ACCEPTED At Last! A Desire to Better Themselves.
This is a modern-day remake of the old John Belushi movie about college, only without the pranks. Justin was much better on the eyes than fat John. My Justin would have fit right in with this group with the skateboarding antics and splashing in the pool. Kaleena and Chrissy are as beautiful as the California girls and will be exceptional some day, Kaleen with her ballet training in Cincinnati and Chris with her dynamic bubbling personality. Both have blue eyes and natural blonde hair. Look out!

Young people need to feel that they have been accepted. Not all will be by their first choice of college, many will never be accepted due to a technacality. This group of misfits start their own dream school and it ends up being a success and making a difference in the lives of at least 300 students. See the movie "Accepted" it will inspire even the most mundane of educators. I was in a college environment for 22 years, I know.

In the movie, we watch a college on paper evolve into a real school where the students not only have fun, but learn what they need for the future. B.Gaines had suffered through eight or more rejection letters and his parents insisted that all normal people go to college -- any college. With a core of six or seven, all of whom had be rejected, the set up a dummy college with a false web site to pacify his disappointed parents. They found an abandoned psychiatric hospital on the fringes of a real college, complete with a padded room. They had a ball renovating it themselves and a bunch of internet weirdos, all misfits, were accepted. Seventy four showed up for classes but by the end of the year, there were 300 students all having the time of their lives. Do you know what it's like to be rejected? It hurts. When you are judged by the color of skin, it is an adbomination and evolution is not as important now as the persons who populate the earth, and this fantastic school. It was started as a joke, but evolved into an experiment project like the pilot one.

It started out as a play school with their books purchased from Amazon. It was a party school like UT-K, and a nerd educator called the students of this experimental style of college "freaks at the looney bin." Their school was shut down as a sham, a fraud, but Dr. Jack Alexander decided it was a clever idea, as the students and the founders had a desire to better themselves. They had been humiliated by being judged on their looks and not their abilities. Dr. Alex admitted that he had always wanted to play jazz trombone.

One of the main students turned out to have been a real female "escort" not the kind C. Southcott says he will be in Hawaii. I don't think he will even go on that tour. Your sometimes trust the wrong person whose actions strip you of your dignity temporarily. They started a new Pilot program at the fictitious college which evolved into a very popular real school. It's not just about us anymore. No matter how you try to wing it, circumstances always intervene into scams and tortures. They will be found out. Touche. When you reach desperation, you invent possibilities for the future not only for you but for those involved in hoping for the same conclusion. It was an unconsciencable thing to even contemplate, but elation, creation, determination, reinvarnation, identification, retaliation, desperation, amortization all theorectically lead one to make new rules for a new kind of process. A school built on determination to make good for the misfits of this world. Bartably was anything but a misfit; he may have just had average mentality, but he had the spirit of an innovator and achieved the impossible. He was the star witness and wowed the judges.

Has not aged well
This film provides a few chuckles, but that is about all. Aside from three or four scenes featuring John Belushi (the food fight not being one of them), I don't find it at all funny. Perhaps I witnessed too many frat boy shenanigans while in college, but in this movie these seem more irritating than they do amusing. I don't find myself caring about any of the shallow, one dimensional characters and it drags on way too long at the end. The section at the very end, which shows what happens to each character in the future, might have been novel at the time. Now, however, it comes across as a cliché, and a not very funny one at that.

Totally awesome!!!
Awesome College Movie. My only regret is that I did not see this movie during my college years. Alas, they have the DVD now!

Yay!
