The movie "ZAPPED" validated that Scott Baio is not a star. Although he has aged gracefully, this movie is strong evidence that male stars in the '80s did not require talent to be hired as talent. My intention is not to castrate the joy from my heart that this film brought into my pre-pubescent eyes. Rather, I encourage those that require a randomly awful comedy to watch this film, as it offers the audience a rare opportunity to shake his/her head in wonderment on how these individuals were ever labeled as worthy of a feature film.

If you were born in the 80s or a huge fan of the decade, "Zapped" is one of those movies that you could relate to, whether you were the jock, geek, reporter or nice guy. Simply put, this is a must have to add to your retro DVD collection.
Scott Baio and Willie Aames (from TV's Charles in Charge) play best buds Barney and Peyton who get into anything and everything after a freak lab accident causes Barney to become the Telekinetic Kid, wreaking havoc wherever he goes and the ensuing comedy that follows.
Since I was only 7 when this movie first came out, I didn't catch it until I was about 12; boy, I never knew how much fun high school would/could become. All in all, a great testament to my HS days. Definite 2 thumbs up!!!
