Stealing Harvard
InStealing Harvard, the charming Jason Lee (Chasing Amy,Almost Famous) wastes his talent playing John, a nice guy who once rashly  promised his niece that he would pay for her college education. Now she's been  accepted into Harvard, and though John has just the right amount of money in the  bank, that money is meant to buy a house for himself and his fiancée Elaine  (Leslie Mann,Big Daddy). Afraid of disappointing his niece, John enlists  his friend Duff (Tom Green,Freddy Got Fingered,Road Trip) on a  spree of inane criminal escapades that go wrong. Lee is an engaging actor, but  he can't make the half-baked gags ofStealing Harvardfunny. Similarly  wasted are Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Dennis Farina (Out of  Sight,Snatch), Chris Penn (Reservoir Dogs,Short  Cuts), and others.--Bret Fetzer
