Synopsis:
High schooler Bartleby Gaines is on his way to scoring a perfect eight out of eight college rejection letters - which isn't going to go over big with his parents. At least, he's not alone-several of his posse of oddball friends are in the same, college-less boat. What's a guy, facing down a lifetime career as a convenience store clerk, going to do? Create his own college, of course! "Accepted" is produced by Tom Shadyac ("Bruce Almighty") and Michael Bostick and is directed by Steve Pink (writer of "High Fidelity" and "Grosse Pointe Blank") in his feature film directorial debut.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Box office analysts are not betting that director Steve Pink's teen comedy Accepted will find much acceptance from ticket buyers this weekend. The same can be said of the critics, who mostly bestowed so-so reviews on the film, about a high-school grad who invents his own college on the Internet when he is turned down by the colleges that he applied for. Carrie Rickey in the Philadelphia Inquirer says that the film starts off promisingly enough but in the end, "comes off as sophomoric." Likewise, Elizabeth Weitzman writes in the New York Daily News: "Like its underachieving protagonist, Steve Pink's teen comedy Accepted flashes just enough charm to get by but is too lazy to really make anything of itself." Stephen Williams in Newsday finds the premise of the movie disconcerting: "that self-indulgence is a substitute for structured education, or, more to the point, that it's a substitute for life." But Ty Burr in the Boston Globe writes that it's a mistake to take Accepted too seriously. He writes: "The movie plays like Animal House extra-lite, and as such it's decent indecent fun."
