Chicago Sun-Times -
The most accurate movie about campus life that I can remember.

Film.com -
A giddy delight, with Michael Douglas delivering what may be the most relaxed and inventive performance of his career, and Tobey Maguire and Robert Downey Jr. trailing not far behind.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
A terrific movie about middle-age malaise and a comedy of unusual wit and drollness.

|
Chicago Reader -
The casting of Michael Douglas against type as an over-the-hill novelist and writing professor is the sort of clever move that wins undeserved Oscars.

USA Today -
Droll mild amusement.
