A slim pan. While there's a certain novelty of setting and a lot of its dialogue pops, the movie's chief problem is the fact that it doesn't seem to wholly embrace the arguably detestable nature of its characters.June 23, 2011
A farce that can't quite find its comic register.June 23, 2011
Flies off its comic rails after an engaging start, never to land back on solid ground.June 22, 2011
Dimly plays out like a waking daymare Alexander Payne thought up while sitting disinterestedly through last fall's disinteresting Waiting for Superman.October 19, 2011
...it's finally impossible to label The Best and the Brightest as anything more than a sporadically amusing misfire.June 23, 2011
This is a positive review for a mediocre movie with outstanding performances. The Best and the Brightest doesn't describe this movie - only its cast.June 24, 2011
Josh Shelov's smug and smutty farce employs an estimable cast in an only sporadically funny story...June 24, 2011
A politically incorrect farce that's increasingly preposterous and inane yet nonetheless hilarious, zany and bold. Amy Sedaris has never been funnier.June 23, 2011
The Best and the Brightest is amusing at times but never more than a modest diversion, lacking the cleverness and imagination required to turn it into more than a one-joke movie.June 24, 2011
Far too many sitcom shenanigans crop up like clockwork...June 24, 2011
Absurd premise and weak script doom this comedy about haute-preschool angst.June 23, 2011
A repellent comedy that's less fun than a parasite infection...
