You've seen this type of movie before, outsiders forming their own group to take on the stuffy, uptight real worlders. What's interesting about Accepted is watching the young actors (and Lewis Black) have fun with it. |

Accepted, a Mr. E Movie Review
(Run time: 90 min. - Directed by: Steve Pink - Starring: Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Adam Herschman, Columbus Short, Maria Thayer, Lewis Black)
I want to recommend to anyone who hasn't seen the comedy Accepted to check it out. This movie caught my attention a couple of years ago while surfing through the local rental store. After taking it home, popping it into my DVD player, and laughing my butt off I proceeded to purchase the movie the next day! Seriously.
The story is about a high school graduate named Bartleby Gaines, played by Justin Long, that fails to get into college and whose parents simply just don't understand why? So, instead of dissappointing them any further he invents his own college with the help of his friends. He then proceeds to fake... |

Accepted is another brainless wacky comedy, that works at first, then suffers later on. I'm a fan of wacky comedies, but not when the laughs are few and far between, that's the case here. The writing is ok, but only for a while. The cast is decent with some fun characters, but also a lot of annoying characters.
Justin Long is ok in the lead role, but Jonah Hill steals the film by delivering most of the funny dialogue. Lewis Black is also funny in an under used role. Blake Lively is charming in her role, i definitely see a bright future for her. The film is entertaining and occasionally fun, until it is ruined by an awful and unrealistic ending. |

Suprisingly Well Done! |

Accepted is one of those bizarre movies that somehow seemed to slip under my radar when it hit theaters, and it wasn't until much later that I watched it on DVD and came to appreciate it. That being said, what was I thinking when I missed it in theaters?!?! In terms of overall comedy, there have certainly been movies that made me laugh more, and also those that made me laugh much less. This one, however, finds the right balance between comedic wit and slap-stick humor. In the end, the message comes through loud and clear with one of the most inspired movie speechs I've seen lately, delivered wonderfully by Justin Long. Accepted tells you that it's okay to avoid conforming, so long as you do so to pursue what you love, and that sounds like a good plan to me! |
