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

 Perfect Comedy!!! October 2, 2008
This movie is awesome and extremely funny! All the actors did a great job, such as Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Blake Lively, Lewis Black, and Maria Thayer. Everyone seems so lovable, except the bad guys. Bartleby Gains is rejected from every college he applied to, which makes his parents upset. He soon finds out that his friends, Rory, Glen, and Hands get rejected too. He soon comes up with an idea. He asks his other friend, Sherman Schrader to create a website about a new college called South Harmon Institute of Technology. Bartleby's dad sees the website and wants to see the college. Bartleby and his friends find a rundown place and fix it up to look like a college. Then, they need a Dean. Sherman's uncle is asked to play the part of the Dean. After the parents are convinced, the real trouble begins. Rejects from other colleges come to South Harmon Institute of Technology saying that they were accepted there. Bartleby feels sorry for them, so he lets them think it's real college. The Dean over at Harmon College gets mad because S.H.I.T. is where he wants to construct the Van Horne Gateway. Dean Van Horne asks Hoyt Ambrose to spy on them. Later, Bartleby is brought to the accreditation hearing to make S.H.I.T. a real college. If you love comedy, you'll love ACCEPTED!!!
Funny Movie June 11, 2008
This movie is great. It is hilarious while still having a good story. Might be especially helpful for a teenager who is not quite sure what to do with their life.
 Oh so boring. June 5, 2008
I LOVE what most would call stupid and silly movies. Love 'em. I also think Justin Long is hilarious. So I was expecting this to be a funny "silly" movie. Boy was I wrong. I was bored out of my mind. I couldn't wait for it to end! It wasn't the plot or the message, the jokes just weren't funny. At all.
 pretty funny May 25, 2008
this movie i pretty funny it's an okay movie. it's one of those stupid funnies. but its still good.
Silly film with a message.. May 20, 2008
Accepted, is a silly movie.
The premise that a kid didn't get accepted to a major university so his life is over, blah, blah blah.
The greatness in the film is its message that education is supposed to be something different than the current university program of regurgitating information and propaganda spewed by elitist professors. Do they really learn by what they are doing in this film? Well, that may be another discourse, but I enjoyed this funny movie even if it was a little juvenile.
Don't get me wrong I love education, and I love learning, it is just that a majority of college grads I meet these days have never picked up a book to read for themselves sometimes ever. And the science they are supposed to be degreed in is beyond their comprehension, but that is another rant.
So bottom line is, suspend disbelief and enjoy this funny movie, but just see if you can learn anything while you are at it.
