I connected more with the concept a lot. Though the movie is a dramatization (as films are) and therefore it is cliché-laden, colorful and hyperbolic. But it explores an idea.

We are raised to follow certain paths, categorized and rejected if we are different and take different paths. What if a place of higher education existed where that wasn't the case?

This film explores that idea. A place of informal education and personal growth.

A legendary movie for a hangover-day, but one that I will never begrudge others for disliking. This is really not my usual sort of movie, but for whatever reason, Accepted somehow totally works for me?

Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time.

The jokes are paced so well, and there is some noticeable punch up, but it's usually... read the rest.

Forgettable, but mostly harmless.

Accepted is an insane ridiculous and charming comedy and pure dumb escapism.

Accepted thrives in its absolute ludicrous premise - college hopefuls create a fake college because they don't want their parents to know they didn't get accepted anywhere else. Everything about this movie is ridiculous, wacky, and insane, and it's so much fun! The cast boasts two young up-and-coming stars, Jonah Hill and Blake Lively, before their careers exploded into mega-stardom. Justin Long's Bartleby Gaines grows as the leader of this ragtag group of rejects, eventually gaining the attention of the popular... read the rest.

Cool concept for a movie. It would be sweet if we could pull this off for real. Epic times.
