Accepted (2006)

That was an excellent one.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I learned after watching the movie that a fair share of scenes were improvised. Not too surprising. While that could have made for some very funny lines, in this instance it gave us a comedy scarce on the laughs and that's barely held together at the seams.I did not have high expectations coming into this, but I at least hoped for some entertainment. The idea had potential, but the plot and turns are very by-the-numbers and the people behind it, like the students in the movie, were apparently content half-assing it."Accepted" is fairly harmless. Nothing too raunchy or gross, no drugs or sex. The high jinx here is pretty tame, and so is the movie. The villains are not that villainous, the rowdy bunch of outcast students, not that rebellious. It's all just bland.I wonder if in more capable hands some of the actors would have shined a little more. We know Jonah Hill is able to be much better. Justin Long was fairly earnest, but his lack of charisma far too evident. Lewis Black's character was just a waste of time.Perhaps the only to come out well here is Blake Lively, who in spite of the dialogue, gives a sympathetic, bright performance, but I'm gasping at straws here. This rather forgettable movie is watchable, but neither funny nor particularly entertaining.(+) A few good actors who have done better work elsewhere: Hill, Lively, Thayer. The concept had potential .(-) Wasted potential. Bland movie. Barely there script, with nothing much happening. Meh.

Seriously,i decided to watch a movie to get some laughs and chill and i bumped into this.After reading some reviews i decided to give it a go with the expectation this movie to be at least as half as good the reviews demonstrated.However to my bad luck i realised i just wasted 93 minutes of my life that i,unfortunately,cannot take back ever again.The movie is totally unrealistic.There isn't any character development,the ending is predictable and i am sure that this movie will remind you of many others.Logic isn't here.Neither is humor.I really recommend this movie to anyone who wants to give end to his miserable life and doesn't know why.

I just got this movie from my friend and had a good time watching it... This movie is amazingly funny and also really enthusiastic too ! This movie says about the truth of today's education system, maybe abroad or here in India, it's all the same... It is an excellent portrayal of the "system" in question and how ridiculous it truly is. The funny portions in the movie r really funny, because they say the truth ! Many other movies just become stupid, actually meaning to be funny, but this isn't a movie like that! this is actually a funny and meaningful movie that every student and Parents too should watch !!!Hope you have a good time watching this movie!

Accepted will let you dream about the ideal college for slackers. The situation is completely unrealistic, and would never happen, but it's cool to imagine such a thing.As the movie progress, you get whisked away from one funny thing to an other without too much thought about the logic of it all. If you shut off that part of your brain, you'll have a pleasant ride. The only elements that really bring you back to an outdated teen flick are the "evil" guys. Too archetypical.The actors are doing a fairly good job, if you take into account the tone of the movie. Lots of female eye-candy. Some feel-good philosophy. Lots of dialogs. The end has a realistic ring to it, which makes for a surprise.All in all, easy listening, and good entertainment.
