IMDB

Chevy Chase is an air traffic controller, who gets telekinetic powers when he gets toxic waste spilled on him. He is able to move objects with his mind, and the power quickly goes out of control.
This movie was really lame. The plot didn't really make much sense. He gets his power from toxic waste-- fine. He loses his power when he's struck by lightning; what? That didn't make any sense. Plus, toward the end he reconciles with his girlfriend and they go for a weekend at a friend's house and Chevy completely goes crazy because Dabney Coleman is hitting on his girlfriend. He acts like he's possessed by a demon, which doesn't really fit in with the rest of the movie.
Yeah, this was pretty bad and didn't really offer many laughs.

4/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
