Stealing Harvard

Their intentions were honorable. Their methods were criminal.

CrimeComedyDrama

John and his girlfriend have vowed to marry once they save $30,000 for their dream house. But the minute they achieve their financial goal, John finds out his niece has been accepted at Harvard, and he's reminded of his promise to pay for her tuition (nearly $30,000). John's friend Duff convinces him to turn to petty crime to make the payment … but Duff's hare-brained schemes spin quickly out of control.

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. Jason Lee is consistently good, but his roles / movies seem to have the same vibe to them, and if you like those vibes like I do, you're usually pleased. This absurdity comedy is helped along rather well by Tom Green, and Leslie Mann as an excellent straight man with Dennis Farina being a very natural big bad guy. The concept alone, having to get $30K to help someone to get into Harvard is boundless, let alone the series of hair-brained scheme route. It's not "Ocean's Eleven", but it's funny.
