Movie Reviews of Zapped!
Movie Review: So Bad, It's Great!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot tell you how awful I think this film is, yet with every fiber of my guilty being, I cannot get enough of it! Awful script, mediocre acting and over the top attempts at anything for a laugh, what should have been a complete and utter trainwreck actually proves to be one of the guiltiest pleasures in the world. I LOVE IT!
When forced by friends in late night gab fests what movie they'll never admit to anyone they love, ZAPPED! almost always tops the list (with Spielberg's "1941" a close second) - I'm talking about myself and close friends my age.
It's hard to predict whether this movie will have lasting impact on future generations - I mean, the clothes, feathered hairstyles and make-up of the early 80's are dreadful (i.e. Aames's Jordache jeans), but for anyone in the mood for a good d*** and fart joke (not to mention a belching dog), I highly recommend.
I grew up in the early days of cable tv and ZAPPED! aired a lot back then, almost as often as THE BEASTMASTER. Since then, it's been like an enigma - like a bad relationship you know will never work, yet you can't walk away from and try to hide from everyone at all costs. That's ZAPPED! for me - I love it, but after 25 years, I feel only now I can tell the world.
Get the DVD - you just may like it as much as I do. But don't tell anyone! ;-)
Movie Review: Scott Baio teenage Sith?
Summary: 5 Stars
I almost, almost forgot about this movie and found out by accident a month ago or so it was coming out on DVD. What a cult classic!!! We all know Scott Baio to be the nice guy. Well in "Zapped" he is a nice guy, but with a twist, he has telekinetic powers via an experiment done in a high school laboratory. Then he sort of takes out his frustrations out on people who annoy him or have made his life miserable. Plenty of nudity, adult language and 1980s style/fashion.
Scott Baio has that semi-Sith quality about him, just watch "Zapped" and you will know what I mean. In conclusion, I can't wait to buy this movie, if you didn't already figure that part out. My only regret is I wish I had done cool experiments when I was in high school to give me powers. No we were too busy participating in norm reference testing.
I'm just saying......
Movie Review: Zapped back to the 80s!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you were born in the 80s or a huge fan of the decade, "Zapped" is one of those movies that you could relate to, whether you were the jock, geek, reporter or nice guy. Simply put, this is a must have to add to your retro DVD collection.
Scott Baio and Willie Aames (from TV's Charles in Charge) play best buds Barney and Peyton who get into anything and everything after a freak lab accident causes Barney to become the Telekinetic Kid, wreaking havoc wherever he goes and the ensuing comedy that follows.
Since I was only 7 when this movie first came out, I didn't catch it until I was about 12; boy, I never knew how much fun high school would/could become. All in all, a great testament to my HS days. Definite 2 thumbs up!!!
Movie Review: You Can telekinesis, but will he listen?
Summary: 5 Stars
They say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I wonder?
A laboratory explosion (caused by some very common substances in uncommon combinations) resulting in telekinesis. It could not happen to a better kid, Barney Springboro (Scott Baio) High school senior.
What would you do to flex your new found powers? His best buddy Peyton Nichols (Willie Aames) has plans, Las Vegas plans. Bernadette (Felice Schachter) has reservations. Oops it is prom time, can he resist the Carrie treatment? And what of his future?
We know that in real life Felice Schachter goes on to become the "1990 St. Pauli Girl"
Movie Review: ZAPPED: A Terribly Terrific Scott Baio Tragic Comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie "ZAPPED" validated that Scott Baio is not a star. Although he has aged gracefully, this movie is strong evidence that male stars in the '80s did not require talent to be hired as talent. My intention is not to castrate the joy from my heart that this film brought into my pre-pubescent eyes. Rather, I encourage those that require a randomly awful comedy to watch this film, as it offers the audience a rare opportunity to shake his/her head in wonderment on how these individuals were ever labeled as worthy of a feature film.
