Memorable, crazy movie

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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.

I loved the original Zapped! with Scott Baio and Willie Aames. So when I first heard there was a sequel, I was shocked. I thought this is gonna stink. However, seeing it on cable, I actually enjoyed it. I like how they have Ms. Burnhart now the principal of the school where Barney first used his powers. Also the new fresh cast (at the time) delievered some B-moviesque performances. And Linda Blair??? Ummm...I would've liked to see Heather Thomas reprise that role but it's all sheer out fun. The song at the end is too laughable...ahhh...B-movies like this...so much fun and cheese to enjoy!!!

It's not all that awful ... it's actually sort of fun.Yes, it's completely formula. Yes, it's total cheese. That's what everyone expects, though. It's light, it's funny, and it's got just a smattering of naked. Just what you need for 2 in the morning.Lighten up.AK

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.
