I.Q. (1994)

Starring : Tim Robbins, Meg Ryan, Walter Matthau

Random Observations of I.Q.

1) Walter Matthau took about 10 seconds to research Albert Einstein for his role.

2) Meg Ryan's career was clearly almost over by this film.

2a) Her career has apparantley been almost over for 15 years.

It is this writer's opinion that any film combining Albert Einstein, historical fiction, and a love story is doomed for failure. I.Q. certainly proves my opinion correct. The film is remarkably forgettable throughout its entire 100 minute running time.

Despite the train-wreck amalgamation, I.Q. gives itself the potential to succeed by placing a gripping love story at its core. Unfortunately the film, also failed to provide a gripping love story . Moreover, Tim Robbins and Meg Ryan have the chemistry of a couple only mildly interested in each other.
