I.Q.

DIRECTED BY: Fred Schepisi

REVIEWED: 01-19-95

Walter Matthau stars as Albert Einstein, a sort of Cyrano de Relativity who conspires to change Tim Robbins from auto mechanic to quantum mechanic in order to provoke the affections of Einstein's niece (Meg Ryan), a talented mathematician who has trouble solving equations of the heart. As likable as the leads are, the featherweight script doesn't give them much to work with; about the funniest thing anyone can think to do with Einstein is make him say "Yahoo!" And hasn't Ryan played a few absent-minded cuties too many? But everything's relative, so if you think the idea of being set up by a frizzy-haired professor sounds romantic, this could be your slice of pie.
