| | Availability:
Usually ships in 1 business days | | | He's Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell), just a regular-guy college student at Medfield College--until one fateful night he is accidentally transformed into a human computer. His newfound genius makes him an overnight sensation when he gets all the answers right on a college quiz show. This instant celebrity status also brings an instant massive ego, which threatens his friendships as well as his safety. Caught up between battling college deans (Joe Flynn and Alan Hewitt) and a dangerous mobster (Cesar Romero), Dexter soon learns friends are more valuable than money. This movie, released in 1970, is a true romp with silly situations and madcap misadventures. The size of the computer itself is now good for a sight gag. It's likable but goofy, with no real weight. A fun, innocent diversion that the whole family can look and laugh at, each for different reasons. Did people really dress like that? --Peggy Maltby-Etra | | | |

 Not as much fun as Flubber Jun 07, 2008
We've been watching a lot of these old Disney live-action movies for family movie night, and we LOVED "Flubber" and "Son of Flubber," but this one was a bit too advanced for my 8YO son, and a bit too dull for the adults. Still, it was fun to see Kurt Russell at an early age.
 Great Fun!! Dec 30, 2007
The movie is really funny, and even though the story is highly improbable, it is enjoyable.
another great nostalgia Jan 10, 2007
this movie is from the same triology of the advantures of Dexter Railly
and i loved it very much..all the three of them...
FUN Movie...Silly, but FUN! Jan 03, 2007
This movie is typical of the live-action Disney fare from the 60s and 70s. Harmless fun based on a silly premise. Kurt Russell was always so fun to watch in his Disney movies. This is the type of movie that was on Sunday nights when I was a kid and afterwards on various local stations and finally on the new Disney Channel before they started original programming and adding other shows of a dubious (but more "hip") nature. If you like silly fun for the whole family, check out this title or any other family movie that features Kurt Russell, Tommy Kirk, Fred MacMurray, Joe Flynn, Ken Berry, Keenan Wynn & Ed Wynn, Hayley Mills, Jim Dale, Dean Jones, Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Robert Morse, Phil Silvers, or Mickey Rooney. You won't be disappointed!!!

I happen to think this is a fine film May 22, 2006
I don't know why DJ Honeybear is getting all pushed out of shape. I happen to think this DVD is fine. If he doesn't want to pay some cash for the DVD, don't buy it. But don't insist the VHS tape is better, just because it came out first. That's not the fault of the DVD player, or the DVD.
Sounds like Mr. Honeybear needs to slow down on the ho-ho's and ding dong's and try to remember the enjoyment he once had with these classic Disney movies.
