Very disappointing...

Sick Product of a Sick System

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This film may not be of the best, but it does hit the second mark. It is moderately funny, not over the top. It has romance in it, but not to the point of it being cheesy. And, then there's how this film can be described to be quite serious but even so, there's still more to the story line. The cast was well chosen, and did a great job.The four stars are only because I felt the ending came abruptly. There were so many loose ends that needed to be tied, I wanted more.But I feel the story was good and the message that we only involve ourselves in a cause if it involves someone we love, or offers us something in return. I wasn't sure if this realisation was a good thing, or if it was to show how corrupt some systems can be, or even just that we as humans are selfish people. But then again, there's more to a film than the message it entails.

I like this type of movie. Not too heavy, no one murdered, blown up, killed, poisoned, or decapitated, which seems to be the drawing point of most modern movies. I thought Tina Fey was really good in this and it suited her very well. So was Paul Rudd. It was good to see Lily Tomlin in this film as well, and as usual Wallace Shaw is as good as always. I found a few thing just a little off putting. Seriously,, the old white guy adopts black kid thing again? Wow,, a little overdone don't you think? We got that out of our system during the Different Stokes era. Also, the kid was not Princeton material, let alone any college material. Come on,,a cheesy dummy act was his special talent? If anything, it just makes you realize why you shouldn't send your kids to Princeton U. That school only turns out people like those who have already gone there. Rich brats who get in when the parents grease the right palm. But as movies go, this was okay.

Admission (2013): Dir: Paul Weitz / Cast: Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Michael Sheen, Lily Tomlin, Wallace Shawn: Admission should not be granted to anyone with any common sense. This is a romantic comedy of sorts that stars Tina Fey as an admission counsellor at a university but the title really suggests the news of a son she gave up years ago and is reintroduced to in a shot of possible motherhood. Paul Rudd plays a missions type worker who travels about the world helping orphaned children and such. He contacts Fey with the belief that one of his schooled teens is her son. He desires to enrol him in the university for which she works in hopes that maybe she will take another crack at the mother thing despite the boy's lack of knowledge of it. This becomes very irritating especially with humour that hits inappropriate timing. Fey is a fine comic talent but she is horrible here playing a character who is not only unlikeable but a decision she makes in the conclusion destroys any sympathy for her. Rudd is equally bad as a good hearted sort yet totally lacking in social standing. One poorly aimed joke regards him throwing a horse ornament on the floor. Other roles are also pathetic with not even Lily Tomlin as Fey's crass mother able to surrender any humour. Director Paul Weitz seems to be creating a female version of his About a Boy and floundering badly at it. This is the worst example of his talent. It is as if he was heavy drinking during the shoot. Its message regards a re-introductory to motherhood despite a childless lifestyle. The result is a film that should be admitted to a trash bid. Score: 2 / 10

Admission was rated rape-free by rapefreemovies. It does not include any mention, attempt or fact of sexual violence.Review: I wasn't expecting much from this comedy, but I was positively surprised in the end. Let's face it: there is nothing new there. Though the characters are true and attaching, and the story has some unexpected turns. This is the kind of movie you like because it just makes you feel so good, nice and positive! The movie also talks about education, and how today kids are formatted, and any kind of different intelligence underestimated, which I haven't seen often actually.
