Zapped into an 80's teen flick
|
| " Zapped " has received a steady amount of negative reviews. But this, 1982, Scott Baio vehicle , was never intended to be taken seriously. Directed by 80's teen movie director , Bob Rosenthal , " Zapped " , tells the story of a young teenager, named Barney, who gains telekenetic abilitites , after a high school laboratory accident. Barney and his best friend , played by Willie Aames , proceed to take advantage of this newly discovered ability by gaining control over bullies , gambling , and gorgeous girls. With a plot like that , would you expect " Terms of Endearment " ? No , certainly not. Whereas , tons of films came out in the same vein like 1983's " Spring Break " and 1982's " Fast Times at Ridgemont High ", " Zapped " exemplifies the 80's era of teen movies with it's brazen silliness and carefree plots.If you can view the film for what it is , you'll find it, somewhat, brainlessly entertaining. And even if you don't , the supporting cast like Scatman Crothers , Heather Thomas , Mews Small ,Robert Mandan , and Felice Schacter, help suspend your belief, for the film's, 98 minutes. The film contains some adult language , brief nudity and drug references , but could easily receive a PG-13 rating , by today's standards. However , I don't recommend the film be viewed by kids under 17. |
