5.0 out of 5 stars One very funny movie, November 9, 2006

By

This review is from: Raising Genius (DVD)

Justin Long (Jeepers Creepers, Dodgeball) delivers a particularly funny performance as an 18 year old socially dysfunctional genius who locks himself in the bathroom for two months to work out mathematical formulas on the shower walls. The script is very clever and the cast excellent, particularly Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me) as his social-climbing (and equally dysfuncitional) mother, but Justin Long steals the show. Also starring Ed Begley Jr., Tippi Hedren, and Shirley Jones.

What can you say about a film involving a young man who will not leave the bathroom?
Hilarious and, at times, poignant seems to sum it up.
Excellent cast with Stephen Root as the beleagured dad who just wants to get through each day and Justin Long as the son who just wants to be left alone. Dysfunctional family - you bet - but one that keeps you interested.
It would appear as if Long has watched Office Space more than once in order to adapt Root's character from that film, into his own version of Milton for Raising Genuis.
A great film? No, but one that should be in any film lovers library anyway.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raising Genius, June 22, 2009

This is really funny and good for family viewing. Only one scene deserves parental guidance for young viewers. The cast is ideal I think. Danica McKellar does not do much but is very effective doing her part. The plot is simple but very good.
