Real Genius Ratings & Reviews
- Mister ArnMay 17, 2025Val Kilmer nails the role of Chris Knight in this lighthearted comedy. His performance encompassed more than just delivering lines. He used his entire body to create this free-spirited character.
- Charles LondonApril 2, 2025My impression of Val Kilmer has always been that of a sometimes-misunderstood artistic genius with an eccentric dash of irreverence, traveling through life off-road. In this movie he plays a young scientific genius with exuberant doses of eccentricity and irreverence, blazing his trail in a very amusing film. It exhibits the talents that would launch Kilmer's remarkable career. RIP Val.
- Michael James RiciglianoMarch 24, 2025All time classic for me. Always a 5/5 or a 10/10
