One of my all time favorites.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I loved the original Zapped, the one that was made in the 80's and starred Scott Baio, Willie Aames, Heather Thomas and that former teen model named Felice. That movie with it's goofy humor was charming and I liked the cast and the plot of the geeky teenaged scientist accidentally mixing some potion that gave him the power of telekinesis. I saw that on HBO several times and enjoyed it and than bought the VHS video tape. I saw the sequel Zapped 2 on TV and it just doesn't have the humor or the charm of Zapped 1 and I think it stinks that this movie has made it to DVD when Zapped 1 isn't on DVD at all. I mean shouldn't the first movie had made it to DVD first! This sequel is terrible and a major snorefest. Dullesville! Yawn City!

This is one of those movies that suffers from painfully poor reviews here at the IMDb, from people who are the most pretentious film snobs you will ever not meet. If you are going to judge this film against something with legitimate cinematic merit, like Citizen Kane, or Seven Samurai, or whatever stock staple film you choose, of course you will be disappointed.However, if you just want a ridiculous early 90's teen film for a little escapist fun whilst flipping through the channels at 4am on a Saturday night, then you could do a lot worse than this movie. If you are a big fan of teen movies in particular, you may find this pretty enjoyable. It's no Breakfast Club, don't get me wrong. It's complete crap. But it's fun crap.So, if you are the kind of person who generally enjoys teen movies and has a high tolerance for zany antics, over the top performances, and silly plots, then you should watch this movie in the event that you happen across it.If you are the kind of person who refuses to acknowledge anything as cinema except for films produced during the French New Wave, then not only should you avoid this movie, but also, maybe not waste so much time and energy criticizing it so harshly, you Godard-watching hippie.

If you happen to come across this movie in some late-night setting on TNT or USA, as I have every time I see it, you will be in the best mood to watch this movie. It is not a middle of the day, hey lets rent this, movie. It's a happenstance movie. And it's hilarious. And there is one small encounter between the teacher and Kevin. I believe it goes like this: Kevin: How about, is your clam ready for my linguine? Teacher: Oh, no little boy, how about is your linguine ready for my clam?gross.

6 votes for a "10" rating? Either the imdb had a glitch, or the cast of this movie is trying to save themselves the humiliation of finding themselves on the bottom-100 list (which I'm sure they will join shortly).To summarize, this kid moves to a new high-school, where things are pretty lame. He makes friends with the local Science Club, who are being bullied by the Key Club (where all the jocks and popular people hang out) and the faculty. Nothing seems to go right until the kid and his new friends discover a formula that gives him superpower-type-telekenesis. He finds that he can control objects with his mind. But it only lasts a short time, however, so they put the power into a bottle of prune juice, which he drinks anytime he needs the power. With his new power and his super-coolness, he outwits the faculty and the local bullies, gets the girl, and saves the Science Club.I could almost accept this pathetic movie for what it is if it was made in the early 80's, along with all the other cheesy Animal-House and Revenge of the Nerds rip-offs. But this movie was actually made in 1990 (1989 in the credits), which is something that is really hard to believe. The soundtrack is about 10 years behind cool, as are the clothes, the plot, well, everything. The whole movie looks like a terrible, twisted version of "Saved by the Bell", and the cheesiness of the whole thing can be represented by the music-video-like ending that makes Vanilla Ice look cool.There is nothing positive I can even say about this movie, except that the girl is kind of cute. Don't rent this movie, don't watch this movie, don't go near this movie.Two words: Lyle Alzedo. 'Nuff said.
