The good news is that Class of '96 is more reminiscent of The Paper Chase than Animal House. Go to Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune 06/17/2019
"Class of '96" has the hapless look of a reveler who arrives when the party's over. Go to Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times 06/17/2019
At its worst, "Class of '96" falls deeply, hopelessly in love with its own sensitivity, at once romanticizing (at this campus, professors take personal interest in each undergraduate) and melodramatizing the college experience.

More serious and better written than most in this genre. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 06/17/2019
It's a gentle, wise and funny look at the passage from home to college life. It's the "thirtysomething" for twentysomethings. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
