Movie review, 'Stealing Harvard'
Some actors steal scenes. Tom Green just gives them a bad odor. This self-infatuated goofball is far from the only thing wrong with the clumsy comedy "Stealing Harvard," but he's the most obvious one. When he appears on screen, it's like some skin-...Tags: Movies, Chicago Tribune, Leslie Mann, Megan Mullally, Richard Jenkins

Movie review, 'Sidewalks of New York'
One of the major attractions of Edward Burns' "Sidewalks of New York" is the way it brings back the old pre-Sept. 11 Manhattan N.Y.C. -- and with its old hard-shell flippancy and attitude -- back to cinematic life. Making his fourth -- and by far best --...Tags: David Krumholtz, Movies, Chicago Tribune, Real Estate Agents, Heather Graham

Movie review, 'Big Trouble'

'Stealing Harvard'
Times Staff Writer"Stealing Harvard" is an act of grand theft--the way it wastes your time is a crime. It's so bad that you have to wonder whether Tom Green was looking for a project to match last year's "Freddy Got Fingered," which he directed and which ended up on many...Tags: Movies, Leslie Mann, Megan Mullally, Chris Penn, Bruce McCulloch

'Sidewalks of New York'
Special To The TimesIt's easy to see why Edward Burns' "Sidewalks of New York" was postponed from its September opening date.
