Reviews
- "Quaid disappears beneath his beard and into his role, yet because Lawrence is such a remote character, it's hard to care much. Page's role is pretty thin and monotonous, which leaves Church's droll Chuck to provide subtle relief from the gloom." - Roger EbertRogerEbert.com: Smart People (April 11, 2008)
- "[T]he actors in Smart People are such lively, offbeat company that you're happy to spend time with them. The movie is too savvy to let Lawrence shake off his curmudgeonly vibe. He doesn't grow, he just emerges, and that's enough." - Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly: Smart People (April 9, 2008)
