Summary: wonderful
Review: I saw this movie many years ago and it just kind of stuck with me. I thought this was one of the best romantic comedies I have ever seen. The acting was wonderful and the script was marvelous. All in all, I would add it to your collection. This is one of those movies that people will still love well into the future.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's Ok
Review: I thought this movie is Ok. I thought it was weird with Albert Enistin being her uncle. And the story was a little weird. But becides that I thought it was ok.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lovely movie, barebones DVD
Review: I've always quite loved this movie. All the main actors shine and create believable nutty characters. The plot, while given an Einstein twist, is pretty standard charming romantic comedy fare.

The DVD solely features a widescreen Dolby 5.1 version of the film, and doesn't even bother including a theatrical trailer. It's not a cult hit, so it's not terribly unexpected that great love wasn't lavished upon the DVD production. My one complaint would be that the video transfer was evidently done from a used print. This is particularly evident during the title cards, where the primary colors used for the background show fairly clearly the various flecks of dirt or hair that you'd expect to see on a film print. This is not the end of the world, and I am overjoyed to have this movie on DVD. But the video transfer would have been fantastic (it really is sharp) without these occasional dirty print issues.

All in all, I'm glad to add this movie to my DVD collection, and I would happily recommend this movie to anyone else interested in romantic comedies.

Summary: Totally awesome
Review: I've seen this movie quite alot now, and I enjoy every single time. Maby it's because I've always found Meg Ryan's smile to be the best in hollywood...That's one reason for it. Another reason is that it is a great movie.

I'll recommend it to everybody who wants a clean fun movie, for all ages!

Finally, if it was possible to give more stars than 5, it would have gotten more!

Summary: Cute, but not too much replay value...
Review: IQ is a cute romantic comedy... featuring Einstein... It's a little offbeat sometimes (i.e. Catherine's (Meg Ryan) fiancee and his work) and it drags on slowly during some parts, but overall it's a cute movie. Meg Ryan has her classic cute, short blonde hair cut and, as she is supposed to be related to Einstein, their hairdos match. Tim Robbins as Ed Walters is very sweet in this movie, struck by Catherine's beauty the moment he sees her, we get a bit of that "love at first sight" hollywood fun, which is the main point of this movie... as Einstein gets into... I said it was quirky!

Truly, watching Walter Matthau as Albert Einstein is one of the reasons I watch this movie if I see it on on TV. He really was a comedic genius.

I don't own this movie, they play it enough on TV, and it doesn't have that constant reply value that I look for when I spend my money a DVD. But it is a cute movie to watch a few times, I'll give it that.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Genius or Dumb Blonde? You Decide!
Review: Likable story of Albert Einstein (convincingly played by the late Walter Matthau) playing "Cupid" for his beautiful young niece (the ever sweet Meg Ryan) and a car mechanic (Tim Robbins) who pretends to be the next "Einstein" to impress Ryan, who seems to be in search of a very smart husband, disregarding all other aspects. -- The authentic 1950s small-town setting is cute, but the story is so utterly far-fetched that not even a million to one could describe the odds of these events actually happening. The "fuddy duddy team" of grandpa pals act as "council of fairy godmothers" to ensure that two remote stars in the universe eventually meet. -- I liked the actors, but was very disappointed in the thin plot. "You've Got Mail" suddenly seems absolutely believable (NOT!).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LOVELY LOVE STORY WITH A LOTTA LOVE :)

Summary: Wahoo
Review: Maybe God does not play dice with the universe. However Catherine's uncle, Albert Einstein (Walter Matthau) does. And the results are hilarious. Usually in a movie like this, the three collages of Einstein would just be fillers or comic relief. However in "I.Q." they are not only an interracial part of the movie, but are fun to be with on their own. "Watch out for gravity, it's a killer"

I could see that Ed Walters (Tim Robbins) could pull off the double identity of being both a garage mechanic and a closet genius. He also read a lot of items about science.

You can guess the outcome before the movie starts. The fun is in seeing how they get there. And how do you outwit "The Rat Man?"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Probably the best attempt to revive screwball comedy lately
Review: Meg Ryan meets Tim Robbins and Einstein plays the matchmaker, abhorring the all so straight and boring professor played by the never than excellent Stephen Fry. The cast alone is enough to glue you to the screen, even though the remodelling of Tim Robbins is far from convincing and takes quite a bit of the film, as does Meg's infatuation with the new "top I.Q."
This being a good old fashioned romantic comedy love triumphs, of course - and why should that be such a terrible thing?
