Quotes

Bill: I know it's impossible for one person or even two people to heal the whole world but if each of us could just heal a little tiny part of it... think what a world that would be.

User Reviews

Good enough to remember...

I saw this movie once, at least 10 years ago, on 'USA Up All Night w/ Gilbert Godfried' and I still recall most of the movie. I remember it being really corny, but quite funny. This film is very much along the same lines as "Zapped" and "Revenge of the Nerds" with a 90's twist. And the scene where he shrinks and he's in the girl's underwear is a classic scene that sticks in my memory to this day. It's a tragedy that this movie is not available on DVD or even video, for that matter. I give it 8 out of 10 votes.
