Critics' reviews
- "'Summer School' is like summer school: you go, then quickly realize you would much rather be doing something else."
- "It's exceptionally good-natured and perceptive, and Harmon, in his first starring screen role, is a real charmer."
- "It has a lack of ambition and energy that is almost total"
- "Harmon proves that he can act stupid, and that's not enough to make the movie funny"
