| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 24, 2021

Though the plot is outrageous, with no grounding in reality, the film does an admirable job of making everything seem sensible - at least in the context of a comedic scenario.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 15, 2020

A surprisingly sharp comedy that manages to pay homage to classic comedies like Animal House while delivering a lot of laughs.

| Original Score: B | Nov 20, 2019

Despite several hilarious moments involving oddball classes and crude attempts to deceive parents, it's a teen movie by numbers and ultimately the maths don't add up.

It has a few funny bits here and there, but they're deeply mired in the seen-it-all-beforeness of the film.

Sporadically entertaining but relentlessly lightweight...

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2007

Average comedy that's low on jokes and doesn't quite live up to its premise, though it remains watchable thanks to a charming performance by Justin Long.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 5, 2006

Amid the corny cliches, the writers have buried several genuinely hilarious throwaway lines.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 23, 2006

Wants to be so much funnier than it actually is.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 2, 2006

A flat comedy based on a flimsy premise and filled out with the usual "snowballing lie" plot, climaxing in the "rousing speech."

expect an uneasy feeling of recycling.
