Cant give a movie with Lewis Black screaming, "Pimps and w*****!" a bad score.

In this movie universe, community colleges don't exist. An argument can be made that "Accepted" is science fiction, like Phillip Roth's "The Plot Against America"(highbrow sci-fi has the snobby cachet of being labeled "speculative fiction"), this story takes place in an alternate history, in which the republicans seemingly have won the battle to eliminate two-year institutions. After Bartleby (Justin Long) gets the shaft from seven four-year institutions, and curiously, there is no mention of j.c.'s as a logical alternative to the service industry. "Accepted" isn't clever enough to follow through with its somewhat appealing premise of creating a fake college (too much time is spent on Bartelby's pursuit of Monica), but it does have some clever references to films like "Shattered Glass"(fake journalist) and "This is Spinal Tap"(fake documentary). On second thought, maybe South Harmon Institute of Technology is supposed to be a disparagement against community college itself.… Expand

good enough to give you some erections and chuckles, but nothing special and just your average stupid comedy.

this movie is nothig but below average comedy. Sure, its a funny idea but the movie is just not very good and will most likely not have a very large audiance.

I liked it better when it was "Camp Nowhere".

All comparisons aside, this is a clever film with enough gags and good intentions to successfully sustain your attention for its brief 90 minute runtime. Of all the mainstream studio comedies that I’ve seen this summer, this is the only one to genuinely make me laugh (sorry You, Me, and Dupree). More importantly, it has an earnest, if schmaltzy, center beneath its wiener joke surface. As a college aged kid, I actually think they were surprisingly on the nose about the condescension and limitations of a lot of modern universities. This is simply a very funny, grossly silly, and surprisingly sweet film. Go see it if you want something that will put you in a good mood.… Expand

Hysterical, a fantastic movie!

I thought this film would be awful, but it really exceeded my expectations. It's not funny in the over-the-top American Pie sort of way we've come to expect from the teen comedy genre, but pretty funny nonetheless. Lewis Black delivers a great performance, but should have had more screen time. Definitely worth a rent.

Its watchable, but not great.

well acted and smart idea with a good poster and trailer. however the plot lacks meaning and is at times quite boring. it is enjoyable and very funny at times.

I ain't laiugh my @$$ off in a movie like this since scary movie 3, that ending was funny as $h!t too. If u tired os stupid movies u gotta see this one, its one of the few good comedies this summer. Peace out!!!

Not the funniest movie I've seen, but hilarious nonetheless. Definently worth buying.

While the idea of progressive education is one that I'd like to see more of, it doesn't come from a movie this preposterous and oddly preachy when it gets to be serious.
