Editorial DVD Review

[Top]

In Stealing Harvard, the charming Jason Lee wastes his talent playing John, a nice guy who once rashly promised his niece that he would pay for her college education. Now shes been accepted into Harvard, & though John has just the right amount of money in the bank, that money is meant to buy a house for himself & his fiancÃ©e Elaine . Afraid of disappointing his niece, John enlists his friend Duff on a spree of inane criminal escapades that go wrong. Lee is an engaging actor, but he cant make the half-baked gags of Stealing Harvard funny. Similarly wasted are Megan Mullally, Dennis Farina, Chris Penn & others.

Biography: Jason Lee

[Top]

Jason Lee is a footballer who enjoyed a brief period of notoriety in the mid-1990s. Lee began his career at Lincoln City & Southend United. He moved to Nottingham Forest in 1994. Initially Lee failed to crack his way into Forests first team. However the departure of Stan Collymore to Liverpool saw him feature regularly on the team sheet. In the 1994/95 season he scored eight league goals in 28 games. Lee was transferred to Watford in 1997 for £200,000 - the same fee paid by Forest three years earlier. Lees fame however did not derive so much from his play as the decision of Frank Skinner & David Baddiel to lampoon him & in particular his pineapple haircut on their laddish football chat show Fantasy Football League. Following repeated ridicule on the programme, Lee suffered a torrent of chants & abuse from the terraces. Once the joke wore thin, Lee returned to relative obscurity. Posters Of Jason Lee
