todd is an excellent actor, and will go far in the business. He has always excelled in everything he has attempted. His maternal grandfather always said of todd, he's a leader not a follower.well, I guess I am a tad bit biased, he is my son. This my disqualify me, but just had to get my 78 cents in. unfortunately, he has been killed in two of his appearances, Houston Knights & Monk. That was tough on old dad.Hope you fans of his keep watching for him. A lot of good actors do not get their big break for years, so every part they get is just another step on the road.
Todd Eric Andrews is brilliant in this film, working with a very witty, charismatic and charming character. His presence is not only enough to compensate for a silly plot and a predictable, lifeless romance, but he is also able to bring this sequel to a level higher than the first film. The are a number of amusing moments, and they are genuinely funny this time round, with likable even if very silly characters and Andrews heading the cast. Just like the first entry, this is not a film to watch for nudity, as there is very little. It is not one to watch for the premise either, because all the science behind it is not deeply examined. But, it is a film to watch for amusement - simple good fun.
This is one of those movies that suffers from painfully poor reviews here at the IMDb, from people who are the most pretentious film snobs you will ever not meet. If you are going to judge this film against something with legitimate cinematic merit, like Citizen Kane, or Seven Samurai, or whatever stock staple film you choose, of course you will be disappointed.However, if you just want a ridiculous early 90's teen film for a little escapist fun whilst flipping through the channels at 4am on a Saturday night, then you could do a lot worse than this movie. If you are a big fan of teen movies in particular, you may find this pretty enjoyable. It's no Breakfast Club, don't get me wrong. It's complete crap. But it's fun crap.So, if you are the kind of person who generally enjoys teen movies and has a high tolerance for zany antics, over the top performances, and silly plots, then you should watch this movie in the event that you happen across it.If you are the kind of person who refuses to acknowledge anything as cinema except for films produced during the French New Wave, then not only should you avoid this movie, but also, maybe not waste so much time and energy criticizing it so harshly, you Godard-watching hippie.
This film was the swansong of the dying 80s. Not only did it fail to deliver, it showed how low Linda Blair (of "The Exorcists" fame) and Karen Black ("Five Easy Pieces") sank.I don't blame the actors or actresses, or, for that matter, the director. The fault belongs to the writer (who should have known better) and to the producers. The problem with Hollywood is that it can't produce anything good anymore; if you want something like the original "Zapped!", just see "Zapped!"The plot is hackneyed. It's good, I suppose, if you're bored and it's a Friday evening with nothing better to do, and you happen to be watching Joe Bob Briggs.
