Trivia
The lines spoken by Walter Matthau as Einstein, "I'd rather be an optimist and a fool than a pessimist and right," "Time is an illusion," and "God does not play dice," are all actual Albert Einstein quotations.

Goofs
Ed checks the wrong answers for several questions in the I.Q. test.

Quotes
Albert Einstein: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Ed Walters: Well what would be the odds of that happening?

Crazy credits
Several characters' names are given incorrectly in the credits; Stephen Fry's character is spelled "James Morland" without the E, Lou Jacobi's character Kurt Gödel is spelled with no umlaut over the O, and Tony Shalhoub's character is titled "Bob Watters," not Bob Rosetti as given throughout the film.

Flirtatious piece of fluff

A genial romantic comedy, "I.Q" is a flirtatious piece of fluff in which an auto mechanic woos the educated daughter of ol' E=MC2 himself, Albert Einstein. No guffaw inducer, but very pleasant fare given a considerable boost by its cast, most notably Matthau who is very good indeed as Mr. Einstein.
