Let me start by saying that there's really no reason to watch this movie. I only sat through it because I was trying to kill some time before going to work.

Basically, it's your typical sophomoric "comedy" aimed at the teenage set. There's nothing remarkable about it other than the complete ridiculousness of the story, not to mention that there are plot holes big enough to sail a Carnival cruise-liner through. Obviously this isn't supposed to be a realistic movie, it's supposed to be funny. Sadly, it mostly fails on that count as well. I must admit that I laughed a few times, but mainly in a "holy sh*t, I can't believe how stupid this is" kind of way.

If you never see this movie you're not missing a thing.

As far as teen comedies go, this takes the genre to a whole new level. It's filled with crude scenarios and toilet humor, and succeeds in producing another movie that will turn people off from comedy.

What happened to the great comedies of the past? Did anyone see 'Groundhog Day?' It was funnier and had tons more heart.

"Accepted" focuses itself around the life and troubles of a bunch of frustrated teenagers who couldn't get in to college. Obviously, no one told them to check out community college. The majority of the movie is kind of an anti-climax, so for the duration we see the guys making preperations and attempting to make it through.

Not good from the producer of the excellent comedy 'Bruce Almighty'.

There are a few funny jokes in this movie. Only a few. This is a tired loser script of the usual 20 somethings posing as teens banding together to make a crazy thing come together. Of course their competitor and bad guy is the rich good looking guy who has the hot girlfriend that is on the fence about dating our hero.

Whoooo boy!.. we've seen this college campus jokes script before, only it was funny and called Van Wilder.

If you get completely stoned and drunk and watch this movie- you will be able to survive it and enjoy it.

Otherwise you will be fast forwarding a lot to get to what might be a good joke.

THe Skin factor is not here either- there's some teases in bikinis that's all.

This is like a non-fat, diet version of comedy. Designed to try and offend no one but in the process has very little entertainment value.

I liked the friend characters- with the exception of the blatant politically correct worthless additions - the artsy girl, and we have TOKEN the black friend which is lame and not required and adds zero humor and actually reduces the humor quotient since artsy girl and token black friend are worthless as comedians.

PLOT: A guy who can't get accepted to college makes a fictional college and things get out of hand. Somehow, during this entire thing- not a single student beats the crap out of another, gets busted by the police or rats him out to their parents.

Saturday Night Live did a skit on this very idea many years ago when Billy Crystal was a staff member. Accepted clearly draws upon the SNL skit for its premise (though not mentioned anywhere) and other ideas, as well as other "teen" movies. There are some funny parts in Accepted, but it does not hang together well at all. Animal House, the king of all college movies, had a cast of interesting characters that were developed through dialog and non-joke scenes. Accepted forgets all that and just goes for the simple and easy laugh. A little more character development would make the jokes funnier and the entire movie more interesting. The acting is fine, but the directing is a little loose and the timing is not sharp. By not having a developed plot or developed characters, the movie fails to consistently entertain. It's worth catching on video when your first five choices are checked out, but definitely not worth full price.

The main idea and maybe a whole story is good too (I have seen just first 30 minutes), but execution is very very bad. All main characters behave like an idiots (it does not work even as a parody for a "university student films"). Characters should be just "little bit different" in a way of thinking or how they do a regular things. Jokes are rude. Maybe US viewers consider that as a funny.

Pretty dumb. cheesy story. not very funny. jonah hill was about the only funny thing in this movie, and he didn't even have that many parts. the good thing for justin long is that he still got to show that he's a pretty good actor in this pretty terrible movie (2 viewings)

This movie has an half baked idea with a lot of flaws in script and story line.

It does contain funny moments here and there but as a whole, it's a rather weak exhibition of old jokes and one liners. Even few of the comic characters don't get to do their jobs which we end up wondering so what happened to jokes that we were expecting to come?!

Cinematography is actually decent as well as music . Acting are very predictable and caricaturized(sp?) in an obvious way majority of time. The ending is rather long and without much comic relief. It's worth borrowing from your library (free of charge!) when there is nothing else there to borrow and you are up to few silly laughs.

I saw this movie first I'm my mid twenties and it was fun. It's only now that I'm watching it again I realize how truly idiotic it is. This is the quintessential millennial movie: accomplish nothing and somehow it's applauded. Throw in Lewis Black, the dunce of comedy, and you can read between the lines. Sure it has it's funny moments, but it's essentially propaganda for the issues we face today: laziness. In real life, you don't get a participation trophy for failing.

When the movie starts it has a funny tone but it quickly disappears. The kids create a fake college for their parents since they failed entering a real one. Then 300 other kids sing up in this college. The "creators" and the students act like it's a real college. And the rest of the movie is so predictable. I'm not going to spoil anything but think of the coherence: fake college with no license, parents, "enemy" college near them that wants the property. And in the background a love story of the protagonist.

Many Hollywood movies, mostly teenage movies, lack of realism. But this one had gone too far. Cheesy dialogs, repeated jokes and a highly unrealistic scenario is what this movie is all about.

The moral that's "necessary", through a wild and inspiring monologue, in every movie is so ridiculous that'll probably make any academic who watches this movie want to sue the writer.

Suitable for ages 12 to 16.

a piece of cake according to this movie. The whole idea of a several kids starting their own college was just too over-the-top. It goes beyond unbelievability. A college reject chooses to lie to his parents and say he was accepted to a made up college. He gets his friend to make a website for the college. Well, hundreds of kids who were rejected from every college they applied to show up to attend this school since clinking an "accept" button on the website was all you had to do to enroll. So, they use an old mental hospital as the school. They set up beds, cafeteria, and basically an all out party mode. They got a pool, hot girls, an ADD nerd, etc... The school up the street wants to take over and the dean does what he can to find out about this "new" college. And all the good guys win in the end.

It wasn't that funny. And there is no one famous in this.

FINAL VERDICT: This is only for adolescent teens. Otherwise don't watch it.
