I.Q. (1994)

12/19/18 • 60 min

Diana's pick I.Q. (1994) hits all of the points on the romantic comedy cliché checklist like a well researched physics thesis. This is Polina's first time watching, but recognized so much of Princeton portrayed from when she grew up there. Fun fact: the movie theater in the film is the same one young Polina saw A Room with a View (episode 10).

A mechanic romances the mathematician niece of physicist Albert Einstein, with help from Einstein and his friends. Stars Tim Robbins, Meg Ryan, Walter Matthau, Lou Jacobi, Gene Saks, Joseph Maher, Stephen Fry, Tony Shalhoub, Frank Whaley, Charles Durning, and Keene Curtis. (from IMDb.com)

The book Polina mentioned is The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert: https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/books/the-signature-of-all-things/

Previous Episode

Roxanne (1987)

Polina counters Diana's Steve Martin movie from last episode with her pick Roxanne (1987). By the end, you will thoroughly know how she feels about Daryl Hannah's curly hair. Diana sings The Police within the first minute of the show.

In this modern take on Edmond Rostand's classic play "Cyrano de Bergerac," C. D. Bales (Steve Martin) is the witty, intelligent and brave fire chief of a small Pacific Northwest town who, due to the size of his enormous nose, declines to pursue the girl of his dreams, lovely Roxanne Kowalski (Daryl Hannah). Instead, when his shy underling Chris McConnell (Rick Rossovich) becomes smitten with Roxanne, Bales feeds the handsome young man the words of love to win her heart. Also stars Shelley Duvall, John Kapelos, Fred Willard, Max Alexander, Michael J. Pollard, Steve Mittleman, Damon Wayans, Matt Lattanzi, Shandra Beri, Jean Sincere, Thom Curley, Ritch Shydner, and Kevin Nealon. (from Fandango.com and Wikipedia.org)
