Overrated and overhyped

How sad is this?

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Well stab me in the back and call me late for dinner! I can't believe it, but I've been pleasantly surprised...and that doesn't happen often. I was looking for a laugh here-and-there and I knew that I really like Jonah Hill, so needless to say I went for it. Jonah was very funny as usual, but the surprise was Justin Long. All I will say is that I've seen him around, but this was a breakout performance and I can't wait to see him again ASAP.So, no spoilers, short and sweet. just remember to never judge a book by it's cover and check this one out for a lot of genuinely funny moments...everybody loves surprises. Enjoy.(PS...my vote was high because, quite frankly, we all need to laugh and this movie will make anyone at any age do exactly that. That's why my review was 'short & sweet'. Now stop reading and go watch it!)

I actually watched an advance preview of this film in Hollywood. I had to lie about my age to get in and pretend to be a few years younger than I actually was.So the film was aimed at the more younger market, the kids that liked the American Pie films although Accepted tries to be less raunchy and more cerebral. The main plot revolves around a group of wannabe college students who create their own fake college called the South Harmon Institute of Technology (SHIT) after being rejected from all the universities for which they applied to. Lewis Black, an unconventional teacher is roped in to act as the Dean whilst the Dean of a real college, played by Anthony Heald is their nemesis.The plot might be far-fetched but Justin Long and the leads have charm and likability. They are giving rejected students a chance to get further education and soon realise that they have a real college with real education to give. Lewis Black gives life lessons and although it lacks the bawdiness of the American Pie films, it is sporadically amusing and is amiable enough but not rip roaring funny.

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!

Bartleby is a fun loving slacker who gets turned down for every college he applies for, much to the annoyance of his expectant parents.So, he creates the South Harmon Institute of Technology, and lo and behold, he is accepted.However, his parents want to see the website, the campus, and the dean. So now he has his friend Sherman build a web page, they lease out an abandoned psychiatric hospital, and they hire Sherman's uncle Ben to be the dean.The web page was done so well, that hundreds of students show up at the front door, all of which were turned down by other colleges.Faced with no choice, Bartleby decides to proceed with turning South Harmon into a real college......Never really had any intention of seeing this movie, but it was a real treat and harks back to the high school movies of the eighties.Long is great as always and reminds one of Cusack in movies like better off dead and the sure thing. The rest of the cast are okay, but really have nothing on Long.It loses its pace toward the end, what with all the speeches about equality, and the posh school grates after a while, but with films like this, we always need a bad guy, and we always need a heart warming speech.well worth seeing though
