"Accepted" is about a small band of high school graduates, led by Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long), that began a college. They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, these kids were all rejected from known universities and had to concoct a plan to stave off parental accosting (I guess junior colleges didn't exist in this town). Coincidentally (or not coincidentally) this very thing occurred in Germany in 1948.This movie was mildly funny and really if it weren't for Jonah Hill it would not have been that. Justin Long's style and the played out clichés just didn't do it for me. What clichés? Well, he was rejected by Harmon College which, of course, is full of wealthy xenophobic WASPs who wouldn't even urinate on you if you were on fire if you don't fit their mold. Harmon College and its attendees were the typical over-the-top bourgeois, nose-in-the-air, stuck up group which give the undying impression that all rich people are a-holes. And Bartleby, or B, was the quirky, witty, cliché individualist that flies in the face of the establishment. In other words, a Hollywood plot we've all seen a thousand times.That's not to say that the movie was a total bust and not worth watching. Like I stated, Johan Hill as Sherman Schrader was great. It was interesting enough to see how big he used to be. Lewis Black, for those who like him, was in classic form. The movie had good moments and provided a solid story of a school started by students. It's just Justin Long and the redressed "Revenge of the Nerds" that I didn't like.

Accepted will let you dream about the ideal college for slackers. The situation is completely unrealistic, and would never happen, but it's cool to imagine such a thing.As the movie progress, you get whisked away from one funny thing to an other without too much thought about the logic of it all. If you shut off that part of your brain, you'll have a pleasant ride. The only elements that really bring you back to an outdated teen flick are the "evil" guys. Too archetypical.The actors are doing a fairly good job, if you take into account the tone of the movie. Lots of female eye-candy. Some feel-good philosophy. Lots of dialogs. The end has a realistic ring to it, which makes for a surprise.All in all, easy listening, and good entertainment.

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
