Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.
This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).
It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?
Typically Mel Gibson,preaching but nothing else
讲真，马克沃尔伯格不适合演神父，一脸痞子样，以及无神论者很难共情本片
冒险家精神是可贵的，狗狗也是很可怜的，但是把重要信息放在石标里跟出门没有留字条这种低级错误真是让人无语……拍的不如儿时看的小说杀狗取暖让人印象深刻……
一般般 昏迷了20年醒来后还想去上高中完成最后的舞会 其实这个创意就很不错 让女主好好过一下青春期 收获一波友情 舞会温情或者燃一点就很好了 非要搞社牛抢夺舞会皇后还有什么深奥的朝未来看 我个人就不是很喜欢。一来整个电影颜值不高 二来女主昏迷了20年 而她现在想的都是很老套俗气甚至可以说很中二的东西 说是忘记过去但讲得很表面 因为她已经老了没有资格缅怀过去而并不是人就应该向前看 不过最后一起跳拉拉队舞大团圆式的结尾又很有煽动性 我还是有被感动到 加多一星给自己的开心！PS女主拿出个计算机装手机这里笑死！还有和死对头小声嘀咕互骂那里也好搞笑！
7.5分
演员在体态上卖力的自我折磨就像店家拉着“最后一日”的清仓横幅却牢牢盘踞一个月一样，沦为仅剩的一点可怜噱头。前半段看到马克·沃尔伯格应聘演员的时候有短暂闪回到《不羁夜》，拳击手失业也不一定就要做神父嘛，还可以下海的（不是）。
没有最绝望的时候，绝处能逢生。
说实话，主演的表演很到位，把一个痞子气的神父演的活灵活现了。
我本来以为是穿越片，但是竟然不是？？而且剧情比我预想中要好得多！我唯一的一点疑问是，女主到底是不是被她的死对头陷害才摔伤的！！？
受洗之后出了这么多事，这也算是对他的考验吧😂
梅尔吉普森没（好）戏拍到老，人生难预料。
情节不复杂，以为狗狗会成为主角，结果不到20分钟全死了，歌颂了相拥相伴的兄弟情谊，不是猪队友。但是弑君者怎么成这样了……
反观我自己，疫情封校，毕业好像只剩下了毕设的压力，也不会有毕业典礼了吧，就这样结束也挺好
一开始的情景以为是倒叙，其实是故事前段没交代完全。
20220615——158；今年的新片，冲着马克·沃尔伯格和梅尔·吉布森去看的。一个拳击手因个人遭遇最终成为神父的故事。根据真实人物故事改编。
信仰的力量，特别是在面对困境时。两个男主演技很是出色。
这电影的叙事太容易让人误解了，一不小心就会理解成，上帝看到众生中有此大逆不道之人士，就给他上强度上磨难，让他断送运动生涯，演艺生涯暗淡，情路坎坷，飞来车祸，最后给你个渐冻症让你皈依我主……
马克是这几年还比较喜欢的演员，剥离了宗教的外衣其实作为一个普通人的励志片还是不错的。不是所有电影都要有跌宕的情节，静下来看个故事
6.3.比较平庸的校园喜剧。减肥后的蕾蓓尔威尔森看起来清爽了许多，但也没有以前讨喜了。剧情比较俗烂，舞蹈和主题表达也没有惊喜之处。
中规中矩的传记电影，这个世界上总有一些人能够把目标坚持到底
