Synopsis

Zapped Again! (1990) stars Todd Eric Andrews in a low‑budget teen sex‑comedy that follows a new generation of high‑school misfits navigating crushes, pranks and overblown adolescent fantasies. Presented as a loose sequel to 1982’s Zapped!, the film leans heavily on broad slapstick, raunchy gags and predictable romantic-entanglement beats rather than nuanced storytelling. Throughout its runtime, Zapped Again! sells itself on comedic set pieces and cheeky scenarios aimed at a youthful audience familiar with playground rivalries and locker‑room bravado. Production values and performances reflect the picture’s modest scope, and the tone alternates between earnest attempts at teen humor and moments of cringe. Fans of late‑80s/early‑90s teen comedies may find nostalgic or camp appeal in its uncomplicated approach, while viewers looking for fresh jokes or sophisticated characterization will likely be disappointed.

Reviews

Critical reception for Zapped Again! was overwhelmingly negative. On Rotten Tomatoes the film is listed with a 0% Tomatometer score, reflecting uniformly poor critical responses, and IMDb records a user rating of "4.3/10," indicating generally unfavorable audience reactions. Metacritic does not list a mainstream critic score for the title. Reviewers have faulted the movie for relying on tired teen‑comedy tropes, thin plotting and juvenile humor that fails to land. Common criticisms note the film’s one‑note jokes, uneven pacing and low production values, which together give the picture a disposable, direct‑to‑video feel rather than the sharper comedic timing needed for successful sex‑comedy fare. That said, not all reactions are absolute dismissal: a subset of viewers and retrospective commentators treat Zapped Again! as an example of so‑bad‑it’s‑good camp, praising the movie’s earnestness and period flavor even while acknowledging its flaws. In short, the film is broadly regarded by critics as a weak entry in the teen comedy genre—Rotten Tomatoes records 0% and IMDb’s 4.3/10 mirrors the prevailing audience ambivalence—while a minority of viewers value it for nostalgic kitsch rather than cinematic merit.
