DVD Reviews of Accepted (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: Nice mindless fun
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie overall is similar to all the movies in this genre. This one has decent acting and characters that you can actually care about. It's goofy and over the top and doesn't really have any serious moments; however, the subject matter itself is thought provoking enough that it doesn't feel as inane as the style suggests. Overall, it's worth watching for some light-hearted fun.DVD Review: This movie rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 3 Stars
ACCEPTED is the latest in a long line of "slobs vs. snobs" movies; while its take is a bit more unique (a make-believe college, for cryin' out loud), it proves to be just as forgettable as all its predecessors. All the bells and whistles we find in previous meatball comedies are rehashed here (sophomoric humor, slapstick, pranks, pratfalls, and a stick-it-to-the-man finale). This is a movie that has its funny moments, its ho-hum moments, its over-the-top moments--pretty much standard fare for today's run-of-the-mill comedies. (Case in point. The name of the fictitious school is "South Harmon Institute of Technology." Guffaw.)
Justin Long does fine as the smooth talking "founder" of his make-believe college; Jonah Hill is just as adequate as his much-maligned sidekick. Lewis Black gets the juiciest lines as the students' mentor and disgruntled ex-professor, while Anthony Heald upholds the high brow stereotype of the snooty college dean. Overall ACCEPTED is fun, yet quite can't shake an inherent ambivalence. I'll give it a C+.

DVD Review: It's a Learning Tool, Seriously
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though, it's a comedy, this has aspect of "Fiere's Pedagogy of the Oppressed" educational theory as a film. This film can be used as a comedic learning tool to help explain changes that should be made in education.DVD Review: Good Comedy Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I only purchased this when the HD-DVD's came down to 5.99. So for a great price, I got a high def copy with a copy that will play in my laptop if need be.
The movie to me is the kind of typical loser teenager tries to make something of themself movie. But thats not a bad thing if done right. And for the most part, this movie is done right. It even gets the 'adult influence' right when they casted Lewis Black. I was quite pleased when I realized they weren't going to do the stupid love triangle throughout the entire movie. Once they hit the downfall of the guy, the movie picked up for me. The rally wasn't a huge rally where everyone just changes their mind and switches to the kids side, its a rally where the people were telling the kid not to do it.
The movie does have some foul language and some situations that may be inappropriate for some ages, and parents probably need to sit through it before letting their kids watch it, and I would be prepared to have questions about some topics.
The extras were pretty good, I like the inclusion of outtakes, and this had a fairly lengthy outtake reel. There were quite a few of deleted scenes, and the commentary was pretty good...
Description of Accepted (Widescreen Edition)
Unable to get accepted at college, Bartleby Gaines creates a fictitious one to impress his parents, but the word gets out and other students want to attend.No Track Information Available
Media Type: DVD
Artist: ACCEPTED
Title: ACCEPTED
Street Release Date: 05/22/2007
Genre: COMEDY VIDEO
Justin Long has been hovering on the edges of movies like The Break-Up and Dodgeball, providing little comic bursts that are often funnier than the rest of the movie. In Accepted, Long plays Bartleby Gaines, a fast-talking slacker who, when he gets rejected by every college he applied to, invents a phony college to get his parents off his back. Unfortunately, the website his best friend creates is too effective--hundreds of other rejects apply and are accepted. Instead of revealing the hoax, Gaines decides to forge ahead and let the students create their own curriculum, little suspecting that their school is obstructing the expansion plans of the nearby snobbish college. Accepted is much better than you might expect, given the low bar set by most campus comedies; it aims for, and sometimes achieves, the blend of slapstick and social satire that Animal House embodied. Long proves to be a charming leading man without losing his quirky comic sense and the supporting cast is consistently entertaining, particularly stand-up comedian Lewis Black, who delivers a variety of sardonic rants about society. Accepted's critique of conformism is glib--you wish they'd given it a little more bite--but it's still valid and a pleasant sliver of substance in an otherwise vapid genre. --Bret Fetzer
