Nicholson deftly illustrates the background cynicism of big time sports against the more obvious cynicism of college life.

No way can it be said to work, despite the cast's cultish distinction, but it still knocks most of its quasi-radical contemporaries sideways as an index of doomed '60s/'70s causes and confusions.

All of the film's characters, and all of the performances, are touched with the kind of unexpected sensibility and decency that are rare in most films of this genre.
Roger Ebert on 6/4/2005 12:00:00 AM / 10
A disorganized but occasionally brilliant movie about two college students and the world they, and we, inhabit.
Jack Nicholson's first venture into direction is very much a film of its time.
