Product Description:
From the producer of Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar comes a whole new school of thought: Accepted. When every college turns him down, Bartleby "B" Gaines decides to make one up. Welcome to the South Harmon Institute of Technology, where the students teach the classes, the dean lives in a trailer in the back, and Bartleby's on the way to scoring with the girl of his dreams. It's a raunchy, rowdy, flat-out funny college comedy that critics are calling "freakin' hilarious" (Steven Chupnick, MovieWeb.com)!

Justin Long has been hovering on the edges of movies like The Break-Up and Dodgeball, providing little comic bursts that are often funnier than the rest of the movie. In Accepted, Long plays Bartleby Gaines, a fast-talking slacker who, when he gets rejected by every college he applied to, invents a phony college to get his parents off his back. Unfortunately, the website his best friend creates is too effective--hundreds of other rejects apply and are accepted. Instead of revealing the hoax, Gaines decides to forge ahead and let the students create their own curriculum, little suspecting that their school is obstructing the expansion plans of the nearby snobbish college. Accepted is much better than you might expect, given the low bar set by most campus comedies; it aims for, and sometimes achieves, the blend of slapstick and social satire that Animal House embodied.Long proves to be a charming leading man without losing his quirky comic sense and the supporting cast is consistently entertaining, particularly stand-up comedian Lewis Black, who delivers a variety of sardonic rants about society. Accepted's critique of conformism is glib--you wish they'd given it a little more bite--but it's still valid and a pleasant sliver of substance in an otherwise vapid genre. --Bret Fetzer

- GREAT
Love the movie. Could be the most underrated comedy I have ever watched. If you are a recent high school grad you know someone going threw this and it is a must watch.

- Nice mindless fun
The movie overall is similar to all the movies in this genre.This one has decent acting and characters that you can actually care about.It's goofy and over the top and doesn't really have any serious moments; however, the subject matter itself is thought provoking enough that it doesn't feel as inane as the style suggests.Overall, it's worth watching for some light-hearted fun.

ACCEPTED is the latest in a long line of "slobs vs. snobs" movies; while its take is a bit more unique (a make-believe college, for cryin' out loud), it proves to be just as forgettable as all its predecessors.All the bells and whistles we find in previous meatball comedies are rehashed here (sophomoric humor, slapstick, pranks, pratfalls, and a stick-it-to-the-man finale).This is a movie that has its funny moments, its ho-hum moments, its over-the-top moments--pretty much standard fare for today's ...

Rating: - It's a Learning Tool, Seriously
Even though, it's a comedy, this has aspect of "Fiere's Pedagogy of the Oppressed" educational theory as a film. This film can be used as a comedic learning tool to help explain changes that should be made in education.
