Often caught trying too hard, forcing the feature into positions that fail to extract the simple joys of the premise and its idiosyncratic lead character.

Early potential fizzles away too quickly in this underachieving buddy comedy, which just barely skids along on the charm of its co-stars.
February 28, 2014
A campus comedy that tries to transcend its many formulaic elements with an insufficient dose of absurdism.

Billy Kent's charming HairBrained comes from a long legacy of collegiate comedies but still finds its own identity.

HairBrained is a rather dumb comedy about a sharply intelligent mind, failing due to flat characters, cliched plotting and minimal laughs.

Aside from some nice autumnal shots of Ivy League college campuses, there's nothing in HairBrained to sustain much interest.
February 27, 2014
Hairbrained has a lot of good stuff. There is nothing egregiously wrong with the film. It just needs more of that good stuff.
October 31, 2014
HairBrained is enjoyable, lightweight entertainment and, for a story about a genius, it requires very little thinking.
February 28, 2014
"HairBrained" is painfully contrived and self-consciously quirky from the word go.
