Smart People

Comedy. Drama. Romance When Dr. Janet Hartigan (Parker) agrees to look after her injured former professor (Quaid), little does she know she will soon have to contend with his clumsy affections, the attitude of his Young Republican daughter (Page), and the sudden arrival of Lawrence's good-for-nothing adopted brother (Thomas Haden Church).
Media Author Review
United States
New York Post
"Page and Church work so brilliantly together as a comic team that it's worth enduring the leads' utter lack of chemistry together - not to mention the fact they're both wildly miscast." 
United States
Chicago Reader
"Poirer and director Noam Murro have trouble bringing this to a satisfying climax, but the characters are credible and sharply observed"
United States
TV Guide
"A sharp, superbly acted character-driven comedic drama." 
United States
ReelViews
"The main problem with Smart People is that it never breaks new ground"
United States
The Hollywood Reporter
"Poirier is a master at dialogue. His script crackles with sharp lines and he gives all his scenes a splendid comic undertow"
United States
USA Today
"Though it features witty dialogue and good performances, the plot contrivances keep it from being an altogether winning enterprise"
