    In a summer of clones, Harvard Man is something rare and riveting: a wild ride that relies on more than special effects.
  2. 75
    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.
  3. 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.
  4. 30
    Channels Toback in his purest form, which will probably be a treat for auteurists and a headache for just about everyone else.
