He writes them all down in his special notebooks, and they're so cool, so groundbreaking, that everyone who reads them is amazed and their lives are altered. The problem is that the notebooks have been stolen. The bigger problem is that he's falling in love with the thief as she spills his best secrets. Clever, romantic, and at times full of good old-fashioned, beer-drinking college humor, this sleeper comedy is part physics, part keg-party fun. [More]

It's the sort of small-scale comedy that invites multiple viewings.

What should be the American Pie of college genius comedies suffers from a lack of imagination and an absence of impudence...

Director Scott Lew is not without his own cool ideas (having Reno 911's Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon play campus cops is genius), but his focus is all over the place

The film's early momentum wears off, and we realize the movie's not as amusing or entertaining as it wants to be.

Bickford is an assured first feature for former Beacon Pictures exec Lew, with a winning cast and an infectious spirit.

Packing quite a bit of wit, wisdom, craziness, and creativity into its slick-looking and efficient frame, Bickford Schmeckler's Cool Ideas is a bizarrely charming little diversion.
