A painfully mediocre film, Real Idiot is more like it.
The kids, most especially Chris Knight (very hard to discern any genius in him), look like they're in a serious
need of Ritalin. Just take as many as they want. I don't really care, but calm the fuck down once and for all.
Sheesh, check out the nonexistent sideburns on Val. Meanwhile, I can't believe that nobody working on the project foresaw
the true purpose. I mean, it's so obvious. Speaking of stupid, notice how the 15-year-old Mitch had a hard time figuring out
the weirdo's disappearance. I thought the solution was quite simple: just close the damn door!
All in all, math and science should've been shown more in Real Idiot while the crappy plot needs to be cut out for
the most part.
