Zapped back to the 80s!!! If you were born in the 80s or a huge fan of the decade, "Zapped" is one of those movies that you could relate to, whether you were the jock, geek, reporter or nice guy. Simply put, this is a must have to add to your retro DVD collection.
Scott Baio and Willie Aames (from TV's Charles in Charge) play best buds Barney and Peyton who get into anything and everything after a freak lab accident causes Barney to become the Telekinetic Kid, wreaking havoc wherever he goes and the ensuing comedy that follows.
Since I was only 7 when this movie first came out, I didn't catch it until I was about 12; boy, I never knew how much fun high school would/could become. All in all, a great testament to my HS days. Definite 2 thumbs up!!!
zapped This is a movie that I have been looking for for years, happy to have found it.
With great power comes great irresponsibility Like many others, I was drawn to this film about a nerdy high-school student's (Scott Baio) misuse of his telekinetic powers out of nostalgia. I was also lured by some Internet buzz that suggested that this film was a forgotten 80s gem from the days when comedies were not afraid to be unabashedly R-rated. Well, it is kind of interesting to see again how raunchy teen comedies could get away with being back then, but this movie is even worse than I remembered. Scatman Crothers is a bright spot and Baio is likeable, but this is strictly the type of film you watch on cable at 2:00 in the morning for fifteen minutes or so.
zapped Zapped,is about a boy that gets powers and uses them to get what he wants its a great teenage movie My kids loved it . V Nall
ZAPPED FINALLY! I couldn't believe that ZAPPED was finally released on DVD. I remember watching this film over millions of time on HBO when I was younger. Heather Thomas was a babe. I recall giving this film an A+. I'm over the fact that the film is A+ material, but it worth watching again for the memories of the innocent 80's where nudity ruled.
