This film essentially involves a high school nerd named "Barney Springbaro" (Scott Baio) working in the high school laboratory and being joined by his best friend "Peyton Nichols" (Willie Aames) who spills some beer into a formula Barney was working on. After Peyton leaves Barney accidently drops the beaker containing the formula which explodes and stuns him for a moment. Upon gaining his composure he finds that he has acquired the ability to move objects with his mind (telekinesis) which scares him at first but as time passes he begins to use it to benefit both himself and Peyton. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought this film was okay when it first came out but having seen it again recently I have to admit that it hasn't weathered the test of time very well at all. The humor wasn't that sharp due in large part to several comedic scenes being repeated once too often. In any case, while this film wasn't necessarily bad, it honestly wasn't that good either and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
