1985美国喜剧爱情片《天才反击》由马莎·库利奇导演，Val Kilmer主演，影片讲述的是：
Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled Movies Im Embarrassed to Admit I Liked I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures this one would be one of them but upon reflection its really a lot better than that Fifteen yearold science prodigy Mitch Gabe Jarret is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character to work on the professors prize laser project not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon Along the way Mitch is befriended by Chris Val Kilmer another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up
This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy but theres so much more the dialogue is laced with sharp wit there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up almost as blackouts eg Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending later at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students and in a final scene one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders and throwaway scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape eg Chris offhandedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine
Its also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink as Jordan the girlnerd who made being smart and female something to be emulated And theres Tears for Fears great song Everybody Wants to Rule the World providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll Yes really now whats there to be embarrassed about
