80In a summer of clones, Harvard Man is something rare and riveting: a wild ride that relies on more than special effects.
-
75How 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.
-
50Sillier 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.
-
30Channels Toback in his purest form, which will probably be a treat for auteurists and a headache for just about everyone else.
