After being rejected from Harvard University, 14-year old genius and outcast Eli Pettifog (Alex Wolff) finds himself at Whittman College, an Ivy League wannabe. Eli, the hair brained meets 41-year-old freshman Leo Searly (Brendan Fraser), a gambler whose world has imploded and has dropped out of life to enroll in college. The odd duo becomes unlikely friends in this comedic coming-of-age film.
On Screen Anarchy, Andrew Mack wrote that "not all of the humor hit its mark (...) For the most part, it is a pleasant film to watch and is charming in its own right."[5]Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com awarded the film 1/4 stars calling it a "painfully contrived and self-consciously quirky from the word go."[6]
