Haha! That reminds me of another laser-themed movie... "Spies Like Us" Pretty decent flick. (Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase are usually a winning combination in my book.)
Trust me, it's worth renting. It's a geek's movie from the 1980's. Just ignore the part about the 5 megawatt laser that is about the size of a microwave oven. The rest of the movie is pretty cool. (Classic, even.)Nope, never saw Real Genius.
