    A very, very strange movie, but all of Tom Green's movies are lol.
    Jason Lee gives a great heart felt performance along side strange-funnyman Tom Green. Some great funny bits in this movie with a very strange storyline.

    It may be unlawful and stupid but I like it when John and Duff save $30,000 for John's dream house and another $30,000 for his niece's college tuition. And when they're Stealing Harvard, I find a memorable liquor store robbery hilarious.

    I was totally surprised by this movie! Much funnier than had anticipated!

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

A shambling, incoherent story ... manages to abuse both Mr. Lee's good nature and his comic gift. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's not enough to say that Green isn't funny in Stealing Harvard -- that might leave the impression that Green simply isn't funny in comparison to other comedians. No, it's bigger than that. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This is as lax and limp a comedy as I've seen in a while, a meander through worn-out material. full review
