Reviews for Stealing Harvard
Top CriticWeird, then, how the cast play as if holding their breath for the pay cheque.

Top CriticIt's no-win stuff. It's not offensive enough to appeal to Green's (ever-decreasing) fan-base, nor witty enough to convince anyone else.
03/04/03
Top CriticNothing can survive the toxic unfunniness of Green.
03/25/03
Top CriticThis film tries so hard to be both charming and disgusting that it's almost painful to watch.
02/16/03
'Stealing Harvard is a weird "funny" that works...transmogrifying the film into a charming, moronic foray worth your time.'
09/23/02
Stick around for all of Stealing Harvard. It gets better.
09/13/02
Any movie unafraid to wilfully throw around the term 'bastards' can’t be too bad.
09/14/02
It even survives the usually damning presence of Tom Green, who is only mildly annoying rather than infuriating.
09/12/02
...all we want out of our comedies at times are just a few good laughs, and this one delivers more than a few.
09/10/02
As for the antics themselves, the early ones lack, sometimes loudly lacking. But like John's dumb-determination, the script keeps rubbing its two sticks together until something funny sparks. A weak B+.
09/11/02
Director Bruce McCulloch packs every scene with visual gags and his Kids in the Hall satiric touch is all over this movie.
09/13/02
The premise is weak and the execution is inept.
09/13/02
A shambling, incoherent story ... manages to abuse both Mr. Lee's good nature and his comic gift.
09/14/02
Top CriticWhile Stealing Harvard is far from a great movie, it’s Tom Green’s best so far.
09/12/02
'Stealing Harvard' robbed me of 82 valuable minutes I'll never get back.
09/14/02
It's difficult to imagine the process that produced such a script, but here's guessing that spray cheese and underarm noises played a crucial role.
09/13/02
Among the squandered supporting cast are Dennis Farina, Chris Penn, Megan Mullally, and Seymour Cassel.
02/26/07
The best way to hope for any chance of enjoying this film is by lowering your expectations. Then lower them a bit more.
