...people gave the Crimson a chance this weekend. And they had good reason not to—Harvard had looked lifeless for most of the last month during it’s 2-8-1 post-exam swoon, and it played with virtually no emotion in its final regular season game, a 3-0 loss at Princeton...
...script’s adaptation of the novel has reduced all the poeticism of the latter to aphorisms that would make Disney cringe. The real problem with the paucity of the screenplay is the fact that, with one notable exception, the characters are written to be so dull and lifeless that calling them one-dimensional is an overstatement.

Besides not being able to sing, his lyrics can be cringe-worthy: “So carry these words inside of you / Love is really sad.” Evenly divided between dreadful, plodding songs and competent exercises...
