Though "Smart People" is smarter-than-your-average Hollywood comedy, this tale of academia and dysfunction still works only fitfully, despite a top-notch cast including Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Haden Church and Ellen Page, who got an Academy Award nomination for the title role in 2007's "Juno."

Some smart lines, at any rate, and fine performances from Dennis Quaid, as a crotchety widowed professor (borrowing a gut and a rolling, flat-footed walk from brother Randy), Ellen Page as his precocious, preppy daughter, and Thomas Haden Church as his freeloading slob of a brother, who turns out to be surprisingly dependable.
