This movie was a lot better than I expected. I'm surprised I never heard of it because it actually has some funny moments. Tom Green is hilarious, his character makes the movie a lot better, and the plot has more sentiment... Full review

The premise if funny and the characters are very funny, but nothing that Tom Green does is funny. If they would have taken this movie more seriously and fine-tuned the script, as well as re-cast Duff with a talented actor, it... Full review

wastes a decent supporting cast (Leslie Mann, Megan Mullally, Richard Jenkins, John C. McGinley).....His mere presence (openly staring at cue cards while reading his lines) is an insult to Lee, doing his best to make a foolish premise work (script by Peter Tolan and Martin Hynes)..... ...

In "Stealing Harvard," there are no characters to get involved with or care about, and the story they have found themselves in is scattershot, at best.
Mann could have gone over-the-top, playing her role with a certain shrill annoyance, but she avoids the trap and aids in making Elaine a more multi-dimensional figure.

Now finishing high school, Patty is ecstatic that she has been accepted to Harvard, won a partial scholarship and arranged further financial aid.
Thus "Stealing Harvard" proceeds from one labored and unfunny shenanigan to another until it peters out to a predictably happy ending.

The only redeeming value I found in Stealing Harvard is that it avoids insulting anyone or any group.
Little did he know that his niece would be accepted at Harvard, and now expects him to make good on his promise.
