill and Ted shenanigans. An… interesting soundtrack. Cameos galore, including the valiant return of Death! The narrative was a bit messy at times, but it was great to see the dynamic duo back together for an hour and a half of fun. Power up your phone booth, and get ready to dial the fun up to 11!
