Product Description:
ALBERT EINSTEIN PLAYS MATCHMAKER FOR HIS EGGHEAD NIECE AND AN UNSCHOOLED AUTO MECHANIC.
Amazon.com:
I.Q. has all the elements of a classic romantic comedy. Certainly Meg Ryan has demonstrated she has the stuff for funny love with films such as When Harry Met Sally... and Sleepless in Seattle, and director Fred Schepisi's Roxanne ranks among top contemporary romantic comedies. Even though Tim Robbins received acclaim for dramatic work in Jacob's Ladder and The Shawshank Redemption, his early comedic work shouldn't be forgotten (well, maybe Howard the Duck, but not the hilarious Sure Thing). And Walter Matthau? No explanation needed.
Combine I.Q.'s talent with its fresh story and it charms. Garage mechanic Ed Walters (Robbins) is captivated at first glimpse by pretty, perky Catherine (Ryan), a gifted academic who lives with her uncle, Albert Einstein (a brilliant Matthau). Catherine is engaged to pretentious James Moreland (the oh-so-appropriate English actor and writer Stephen Fry). Catherine's early 1950s world is all bookish and brainy, even though she has aspirations toward the romantic (Moreland's idea of a honeymoon is the Belgian Congo with Pygmies; she longs for Hawaii). Einstein and his professor pals, played by Lou Jacobi, Gene Saks, and Joseph Maher, conspire to match their beloved Catherine with the sincere and smart (though not intellectual) Ed.
This is a sweet--but not saccharine--story about "engineering" the course of true love and the ironic triumph of heart over head. The topnotch performances (which also include Tony Shalhoub and Frank Whaley as fellow mechanics) really draw audiences into this winning movie. --N.F. Mendoza

This is the single most intelligent film that I have ever seen in my life - fusing intelligence, a breath of the Universe, the science of attraction with a brilliant and insightful dialogue from the world's top physicists. When the lowest common denominator in pop culture is often catered to via E! reality shows this has to be an almighty step forward in american movie making. I can't get over that America can wrap it's mind around the Einsteininian theories,immortality, life and it's complex destinies ... Read More

This lighthearted romantic comedy gets an extra boost from the cast who seem to be having a great time making this fun film. Matthau and his band of senior "brain-iacs" are so much fun we forget that Robbins and Ryan are the center of the story. Fortunately (for us)they're just as appealing and they are! This is a wonderful little screwball comedy with a nice love story which never gets too sappy......thank you film gods!

Exactly as described. I love truth in advertising and would gladly deal with this seller again.

Let's face it, most movies are becomming filled with trash. It's nearly impossible to find a good plot accompanied by clean, quality humor and acting. But despair no longer! IQ is a delightful film filled with quirky, clean fun, and outsdanding acting. I would rank it alongside movies like You've Got Mail and That Thing You Do. If you're in the mood for a romantic comedy, you've found the perfect one.

I was surfing one night and started watching this movie from the middle which is where I came in. I was so happy to see a totally family friendly movie that didn't play down to adults but can entertain almost everyone in the family that I looked to find it again on tv. After seeing it from the start I had to order it to add to my extensive collection of movies. You can't have a bad time watching, Tim Robbins, Meg Ryan, Walter Matthau and Tony Shaluob (forgive the miss spelling)plus many others. It is ... Read More
