College kids working on government weapons while being lied to by their teachers? An audacious premise with no basis in reality is just the beginning.
One of screenwriter Proft's most engaging scripts, "Real Genius" is a classic us-versus-them situation with terrific performances and humor that focuses on targets other than flatulence. It holds up to repeat viewings for many of us who enjoy watching the premise unfold while discovering little gags and clues we missed the first four or five times. And it introduced me to Tears for Fears.
I shared it with a co-worker who managed to correctly identify every single major character in the film among our co-workers; some of them were self-aware enough to enjoy the film AND the joke.
You'll be pleased to discover a movie this smart if you haven't found it already. Recommending it "is a moral imperative."
