Roger Ebert
Broderick is fine in the central role as the earnest film student, and Bruno Kirby has a lot of fun as the fast talking street kid who knows all the angles.And Bert Parks must have been saving up his ideas for this movie ever since they terminated him at the Miss America pageant. ( Read More )
Joe Brown
But The Freshman is so refreshing and endearing, its laughs so genuine, chances are youll be willing to forgive the minor glitches.Bergmans got a sweet natured sense of humor and the film is peppered with in jokes and matter of factly off the wall sight gags and cameo appearances. ( Read More )
Angie Errigo
It is also distinguished by the Best Performance By A Lizard ever. ( Read More )
