IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

bkoganbing There was nothing so terribly great about the first Zapped movie, certainly nothing that warranted inflicting a sequel on the American movie going public. But who knows what the producers thought in making another film. I can't believe there was a great demand for a sequel.All the tumult from the Carrie like prom night that ended the first Zapped movie has died down. It's some eight years later and a whole new group of kids is at Emerson High School. A new misfit of a kid in Todd Eric Andrews comes to town. After that it's the usual angst as the various cliques in the school shun him and he joins the science club where they find in the lab where Scott Baio accidentally discovered that telekinesis formula. It's seems like he hid a stash of it behind the Albert Einstein picture in a hole in the wall. When Todd imbibes, the high school world becomes his.Of course Todd's got eyes for the head cheerleader Maria McCann even though Kelli Williams of the science club really digs him. Maria's property of Reed Rudy the head jock at the school and he and Todd keep having it out. Of course Reed's overmatched from the gitgo with that telekinesis thing Todd's got going for him.The climax at the homecoming was really dumb. Rudy frames the science club and gets their space for his exclusive fraternity and then further tries to humiliate them at the homecoming. But putting them in charge of the food? Dumb, Dumberer, Dumbest, that's just begging for payback. What a MAROON.It's funny like the first Zapped in a juvenile sort of way and its for them I'd recommend it.

Monkasi I'm glad I saw this movie on late-night TV rather than renting it for four bucks on video, because I got screwed big time. Why weren't the characters as funny and outrageous as they were in the 1982 original? More to the point, where was the SEX? The Scott Baio movie fairly dripped with prurient appeal. I mean, they had an entire prom full of scantily-clad people running around; why didn't they have a prom scene this time? And why was this movie so gosh darn wholesome? You have to be between the ages of 13 and 18 to fully appreciate it, and I think I was about 20 when I saw it. There's hardly any profanity, and the writers must have thought that people would find jokes about the word "wiener" daring and hilarious. Who thought up this sequel, a roomful of second graders? It was direct-to-video, for God's sake! There should have been MORE racy material, not less! It should have been worthy of an R rating, but instead they made it tantamount to a PG-13. I was very disappointed with ZAPPED AGAIN! Watch it for the laughs, but not so much for the flesh.

Stone-31 This film was the swansong of the dying 80s. Not only did it fail to deliver, it showed how low Linda Blair (of "The Exorcists" fame) and Karen Black ("Five Easy Pieces") sank.I don't blame the actors or actresses, or, for that matter, the director. The fault belongs to the writer (who should have known better) and to the producers. The problem with Hollywood is that it can't produce anything good anymore; if you want something like the original "Zapped!", just see "Zapped!"The plot is hackneyed. It's good, I suppose, if you're bored and it's a Friday evening with nothing better to do, and you happen to be watching Joe Bob Briggs.

Robert-53 Don't waste your precious time on this unless the video stores pays YOU money--and quite a lot to sit thru this TURKEY. Apparently Willie Aames and Scott Baio from the original decided not to make any bigger fools of themselves for a second time, so the viewer gets cheap-o lookalikes this time around to try and catch any appeal they might have had. And Linda Blair looks like she'll take any role dropped in her lap....sad. The videos all cost the same.....so don't waste your life with this deplorable waste of videotape.
