I recently saw I.Q. and even though I'm not a romantic comedy type of gal, I think that it was just a nice and sweet movie to watch. So many movies in my opinion lack honesty. You know that feeling... Full review

Cute comedy of Albert Einstein helping a garage mechanic win his mathemetician niece. Alright, that sounds pretty dumb, but it's quite charming, nonetheless.... Full review

This movie is absolutely precious. The toryline is beautiful, the acting is wonderful, and it's funny enough to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside without being sappy. The only problem is that the physics is pretty much made up and... Full review

While only a Scrooge would deem the film offensive I suspect that some readers with elevated I.Qs would find it insufferable.
Matthau alone cannot carry this load of old codswallop on his frail shoulders but he takes a worthy stab, curbing his usual mannerisms, with an endearing display of doddering genius, backed-up by a chattering chorus of ageing cronies (Lou Jacobi, Joe Maher and Gene Saks).

Hey, I have enough of a soft, sensitive side to enjoy the occasional well-crafted chick flick.....I like Tim Robbins, so I'll forgive him.....It's a Romantic Comedy without a bit of romantic chemistry or a solitary laugh..... ... Full Review

Though initially it may seem like odd casting, Matthau is perfect as Einstein, making the character his own.....Balancing all of this in a somewhat delicate, always humorous fashion is director/co-producer Fred Schepisi ("A Cry in the Dark," "Roxanne"), working from a screenplay by Andy Breckman ("True Identity") and Michael Leeson ("The War of the Roses")..... ...
