americanpastorfifth Usually when a film gets made about world issues, the resulting movie tends to be overtly sensational and at best remotely connected to what really happened.Instead what we have is a well argued thesis on the possibly solving the world's problems. Amazing concept. Brilliant and courageous all the way. While there are some very intense scenes, the director takes a somewhat unexpected approach on the subject. All of the world's problems take place pretty early on in the movie, with the bulk of the story centering on the geniuses and their characters - wonderful storytelling.Some people may find themselves disappointed by this epic if they go in expecting the normal Hollywood fare. In a perfect society, this would have won the Oscar, not another Eastwood or Spielberg picture

melissa_bell This film was ignored by critics when it was first released, and to this day, I have absolutely no idea why.One critic from LA Weekly apparently got the message and knew it was a great movie.Perhaps its because it discussed God too much. This is the most important question to mankind, don't you think? I'm not going to go too much into the story as many others have, but the performance of Stephen Baldwin was fantastic. Never knew he could act like this - not sure why his performance wasn't singled out, which just further goes to show the naivety of the critics.Genius Club is worthy of your time, and I am not surprised that people are finally discovering it and realising that its not the failure that critics would have you believe.

shirley_cox I've always thought Genius Club would make a great Shakesperean play; you could alter the modern elements and still have created a buzz 400 years ago in suburban England. Indeed, the plot is similar to Hamlet's, in that they both have characters we root for who create zany plans than end up spinning wildly out of control into solving world issues. Many people seem to like Genius Club for its humorous and intellectual qualities, its characterization of the world culture and Tom Sizemore - not me. I love Genius Club for its brilliant writing, its tragic musical score, its tragic plot, its ignorance of political correctness (how many movies can you remember when the only two minority characters were both revealed to be creeps). I want to draw attention to an overlooked reason why the film works so well - how well the music suits the visuals in this movie

kayreffner The movie was directed fairly well and all he actors were very good at their roles, however i thought the ending was a twist and wasn't easily expected because of how the movie was going. Most of the movie was predictable but it's the kind of predictable that you want to keep watching because of how the movie flows and brings you into it. I think this movie is great for emotional people. like i said it brings you into the story and the ending credits are pretty cool also. I heard a few people cry at parts of this movies and many people clapped.I think most people will enjoy watching it but only emotional people could really connect to it.This movie really shows the importance of faith and support. If u have a strong family backing n have full faith in yourself then nothing's impossible. It gives u that extra bit of encouragement when u just need to go and push your limits a little more.-kykyd
