“The Kid with the 200 I.Q.” (1983)
For the record, this was Scott’s painfully obscure reference in our latest episode.
Plot summary: A very intelligent teenager is sent to college where he meets his roommate, a popular jock. Therefore, he must learn to adapt to adult life, wild parties, and romance.
This was a very sweet movie, a precursor to “Little Man Tate” (1991) about a big-hearted kid out of place in the world.
