Review of Zapped Again!

Zapped Again! (1990 Video)
2/10
The humanity!
28 November 1998
6 votes for a "10" rating? Either the imdb had a glitch, or the cast of this movie is trying to save themselves the humiliation of finding themselves on the bottom-100 list (which I'm sure they will join shortly).

To summarize, this kid moves to a new high-school, where things are pretty lame. He makes friends with the local Science Club, who are being bullied by the Key Club (where all the jocks and popular people hang out) and the faculty. Nothing seems to go right until the kid and his new friends discover a formula that gives him superpower-type-telekenesis. He finds that he can control objects with his mind. But it only lasts a short time, however, so they put the power into a bottle of prune juice, which he drinks anytime he needs the power. With his new power and his super-coolness, he outwits the faculty and the local bullies, gets the girl, and saves the Science Club.

I could almost accept this pathetic movie for what it is if it was made in the early 80's, along with all the other cheesy Animal-House and Revenge of the Nerds rip-offs. But this movie was actually made in 1990 (1989 in the credits), which is something that is really hard to believe. The soundtrack is about 10 years behind cool, as are the clothes, the plot, well, everything. The whole movie looks like a terrible, twisted version of "Saved by the Bell", and the cheesiness of the whole thing can be represented by the music-video-like ending that makes Vanilla Ice look cool.

There is nothing positive I can even say about this movie, except that the girl is kind of cute. Don't rent this movie, don't watch this movie, don't go near this movie.

Two words: Lyle Alzedo. 'Nuff said.
