Critic Reviews of "HairBrained"
VarietyFebruary 28, 2014A campus comedy that tries to transcend its many formulaic elements with an insufficient dose of absurdism.
RogerEbert.comFebruary 28, 2014"HairBrained" is painfully contrived and self-consciously quirky from the word go.
New York TimesFebruary 27, 2014Unfortunately, the movie lacks strong enough players to fill in subtext to Mr. Kent's formulaic setups, and the story flounders once Ms. Posey is out of the picture.
New York ObserverFebruary 27, 2014Aside from some nice autumnal shots of Ivy League college campuses, there's nothing in HairBrained to sustain much interest.
New York Daily NewsFebruary 27, 2014Early potential fizzles away too quickly in this underachieving buddy comedy, which just barely skids along on the charm of its co-stars.
Village VoiceFebruary 25, 2014Billy Kent's charming HairBrained comes from a long legacy of collegiate comedies but still finds its own identity.
FILMINK (Australia)October 31, 2014HairBrained is enjoyable, lightweight entertainment and, for a story about a genius, it requires very little thinking.
Baret NewsMarch 01, 2014Think a poor man's cross of Napoleon Dynamite (2004) and Old School (2003) where a coming-of-age tale merges with a midlife crisis.
We Got This CoveredFebruary 27, 2014HairBrained is a rather dumb comedy about a sharply intelligent mind, failing due to flat characters, cliched plotting and minimal laughs.
Aisle SeatFebruary 27, 2014Hairbrained has a lot of good stuff. There is nothing egregiously wrong with the film. It just needs more of that good stuff.
Blu-ray.comFebruary 27, 2014Often caught trying too hard, forcing the feature into positions that fail to extract the simple joys of the premise and its idiosyncratic lead character.
