"...Fitfully amusing....THE FRESHMAN has a snappy madness that's hard to resist..."
"... What THE FRESHMAN demonstrates is that Brando can parody himself better than any of his imitators -- and still appear as regal as ever..."
"Effectively, this is the final full Brando performance, and it ushers him out on a wonderfully sweet, lyrical note..."
"...A witty and enchanted comedy....Propelled by the actors' straight-faced delivery to an ever more lunatic pitch..."
"A modest comedy with its own rewards."
