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 exce ... llent 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.
