Accepted (Combo HD DVD and Standard DVD)

  
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT
Love the movie. Could be the most underrated comedy I have ever watched. If you are a recent high school grad you know someone going threw this and it is a must watch.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Nice mindless fun
The movie overall is similar to all the movies in this genre. This one has decent acting and characters that you can actually care about. It's goofy and over the top and doesn't really have any serious moments; however, the subject matter itself is thought provoking enough that it doesn't feel as inane as the style suggests. Overall, it's worth watching for some light-hearted fun.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This movie rocks!
I got this product quickly, it's in decent shape, and plays fine. It's all I needed to get a good laugh!!


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ehhhhhhhh
ACCEPTED is the latest in a long line of "slobs vs. snobs" movies; while its take is a bit more unique (a make-believe college, for cryin' out loud), it proves to be just as forgettable as all its predecessors. All the bells and whistles we find in previous meatball comedies are rehashed here (sophomoric humor, slapstick, pranks, pratfalls, and a stick-it-to-the-man finale). This is a movie that has its funny moments, its ho-hum moments, its over-the-top moments--pretty much standard fare for today's run-of-the-mill comedies. (Case in point. The name of the fictitious school is "South Harmon Institute of Technology." Guffaw.)

Justin Long does fine as the smooth talking "founder" of his make-believe college; Jonah Hill is just as adequate as his much-maligned sidekick. Lewis Black gets the juiciest lines as the students' mentor and disgruntled ex-professor, while Anthony Heald upholds the high brow stereotype of the snooty college dean. Overall ACCEPTED is fun, yet quite can't shake an inherent ambivalence. I'll give it a C+.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's a Learning Tool, Seriously
Even though, it's a comedy, this has aspect of "Fiere's Pedagogy of the Oppressed" educational theory as a film. This film can be used as a comedic learning tool to help explain changes that should be made in education.
