He's Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell), just a regular-guy college student atMedfield College--until one fateful night he is accidentally transformedinto a human computer. His newfound genius makes him an overnightsensation when he gets all the answers right on acollege quiz show. This instant celebrity status also brings an instant massiveego, which threatens his friendships as well as his safety. Caughtup between battling college deans (Joe Flynn and Alan Hewitt) and a dangerousmobster (Cesar Romero), Dexter soon learns friends are more valuable thanmoney.This movie, released in 1970, is a true romp with silly situations and madcap misadventures. The size of the computer itself is now good for a sight gag. It's likable but goofy, withno real weight. A fun, innocent diversion that the whole family can look andlaugh at, each for different reasons. Did people really dress like that? --Peggy Maltby-Etra

- Not as much fun as Flubber
We've been watching a lot of these old Disney live-action movies for family movie night, and we LOVED "Flubber" and "Son of Flubber," but this one was a bit too advanced for my 8YO son, and a bit too dull for the adults.Still, it was fun to see Kurt Russell at an early age.
Rating: - Great Fun!!
The movie is really funny, and even though the story is highly improbable, it is enjoyable.
Rating: - another great nostalgia
this movie is from the same triology of the advantures of Dexter Railly
and i loved it very much..all the three of them...
