    If you liked "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" and "Now You See Him, Now You Don't" then you'll like this one. This is another episode in the on-going saga of Dexter Riley. Dexter is a VERY typical college kid who just happens to find himself in the right place (or the wrong place) at the right time to acquire temporary powers that make him a celebrity for a couple days at a time throughout the series. This time he happens upon a formula that makes him incredibly strong. It's the same old story of "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes" only with Brawn instead of Brains. This was part of the golden age of Disney. When they used to make movies that were fun to watch. If you're looking for a movie with great cinematography or great special effects, this is not your movie, but if you're looking for something light and fun go give this one a try.

    This was a clean, enjoyable film, much like The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. However, it moved very slowly and Kurt Russell was not even in almost half of the movie. My wife and I did not like it as much as the original, though being a sequel, we were not surprised.

    My kids loved this as much as i did in 1975. Every family should watch these movies.
