Rating: Summary: Good Movie with Lots of Laughs Review: This movie is hilarious. Don't expect to see any Oscar nominated performances, though. It's just a movie to sit back and enjoy. Along the lines of Dumb and Dumber. Tom Green and Jason Lee work well together, and Green's lack of acting skills push this film over the top. Don't listen to people who did not like it. They went into this movie knowing they were going to see stupidity, and therefore hated it before it even started rolling. They did not try and appreciate the film for what it is: Great comedy.
Rating: Summary: Hated it! Sorry! Review: This movie is so incredibly boring and not funny by any means! Go back and rewrite the script because this movie goes nowhere. Why waste my time on this?
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: This movie was hilarious. The only reason I wen to see it was because Bruce McCulloch directed. I thought Tom Green was totally gonna ruin the film but suprisingly he was quite good in it. And Bruce is in it for like a minute, I was so suprised I almost stopped breathing!! Amazing film, even if Bruce hadn't directed it I still would have loved it!...
Rating: Summary: Very Funny Review: This Movies Freaking Funny. Need I Say More. It's The Best Movie Ever.
Rating: Summary: I enjoyed it. Review: This was a low expectation for me. I have seen Tom Green's other films. All of them, actually. It's a bit like watching a train wreck. I just can't avert my eyes. But, while most of the other movies only fed my inner 'angry high-schooler' , this one left me feeling much better. If it weren't for the VERY overused plot idea, this movie would be perfect. Perfect for what it is. And, what it is is a love story with Tom Green hanging around the background not only to remind us that love is blind, but that it can also be pretty stupid. He does his job so well in this movie. This is a very watchable flick for the adult crowd. Tuck the kids into bed. Unless you want to explain why a lonely old man likes to dress up prowlers like his deceased wife. UUUGHHHH. Dennis Farina in a dress is not a pretty sight. Some really outlandish and hilarious moments in this film cause it to stand out like classic slapstick at its' best. There's one particular scene where Tom Green is throwing chairs against an unbreakable window. Over and over he tries to break through. I honestly kept imagining a young Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton in a silent film doing the very same thing. I think anyone with a sense of humor between the ages of 14-35 (preferrably male) will enjoy this movie a lot.
Rating: Summary: Definitely not original, but it IS kind of funny Review: What can I say? This is another one of those funny-guy movies about a man who's in a desperate plight and needs to get out. The man is John Plummer, played by Jason Lee. And, true to form, there's a stupid, yet funny, sidekick in the form of Tom Green. Yes, this plot has been done over and over and over the last few years, and still it is being recycled. But, there is one thing which redeems Stealing Harvard--it's actually kind of funny. This movie will not have you on the floor laughing, but there are a few very funny parts in it. Jason Lee gives an excellent performance, and Tom Green actually shows that he can act a milder part than we're used to seeing him in. If you like movies like 'Road Trip,' 'Orange County,' or 'Van Wilder,' this one's worth a shot. Check it out. Who knows, it may be good for a few laughs.
Rating: Summary: Likeable Comedy with a Good Comedic Cast. Review: When a Good-Hearted young man (Jason lee) did Promise one day to his Niece (Tammy Blanchard) that he would Pay for his Niece to go to College but When that Day comes & when his Niece does goes to College after all but She needs nearly-$30,000 to go. He cannot use the Money, which he saved for his future Wife (Leslie Mann) to buy, their future home. But when He takes Bad Advice from his Strange Buddy (Tom Green) to steal the money, he needs & takes his advice. But when He & his Buddy land so much Trouble, which is Out of Control, it gets Harder, each time. Directed by Bruce McCulloch (Dog Park, Superstar) made an Amusing Comedy, which it`s starts as a Odd Ball film early on. McCulloch is Best Known as One of the Group from Comedy Canadian Gang-Kids in the Hall, whic he also appears in a Cameo near the end as a Lawyer. Lee & Green give likeable Performances. But the film, Best Moments belong to T.V.`s Six Feet Under-Richard Jenkins as a Strange Judge. Dennis Farina & Megan Mullally are also in this film, which they give funny supporting performances. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer & an clean-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD Extras are Trailer & Deleted Scenes (also the Original Ending). It`s not the greatest Comedy out-there but it`s worth watching & those Who wants to see a Change of Pace role from Green. Grade:B+.
Rating: Summary: It wasn't as bad as I predicted it would be Review: When I saw the previews for this movie, I thought man I don't think I want waste my time with this. However, my mother bought the movie and I thought I would try to watch it. The movie was pretty stupid as I expected, but there was really hilarous scenes in the movie. I thought the movie would have a good amount of gross out humor in it such Tom Green was in this. However, there isn't one gross scene in the movie, unless you want to consider spooning with old guy nasty. Jason Lee is John who at one time promised his niece who did horrible in a spelling bee tried to comfort her by saying that if she got into college, he'd pay for it. Unforunately for John, his comments were videotaped and his niece got accepted into Harvard. He needed about 30,000. The money he had was going into a new home for he and his wife. John was going to many people for help, but the only person who tries to help him is Duff. However, Duff gets him in deeper water than he could ever imagine. In Duff's ideas, John gets shot at, spoons with a judge that ends up getting him out of trouble in the end of the movie, and has a criminal record that doom a person for life. I believe that John got to steal some money from his wife's dad to pay for the tuition. The scenes that I thought were funny was when they tried to rob the liquor store with toy guns that were spray painted to look like real ones, the worker ended up having a real gun and made them drop the money and guns, but the gun was stuck to john's hand. Another scene i liked was when duff and john were arguing John grab Duff and ram his head into the hood of their getaway car about 10 times until the cops showed up. I would only recommend this if you enjoy silly, obnoxious slapstick comedy without some gross out humor.
Rating: Summary: Tom Green never breaks out into complete weirdness Review: When watching this film, I expected Tom Green to act like he did in Freddy Got Fingered, a movie that I actually enjoyed. He seems to hold back, which drags the whole movie into a boring state. There are funny scenes, like the man who forces other men to spoon with him and concludes "in case you're wondering, I'm not gay." Jason Lee is funnier in films directed by Kevin Smith, but I really expected more since this film was directed by Bruce McCullouch of Kids in the Hall fame. The only good he does is his brief cameo as Lee's unexperienced, negative attorney. The DVD comes with numerous trailers from other [...] movies released by Revolution Films, and some deleted scenes.
Rating: Summary: Lack of Green..... Review: Would have been WAY better film if they had given Tom Green's character more time but still manages to provide a good laugh on the spray painted holdup scene.
