REAL GENIUS stars Val Kilmer as a smart but irresponsible college student who is teamed with a high school overacheiver (Gabe Jarret) to work on a laser project, and both are later to learn that military police plan to use the project as a secret weapon. Average teen comedy has a slow start but eventually gets more interesting as it progresses. Though Kilmer and many of the others give fine performances, Deborah Foreman, of VALLEY GIRL fame, steals the show in a brief role as a girl Kilmer has eyes for.
