Accepted

It's one of the few genuinely funny comedies in a dismal movie summer.

Low of brow and pure of heart, the movie plays like "Animal House" extra-lite, and as such it's decent indecent fun.

The humour in Accepted is maddeningly safe.

Like its underachieving protagonist, Steve Pink's teen comedy Accepted flashes just enough charm to get by but is too lazy to really make anything of itself.

Accepted will make for a passable alternative to sold-out shows of "Snakes on a Plane," but it's a disappointing debut for the director Steve Pink.

Mildly amusing at best and a criminal waste of a great concept.

A campus comedy that's as dull as bong water, Accepted is like the product of a community college filmmaking class, remedial division.

This is an underrated movie. Yes the story is thin and completely unrealistic but the characters, specifically Adam Herschman as the crazy teenage chef who experiments with food and Jeremy Howard as the hysterical freak who can blow up with his mind. Accepted has an inspiring court scene, a skatalogical old man, Jonah Hill dressed as a hot dog and a stupid but absolutely hilarious ending.

Accepted is one of those comedies that don’t aim for much more than keeping you entertained for ninety minutes, and that’s clear from the start. The initial idea is likable and even carries some satirical potential, but the film chooses the easy route: quick jokes, absurd situations, and a constantly light tone that never really challenges **** first stretch works better. There’s pace, a few gags that land, and a sense of cheeky comedy that, without being brilliant, is at least pleasant. The problem comes when the story starts to stretch and it feels like there isn’t enough material to support the full runtime. That’s when the film becomes repetitive and loses **** humor is very uneven. Some jokes work, others fall flat, and many seem aimed at a very specific audience. It’s not a particularly sharp or clever comedy, and at times it leans too heavily on the obvious. Still, if you connect with its tone, it can get a few easy laughs out of **** characters function more as excuses than as fully developed figures. There’s charisma and a certain youthful energy, but few ideas are explored in any real depth. The film hints at a critique of the education system and the obsession with academic success, but never dares to dig much deeper.Overall, Accepted is an acceptable way to pass the time, with no great ambitions and no major disappointments. It doesn’t leave a mark or offer surprises, but it doesn’t become a chore either if you’re on its wavelength. One of those films you watch, forget, and move on from.

Not gonna lie I had a good time with this one. It had some really funny parts. Jonah hill was hilarious. The only problem I have is that i just couldn't "accept" the plot of the movie. If you are smart enough to fake an entire college then you are smart enough to actually get into college.

Justin Long plays a slacker who puts together a college for rejects and misfits. Justin Long makes a good lead and the supporting cast is also noteworthy, it offers some laughs and has an interesting premise once you suspend your disbelief. Biggest problem for the film is that it becomes mired in needless cliche's

Typical brain-dead comedy perfectly suited for anyone currently failing college or regretting the fact that they never attended. Cliche in almost every regard, with a horrible leading actor, and a boring "rebellious young teen vs. old white men" philosophy that seals its place in the worst of the worst.
