John (Jason Lee) leads a simple and happy life. He has a beautiful fiancée and an assistant manager position at his future father-in-law's company. Everything seems perfect, until John's favorite niece surprises him with her acceptance to Harvard University and he's reminded of a long forgotten oath he made to foot the bill! Desperate, John turns to his hare-brained and half-witted best friend Duff (Tom Green) for advice. Thinking far outside of the box, Duff convinces John that they must temporarily lead a life of crime to raise the needed cash! From the director of Superstar, and co-starring Megan Mullally (Emmy Award® winning Best Supporting Actress for TV's "Will & Grace") and Dennis Farina (Snatch, Big Trouble), Stealing Harvard is an outrageous comedy of errors proving that getting into college is the easy part!

Critics Consensus: There are laughs Stealing Harvard, but they are few and far between. Tom Green's antics grow old fast.

Reviews

Reel Film Reviews

David Nusair

...an agreeably over-the-top premise that’s employed to periodically passable yet mostly underwhelming effect...

A footnote on the resumes of early 2000s stars Lee and Tom Green, this is a buddy comedy that runs on strained jokes rather than any real chemistry between the leads.

Relying on tired sight gags and a continual theme of men wearing women's clothing, Stealing Harvard is a crime in and of itself.

With only an occasional laugh here and there, this is just another of the many stinky comedies to come around in years.
