    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The lines spoken by Walter Matthau as Einstein, "I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right", "Time is an illusion", and "God does not play dice", are all actual Albert Einstein quotations.
    • Goofs
      Ed checks the wrong answers for several questions in the I.Q. test.
    • Quotes

      Albert Einstein: Are you thinking what I am thinking?

      Ed Walters: Well what would be the odds of that happening?

    • Crazy credits
      Several characters' names are given incorrectly in the credits; Stephen Fry's character is spelled "James Morland" without the E, Lou Jacobi's character Kurt Gödel is spelled with no umlaut over the O, and Tony Shalhoub's character is titled "Bob Watters," not Bob Rosetti as given throughout the film.

    Just a sweet and honest movie that I feel is a little under rated here on IMDb
    I recently saw I.Q. and even though I'm not a romantic comedy type of gal, I think that it was just a nice and sweet movie to watch. So many movies in my opinion lack honesty. You know that feeling when you're watching a movie and you just feel robbed because it's taking something from the story and it was like the director just threw it together like it was trash? The story between the scientists is a sweet and funny one. How they stuck together and they tried to help Tim Robbins character become smart. I liked the love story between Tim and Meg because it was simple and brought up a good point when it comes to love, "nothing is what it seems". I would recommend this for a Sunday morning.
