CommentsXp Best movie ever!

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

movieman_kev While mucking around on the school computer trying to change his grades, geeky Howard Duckell, receives a zap that imbues him with mind-controlling powers. Which he uses to embarrass his sister, school bully, and help his equally dorky friend out. He also has to deal with a scientist who's trying to take the powers away from him and get the girl he's interested in without using said powers. None of the above are particular funny in any sense. Furthermore, the film that this seems to want to emulate "Zapped" is endlessly better so watch that movie instead.Eye Candy: Cecilia Bergqvist gets topless; Stacy Burke, Brandy Miller, & Darby O'Riley provide the T&A; Sandy Wasko shows everything (Summer Altice & Cindy Campbell get topless in the DVD deleted scenes) DVD Extras: Director's Commentary; slide-show gallery; 23 deleted & extended scenes (with nudity); Promotional trailer for this film; and Trailer for "the Hazing"Easter Egg: In the extras menu Highlight the teacher's panties and click on them for a short clip of Amy Brasette (no nudity)

dechha1981 It's about time they made more movies like this. I don't know about you but I'm sick of horror movies with no nudity. Paris Hilton was doing a striptease while camping near a town run by a family of serial killers and there STILL wasn't any nudity! Bloody hell! There, got that off my chest. Now...This movie is so similar to the old 80's teen sex comedies that you almost forget it wasn't made in the 80's until you see/hear a few modern references. They even used Sound FX from "Zapped".The main character in this movie possesses the ability to both read minds and to control other people's minds. Anything from simply making them think about something to making them fart to forcing them to adopt a different personality.

Randle Flagg Pretty Cool is basically a homage to films like Weird Science and Zapped!, wrapped up in a parody of early Tom Cruise films, like Risky Business and Color of Money. It follows the adventures of a lovable loser who meets the girl of his dreams and then discovers he has to go to summer school and won't have time to try to get to know her. Deciding to break into the school's computer to change his grades (shades of WarGames there, another eighties classic), he inadvertently receives a transmission from a secret lab in Europe, giving him awesome mental powers.Discovering he can read minds as well as control them, our hero has some juvenile fun at first, giving us some nice T&A. But his escapades threaten his relationship with his dream girl, and he's determined to win her without using his powers on her. Then there's the mysterious woman from the lab out to track down whoever has the power, her thought transference necklace, and a host of other complications. There's a lot going on in this movie, and while it doesn't all make sense necessarily, the movie isn't meant to be taken very seriously anyway.Since the main character is basically a decent guy, most of the film's mischief comes from his unscrupulous best friend, who cackles maniacally at the prospect of all the fun to be had with the powers. He ends up in over his head a lot of the time, but it leads to some very funny situations. The film is basically a boy meets girl affair with some nice T&A and a good deal of slapstick humor. It's not the greatest story ever told by any stretch, but it's definitely better than average for the straight to video market. Worth a rental at the least.

shawn-laasch It's impossible for me to remember a worse movie than this. I fast-forwarded the stupidest parts of the movie, but the rest was still just awful. Plain awful. Awful and stupid.The sex scenes were not interesting or compelling. The supposedly funny scenes were not.The fact that it was re-cut and re-released under a completely different name should give you a clue as to the movie's worth.The fact that they put the actor who voices the Chief on Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex in stockings and a garter just makes me want to cry.Avoid this movie at all costs. You will never regain any time wasted watching it.
