The A.V. Club -
Martha Coolidge's bright, whimsical Real Genius can credit part of its substantial and richly deserved cult following to the fact that nothing has changed: Raunchy, lowbrow teen comedies are forever in vogue, and SDI is still an impossible, money-sucking political mirage.

Los Angeles Times -
It's a brisk, smart satirical comedy from the writers of "Police Academy" and the director of "Valley Girl," set in a Caltech-like institution for the whiz kids of the sciences. How refreshing it is to see young people depicted as having a capacity for thought as well as emotion.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Real Genius contains many pleasures, but one of the best is its conviction that the American campus contains life as we know it.

Washington Post -
Fabulously acted and written with zing and zong, it's one of the few enjoyable movies of the summer.

Variety -
What lifts the production above the run-of-the-mill is swift direction by Martha Coolidge, who has a firm grasp over the manic material.
