| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe Walt Disney Production family picture is as pedestrian as its title. |
| The New York TimesRoger GreenspunThis "Computer" isn't I.B.M.'s kind but it's homey, lovable, as exciting as porridge and as antiseptic and predictable as any homey, half-hour TV family show. |
| User ReviewThomas DI like the searies of move with Kirt in college and how the spy on the dean. |
| User Reviewmister g:fresh: [CENTER]This movie has perfect humor for a family to enjoy.[/CENTER] |
| User ReviewLindalol this movie was really funny because of just how campy it is. Seeing Kurt Russell as a Kid was interesting as well |
| User ReviewHaleyMy favorite film from Disney starring Kurt Russell. |
| User ReviewSonya D60's Classic. It's great to see how far we went into technology. The kids can still enjoy the simple moral lessons. |
| User ReviewJames GThis is one of the best cheesy Disney movies and it's super geeky too! |
| User ReviewSarah HA fun movie that I really enjoyed. Mind you it is not a laugh out loud comedy, but it is a comedy that the entire family could watch together. This is a movie that the one I love remembers watching years ago. I was happy that he shared it with me. |
| User ReviewMichael BPart of the Disney Medfield College series, and a great look at an early Kurt Russel. Caesar Romero as the villain is a hoot. |
