"Roger Dodger" is all about Roger (Swanson), a single, horizontally mobile, self proclaimed pseudointellectual know-it-al expert on human nature and mating rituals who takes a wayward teen nephew under his wing and teaches him how to get laid...or how not to. The film is uses a construct built from cliches with a veneer of cynicism, biting caustically while uncannily serving up warm and fuzzies at the same time making it a deft and almost believable tale which many will enjoy and many will not. Scoring excellent marks for a first outing, "Roger Dodger will be most enjoyed by those into razor sharp wit no matter which way it cuts. (B)
