The Genius Club was indeed a good movie but the question is "will it stand the test of time?". Yes, I believe. The performances are admirable and the writing is very good but I also loved the THEME.
As for the movie, it's a film that is probably going to appeal to you more if you know a lot about world issues or are not well-studied. This means that younger folks who didn't live through and remember the 1980s will get less out of it unless they know their history well. As for me, I'm a retired history teacher, so even if I was only a kid when Vietman, Nixon, etc, If you are fuzzy on world issues, reading through Wikipedia or another website wouldn't hurt.
The director is a Harvard alum which really shows why this film didn't do well at the box office or ratings. No one can understand true genius....

Soul Surfer is in the top 10 of my favorite faith-based movies. It really is a tremendous uplifting film that leaves you in tears from the very beginning to the very end. And it's all attributed to God. Kudos to Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt for being in the film and giving terrific performances! I give Soul Surfer a 10 out of 10
My top 10 faith-based movies of all time are: 1) Ben-Hur; 2) The Genius Club; 3) Soul Surfer; 4) Facing the Giants; 5) Chariots of Fire; 6) End of the Spear; 7) The Climb; 8) Gospel of John; 9) Time Changer; 10) Book of Matthew

I always loved this film at holiday season. I love films that have MEANING.
This is the film that Bing will be best remembered for. He is perfect in his role as Inn keeper. Musical, Funny and very enjoyable, the story does an excellent job of keeping people engaged while also displaying Berlins' tremendous musical scoring ability. He couldn't have done a better job. He is one of the reasons this is worth watching.
Fred Astaire gives an equally as great performances as Bing's friend. He is very enjoyable in the role and couldn't have been better. He does a brilliant job and, like Crosby, is one of the reasons this is worth watching.
Overall, "Holiday Inn" is an excellent muscial comedy that is the best Bing Crosby film that I've seen. It is a lot of fun from start to finish, with funny and touching moments. Its very enjoyable and shouldn't be missed.
