brandi-ferrell Review of Genius

Genius (1999 TV Movie)

I know, I'm not the target audience, but...

[5/10 · 14 November 2022]

I am currently going through and watching all the old Disney Channel original movies in order and genius was next on the list. I had never heard of it before or seen it obviously and it was OK for the most part but a 30 something woman watching a movie about a middle school aged boy genius maybe just isn't the right combination. It was kind of funny seeing Charlie be Chaz. But haven't we all seen this kind of story a hundred times? At least it wasn't a switching places story or switching bodies or something. Just seemed like a lot of work just to trick some girl you've met once into liking you. Also I don't really understand why it was ok for the northerners to cheat and that nobody seemed to care that Charlie destroyed the ice rink. That has to have been $$$$$ to fix.
