Leave your thoughts about Harvard Man.
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekSure, sex and drugs can take you to a higher plane. But not if a movie crushes your will to live first. |
| OregonianShawn LevyA semi-autobiographical film that's so sloppily written and cast that you cannot believe anyone more central to the creation of Bugsy than the caterer had anything to do with it. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAdams sparkles with quick-mindedness and verbal agility. This is a worthy and underused talent. |
| Dallas ObserverAndy KleinThe film suffers from clunky smart-aleck dialogue and an overabundance of jump cuts and crane shots, and despite its libertine air, Toback repeatedly cautions that acid is a fast track to insanity, especially in combination with Heidegger and Wittgenstein. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHow can one man juggle two women, possible expulsion, Mafia baseball bats and the meaning of life, while on acid? This is the kind of question only a Toback film thinks to ask, let alone answer. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonAn overstylized, puréed mélange of sex, psychology, drugs and philosophy. Sometimes entertaining, sometimes indulgent -- but never less than pure wankery. |
| Boxoffice MagazineSheri LindenFor those who accept the offbeat premise, the film ultimately delivers a satisfying dramatic exploration of the ways we create ourselves. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThere's a certain niche audience that will eat up Harvard Man -- but whether that's the mob-movie set, the college-movie set, or the sex-movie set, I really have no idea. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchThe attempt is courageous, even if the result is wildly uneven. |
| Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenPutting it all out there and shaping it into some kind of contained whole is something else again. Although that never quite happens here, there's plenty to appreciate. |
