Storyline
Grady (Michael Douglas) is a 50-ish English professor who hasn't had a thing published in years -- not since he wrote his award winning "Great American Novel" 7 years ago. This weekend proves even worse than he could imagine as he finds himself reeling from one misadventure to another in the company of a new wonder boy author.

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

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.
