In my opinion, his is not the best of the acting performances, -- I would give that title to the actor who plays his male assistant -- but his character is believable and I don't believe it is easy to play a believable "mad" scientist. He adds depth to a character that could have been simply funny and trivial. This film is _Love Story_ modified for the '80s audience, funny at times, emotionally charged, and upbeat instead of depressing. I personally enjoyed it.
