Reviews

Philadelphia Inquirer -
While Stealing Harvard may be a chucklehead comedy, Lee is oddly touching and funny. Mostly because, unlike Green, he's not aggressively trying to make us laugh.

|
The New York Times -
Together, Mr. Lee and Mr. Green have a daft comic energy, and they are assisted by game performances from the rest of the cast.

|
Baltimore Sun -
Like Adam Sandler's "Mr. Deeds," this is a hybrid, hipster-cornball movie that wants to celebrate common folk but unapologetically uses words like "trailer trash" to describe them.

New York Post -
Stinks even by the standards of late summer movie garbage.

New York Daily News -
The question is, how did the producers get the amiable, talented Jason Lee to Boogie Board down the toilet with (Green)?
