Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Early potential fizzles away too quickly in this underachieving buddy comedy, which just barely skids along on the charm of its co-stars.

Aside from some nice autumnal shots of Ivy League college campuses, there's nothing in HairBrained to sustain much interest.

rotten:
Unfortunately, the movie lacks strong enough players to fill in subtext to Mr. Kent's formulaic setups, and the story flounders once Ms. Posey is out of the picture.

rotten:
"HairBrained" is painfully contrived and self-consciously quirky from the word go.

rotten:
A campus comedy that tries to transcend its many formulaic elements with an insufficient dose of absurdism.
