Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What lifts the production above the run-of-the-mill is swift direction by Martha Coolidge, who has a firm grasp over the manic material.

fresh:
Real Genius contains many pleasures, but one of the best is its conviction that the American campus contains life as we know it.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
What the film needs, instead of these familiar teen-movie trappings, is a cleverness and eccentricity to match that of its characters. For the most part, these are qualities that it lacks.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,

fresh:
It does make you wonder if the drive of the US education system is ultimately to develop better weapons of mass-destruction, though Coolidge's movie is too hazily good-natured to capitalise on the tougher aspects of the material.
– Geoff Andrew,

rotten:
The humor is relentlessly cruel, smug, and disconnected from any sense of how human beings might behave in similar situations.
