Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle | Peter Hartlaub

If you can lighten up for an hour and a half, the film delivers one good laugh after another.

Variety | Justin Chang

Sweetly amusing, gently anarchic and never mean-spirited.

Accepted's winning dumbness and breezy bons mots save it from the pit.

Boston Globe | Ty Burr

Low of brow and pure of heart, the movie plays like "Animal House" extra-lite, and as such it's decent indecent fun.

The Hollywood Reporter | Michael Rechtshaffen

After a very funny start, there just isn't enough content to fill the feature-length curriculum.

Mostly, it wallows in partying with a capital P.

Accepted will make for a passable alternative to sold-out shows of "Snakes on a Plane," but it's a disappointing debut for the director Steve Pink.

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Keith Phipps

The ideal viewer of Accepted probably won't have seen any college comedies before. Or any slobs-vs.-snobs movies like "Caddyshack." For those who have, it's kind of a snore.

Washington Post | Adriane Quinlan

Take the cast of 1978's "Animal House" and 1984's "Revenge of the Nerds," toss them on a desert island, watch them breed and enroll their raucous, kvetching offspring at a college for rejects. A fluffy teen comedy, Accepted gets annoying fast.

Wall Street Journal | Joanne Kaufman

Go right ahead and skip this one at the Cineplex. You've got my word: It won't be on the final.

actually great

"When I saw the previews I thought this was the most stupidest movie of all time,like a Will Ferrell.Even after my younger siblings saw this I had evil thoughts about it.Then, one day, they forced me to watch this and I swear I've never laughed,save enjoyed, a movie so much.And I haven't been happy in a while."

Great Movie, And Great Moral!

"I loved the movie because it was funny, repeat, VERY FUNNY. But it also had a wonderful moral, it told people that go to a college that opens possiblties for you. Not that just that your parent's went to it or it's part of "generation""

Overrated

"The characters in this movie are predictable and easily predictable if you have seen any college movie or "preps" v. "losers" movie. This movie is poorly written and we found ourselves laughing at the movie rather than the jokes in the movie."

Feel Accepted

"Great movie, college wasnt made for teenagers to find a good job and help them get a high pay. College was made to help them better themselves out in the world, whether thats learning the way of law, or skating down a half pipe. Accepted just shows that everybody has a place in the world and they can be accepted for their passions and talents."

Same As Infernal Affairs.

"Great movie but i felt like as if i saw this movie already and i did. About 3 years ago i think. It's the same movie as the Chinese Movie called Infernal Affair only difference is that the acting is different. But everything else was the same. I honestly like the Chinese version better. By the way you can get Infenal Affair 1,2,3,4. All very good stories."
