Harvard Man is a 2001 American crime comedy-drama thriller film written and directed by James Toback, and starring Adrian Grenier, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Joey Lauren Adams, Rebecca Gayheart, Ray Allen, and Eric Stoltz.
Alan throws the game, gives his parents the money, and then undergoes a psychedelic experience after he ingests a 15,000 microgram dose of LSD, followed by a long stretch of the film during which morphing special effects demonstrate Alan's altered state as he is pursued by Carter, while Cindy is collared by Morgan.
Just when it looks like a toss-up as to what will prove his downfall first, the bad trip, the FBI, or the mob, Alan's other girlfriend, who is also his philosophy lecturer, Chesney Cort, saves the day.
Not only does she get Alan to a doctor who can bring him back to sobriety, she reveals that she is in a sexual threesome with Carter and Morgan.
The site's critical consensus reads, "Harvard Man is a pretentious, incoherent mess.
