    The author of Mr. Roberts Wrote it in longhand And sent it out. Repeated rejections. Then one of the rejections sent a typewriter. He typed it and tried again. Accepted. It became an award-winning book ...and movie. Find it and watch it some time.

    Me: “Essentially, the Justin Long movie Accepted is an aged up version of the ‘No parents! We can do what we want!’ kids’ movies of the 90s. It’s Camp Nowhere with booze and drugs.” Kaycee: “Huh. Is there an adult version of that type of movie?” Me: “…….. The Purge.”

  • The Movie Mob @mooney240TMDB reviews · Sep 17, 2022

    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…

    Fantastic watch, will definitely watch again, and can recommend. I've watch this movie so many times, and it's probably one of my favorite movies. With the ridiculous premise that you have to go to college, what happens to the qualified people that don't get in: they make their own way, literally. Just the concept of doing something like this is fascinating, and with the cast, the delivery is amazing: Justin Long, Blake Lively, Maria Thayer, (fat) Jonah Hill, Lewis Black, and even a young…

    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.

  • YouShouldKnow @YouShouldKnowTMDB reviews · May 15, 2018

    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.
