Zeven jaar na zijn succesvolle roman is professor Grady Tripp er nog steeds niet in geslaagd een nieuw boek af te werken. Hij houdt zich intussen bezig met lesgeven en vrouwen versieren. Dit verandert wanneer hij de excentrieke student James ontmoet, die hem inspireert, maar ook zijn leven op zijn kop zet. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Recensie (1)
A film in which formally everything works as it should, yet it didn't get close to my heart. Douglas's deliciously played stoner professor Tripp is a thoroughly likeable character, as is the setting; even the cloudy weather aptly corresponds with Tripp's feelings, and some situations are hilariously absurd, but plot-wise it is just average. In the same way that editor Crabtree "improvises" at the end of the film, it seems to me that the screenwriter improvises at times to make his child at least a little more interesting.
