Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

In Stealing Harvard, the charming Jason Lee (Chasing Amy, Almost Famous) wastes his talent playing John, a nice guy who once rashly promised his niece that he would pay for her college education. Now she's been accepted into Harvard, and though John has just the right amount of money in the bank, that money is meant to buy a house for himself and his fiancée Elaine (Leslie Mann, Big Daddy). Afraid of disappointing his niece, John enlists his friend Duff (Tom Green, Freddy Got Fingered, Road Trip) on a spree of inane criminal escapades that go wrong. Lee is an engaging actor, but he can't make the half-baked gags of Stealing Harvard funny. Similarly wasted are Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Dennis Farina (Out of Sight, Snatch), Chris Penn (Reservoir Dogs, Short Cuts), and others. --Bret Fetzer

2.0 out of 5 stars Tom Green was occasionally funny., April 26, 2003
By Ryan Cragun (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
Summary:
John Plummer (Jason Lee (I)) lives a kind of doldrum life as an assistant manager of a home medical supply store. He's dating the owner's (Dennis Farina) daughter, Elaine Warner (Leslie Mann), and they are planning on getting married. They had decided to wait to get married until they had saved up enough to put a down payment on a house. The movie begins with them realizing that they have finally saved up enough money. There's just one problem, John promised his niece, Noreen Plummer (Tammy Blanchard), that if she got in to college he would pay for it. Well, she got into Harvard and now she needs the money - the exact amount that he had saved up. John is stuck with a decision but can't take away his wife's dreams, so he turns to an old friend to help him come up with the money, Walter 'Duff' Duffy (Tom Green (III)). Duff comes up with several illegal plans for getting the money, each getting them further into trouble with the law. Eventually all of the plans catch up to them and they have to deal with the chaos they have been causing and they still don't have the money.

My Comments:
The movie was occasionally funny, but only occasionally. The plot was pretty good and the story wasn't terrible, but it wasn't really memorable. The major problem with the movie was that it was supposed to be funny, but it wasn't. Jason Lee tries, and some of the situations are a bit humorous - specifically the repeated instances of the main characters having to dress up as women for the Honorable Emmett Cook (Richard Jenkins (I)) - but the best it does is get an occasional chuckle.

This movie seemed to receive a lot of hype, and, frankly, I thought it was going to be more about actually going to college. But college and college life really have very little to do with it.

Overall, this movie didn't live up to the hype it received. It may be kind of funny if you're really bored and need something to do on a Friday night with friends. Otherwise, not worth your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Very Memorable!, October 3, 2002
By Ed Mich "Ed" (New York) - See all my reviews
I knew Stealing Harvard would be really funny just because I had a gut feeling.It's something that you can't really explain.Jason Lee who is a great actor was hilarious and Tom Green-well Tom Green is a little weird.I never liked Tom Green but he just has a really funny voice making the humor he tries to make funny just the way he talks and acts...Stealing Harvard could possibly be one of the funniest movies that have ever been made.

The supporting cast makes a big difference.Dennis Farina is very funny...In this movie he steals the show.Seymour Cassel was also very funny.I have only seen him in The Royal Tenenbaums but this was anthor good role that he played.Leslie Mann from George of the Jungle also portrayed her character well.And last Megan Mullony from Will and Grace had to be another one of the funniest cast members in the movie.

The movie is about John Plummer who lives with his girlfriend Elaine Warner and works for her father Mr Warner.When Elaine tells John that they finally rasied enough money to buy there dream house they prepare for there wedding.When John goes to his sister Patty's house he learns that his neice Noreen got accepted into Harvard and Patty reminds John of the promise he made to his neice that if she ever got into college he would pay for it.The problem is...the tution is around 30,000 which is the amount of money John and Elaine saved up to buy there house.John then turns to the master planner....Walter "Duff" Duffy to come up with a plan.Duff tells John that crimials make money and they decide to plan a theft of a grocery store.

...The movie is very funny and just has that charm to it that most movies can't give out.Go see Stealing Harvard today!

ENJOY!

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing in every way you look at it!, January 22, 2004
I kept my expectations to a slight amount even after the atrocity that was "Freddy Got Fingered" scarred us but "Stealing Harvard" just goes to show just the cinematic pipsqueak that Tom Green has sunk to.

I never was a fan of him or his show but I didn't deny that he has some talent but sadly with his past tow movies, it has come to show that Green has thrown a lot of it into the waste basket with some of the dumbest movies that I've seen in recent years.

The acting is just horrible and what tries to make it funny just comes off being dumb and UNFUNNY! It's more than likely for these reasons that I've been shifting away from comedies and into dramas.

The movies plot idea is interesting, the idea of a man whose neice is dreaming of going to Harvard University despite the poverty that she and her mother live in. So now Duff (Tom Green) goes on various lawless tactics to acquire money to send her to Harvard. This plot idea is really good but whatever could've put it to good use is completely wasted on bad acting by almost everyone involved. To be honest, I walked out of the room after about 40 minutes because nothing came up that was funny or the slightest bit interesting enough to keep me from going up to my room and resume on homework assignments.

This movie is nowhere near as hideously awful like "Freddy Got Fingered" was but "Stealing Harvard" could really have been a great or at least halfway-decent movie but the cast's acting was just lame and unconvincing and completely sank the film to mediocrity in every way you can look at it.

There was a reason why almost everyone bashed this movie to pieces. It was not only unfunny but also excessively crude, coma-inducing and just totally stupid, without offering any signs of laughter.

Tom Green is not funny at the slightest! Someone please get the bullhorn and tell him that his garbage is insulting.

Don't let my harsh review stop you from seeing this but I'm letting you all know. You will end up just throwing a fraction of your life away with this.
