Meg Ryan exudes boffin next door while Tim Robbins combines sensitivity with street savvy and manages to make a science lecture sound like a love sonnet.

Rated: 4/5

The Virginian-Pilot

Ryan and Robbins are miscast in that they both are kooky stars and the script calls for opposites that attract. The scheming is too heavy-handed to be really funny.

Rated: 2.5/4

This movie is about love. When he changed his mind about ignoring me, he managed to get engaged to his girlfriend. She was able to get back on her side through IQ. It is an interesting and exciting movie.
