Are you accepted?

Hey! so i definitly have no clue what I'm doing lol but o well. I recently saw this movie, Accepted. I honestly loved it. For those who haven't seen it yet, I definitly recommend to. I know that my humor may differ from one with a high education, but i truly think everyone should see this movie.

This movie is about a student who just graduated highschool and just like anyother student, he applied to colleges. After a while, he got acceptance letters telling him he has not been admitted to the college. The last letter came in and he was once again, rejected. His parents were dissapointed in him and thought of him as a failure. The main character couldnt let his parents down so he decided to get all his freinds together and get a pretend college to just keep his parents off his back for a while. He created an acceptance letter for the college named South Harmon Institute of Technology... yes SHIT. It was sopposed to be the sister college of South Harmon... a real insitute. He got the whole hoax past his parents and an unexpected thing happened. About a thousand Kids showed up at the front door saying that they got accepted in their school. The main character had to figure things out. Does everything work out? I'll leave it to you to go and make sure you see this movie.

This link is telling people this movie was horrible. Here is a direct quote showing how they feel towards the film-The story is brainless and unbelievable, the characters are all stereotyped, and there is nothing real in this movie. None of the relationships are convincing, and the ending is far too contrived. The only parallel to a real college experience in Accepted is when Dean Lewis, the fake dean of South Harmon Institute of Technology, says to a set of parents, "Look, we throw a lot of fancy words in front of these kids in order to attract them to going to school in the belief that they're gonna have a better life, and we know that all we are doing is breeding a whole new generation of buyers and sellers, pimps and whores and indoctrinating them into a life long hell of debt and indecision." I picked this link because what the critics are saying are the exact type of people that the movie characters are trying to rebel against. I thought this movie was great. It was a knock off of Animal House. If you liked that classic... you should hopefully enjoy this one.
