Customer Reviews of Accepted (Widescreen Edition)
acceptable Tired of being rejected by colleges and universities he applied to, Bartleby Baines (Justin Long) decides to create a 'fake' university, the South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.). He wants to make his parents proud of who he is, by becoming accepted at that university. With the help of some friends, he will create a too-good-to-be-true place where many students will be accepted. <

>Is it funny? Yes, most times. Clichéd? Very much so. Predictable? Definitely. <

camp accepted
This movie had the honor last summer of being relentlessly advertised - for awhile, you couldn't watch primetime without being assaulted by the clip of a fat guy wearing a hotdog costume bellowing, "Ask me about my wiener!" The movie was also memorable in how closely it resembled a chipper little movie called "Camp Nowhere," which came out some years earlier.
<
> Like "Camp Nowhere," it involves a bunch of misfits (looking old enough to be in grad school but actually supposedly first year college students) who invent their own institution (college, not camp), in order to have the time of their lives. Under the guidance of Bartleby "Symbolism Alert" Gaines, played by Justin Long, the misfits design a Web site advertising a fictional college, then proceed to turn an abandoned mental hospital into a college where students can design their own curriculum. Schools like this actually exist, by the way, so this part isn't as unbelievable as some reviewers seem to think. "Accepted," makes some valid points about how higher education has become assembly-line and that frats are evil, but somehow I couldn't stop marveling at the resemblance to "Camp Nowhere." This wasn't just me either, but if you haven't seen that movie, you'll find "Accepted" a lot more original.

<
> The fat guy character is Bartleby's best friend Schrader, played by Jonah Hill, who sets up the Web site and assists with the hijinks even though he is going to a legitimate college nearby. Eventually, he becomes disenchanted with his school because of the evil frat boys' hazing. This would have had more impact if it had shown other pledges getting hazed, too, which I assume still happens in reality. It did, as other reviewers pointed out, seem excessively mean spirited, and took away from the comedy happening at the South Harmon Institute of Technology, Bartleby's college.

<
> The Evil Dean of the legit school is naturally opposed to the upstart school setting in motion some semblance of a plot. Lewis Black is also very good, playing the "dean" of S.H.I.T. and treating the students/audiences to rants on the state of the "real world." In fact, Black and Hill pretty much upstage the Bartleby character, which isn't a problem. I found it hilarious last summer but then it was ninety plus degrees outside the theater, so perhaps the summer is the best time to rent it.
