    Rolling Stone | Peter Travers

    In a summer of clones, Harvard Man is something rare and riveting: a wild ride that relies on more than special effects. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    Adams sparkles with quick-mindedness and verbal agility. This is a worthy and underused talent. Read full review

    Chicago Sun-Times | Roger Ebert

    How 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. Read full review

    Variety |

    Wildly uneven yet perversely coherent ode to the lure of sexual and chemical experimentation, the precariousness of sanity and the sheer suggestible power of paranoia. Read full review

    The New York Times | Dana Stevens

    Mr. Toback uses his improbable, conventional story as the trelliswork for a series of wild and florid riffs about sex, ethics and the delirium of renegade moviemaking. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Kevin Thomas

    A fast and clever con-gone-wrong comedy that reflects the writer-director's characteristic blend of the intellectual and the criminal. But it lacks anyone to care about--even the repellent characters are less than fascinating--and the result is a crisply made movie that is no more than mildly amusing. Read full review

    New York Daily News | Jack Mathews

    Sillier than it is clever, and Toback's self-indulgence is tiresome. He's a genuine auteur, all right, but his life and the funky tastes that inspire him are just not as interesting as he thinks they are. Read full review

    Entertainment Weekly | Lisa Schwarzbaum

    A characteristically engorged and sloppy coming-of-age movie from the filmmaker (''Harvard '66'') who, in his body of work, indulges his fantasies as fetishistically as other men finger their cigars. Read full review

    Salon.com | Stephanie Zacharek

    Sure, sex and drugs can take you to a higher plane. But not if a movie crushes your will to live first. Read full review

    Wall Street Journal | Joe Morgenstern

    There's no transcending a prosaic plot and several flat performances. Read full review
