Plot Summary

Charlie Boyle, a science wiz, hockey lover, and all around genius, is tired of being friendless. It's bad enough that he's in college before he's 14, and he's helping a scientist who's in the midst of trying to defy gravity. And while doing so, he meets Claire Addison: a beautiful girl, daughter of one of the coaches of the Northern Lights, and also his tutor. So, in order to make his life exactly how he wants it, Charlie reinvents himself by taking on the image of a slacker and bad boy, "Chaz Anthony", and enrolls in the local Junior high. But juggling two lives is tough, even for a genius.

Trivia

* Close to the end of the movie Charlie says that the electricity reversed the polarization of the graviton, hence allowing them to defy gravity. However, in science opposites attract each other, and objects with the "same" polarization repel each other. So to make them defy gravity the electric current would actually have to make it a positive charge.

* Both Trevor Morgan and Charles Fleischer have starred in films executived produced by Steven Spielberg - "Jurassic Park III" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?".
