Rating: 2/5 -- Captures the brash boldness of the novel, but not the literary wit. A misguided affair. Full Review

Director Damian Harris isn't able to capture the book's special charms, and resorts to having his young hero address the camera to keep the viewer in the picture. Full Review

The result is without dramatic or moral weight, despite Highway's contrived comeuppance, and it's impossible to care about the characters. Full Review

Pryce gives one of the year's most refreshingly uninhibited performances as the boy's weird, postmodern hippie brother-in-law Norman. And Fletcher is a genuine star. His devilish precocity makes The Rachel Papers a bracing treat. Full Review

It has a brisk, well-turned-out quality that augurs well for Harris, the son of Richard Harris. Helping set and maintain the film's smart tone is Chaz Jankel and David Storrs' deft, trendy score. Full Review

...The film is pleasant and amusing. It has a brisk, well-turned-out quality that augurs well for Harris....Helping set and maintain the film's smart tone is Chaz Jankel and David Storrs' deft, trendy score...
