In a summer of clones, Harvard Man is something rare and riveting: a wild ride that relies on more than special effects.

Adams sparkles with quick-mindedness and verbal agility. This is a worthy and underused talent.

As with most of Toback's films, there are Big Ideas being bandied about that never quite coalesce, a failing that, this time at least, mirrors his hero's own hyped-out search for meaning.

The film suffers from clunky smart-aleck dialogue and an overabundance of jump cuts and crane shots, and despite its libertine air, Toback repeatedly cautions that acid is a fast track to insanity, especially in combination with Heidegger and Wittgenstein.

The story's self-conscious seaminess cries out for the ministrations of a filmmaker like direct-to-video auteur Gregory Hippolyte.

Channels Toback in his purest form, which will probably be a treat for auteurists and a headache for just about everyone else.

An astonishing mess.
