Mr Black 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.

inspectors71 I have to admit it (no pun intended) that I love writing my snotty little reviews on IMDb. It's a release; no guilt here.Therefore, I won't be snotty when I tell you that, other than appreciating Tina Fey's pretty face, Admission is utterly forgettable. I saw the movie with my wife when it came out, and I had to read the synopsis to remember some of the details of the plot.Oh, well.It's something of a message movie and a chick flick and a heart- warmer, and darned if I know why it didn't gel. It had all the things that make a movie a ticket-seller--attractive performers and tugged heart-strings, but, here it is three years later, and I just don't have any positive feelings about Admission.I'm wondering if it's the fact that I am, as a high school teacher, and a blue-collar-focused one at that, increasingly anti-college. Why would anyone want to spend that much money for a 4 year degree? Why would anyone want to, even with a full-ride, not get a job and earn one's general university requirements from the most inexpensive community college one could find?I think that's it. While so many folks are wrapped up in getting their kiddies into the best universities with the best reputations and the best safe places without micro-aggressions, I want kids to get to work living, earning the money for each credit, and feeling that they can give themselves the credit for being grown-ups as soon as possible after high school.Maybe that's why Paul Rudd and Tina Fey dropped off my radar as I went through the theater door after the flick. I didn't care and I don't care about anything in this movie except maybe . . . when Fey gets photographed from behind, were they trying to hide her butt? Is that a micro-aggression?

FlashCallahan Admissions officer Portia is caught off-guard when she makes a visit to an alternative high school overseen by John Pressman. He has come to the conclusion that Jeremiah, his most gifted student, might well be the son that Portia gave up for adoption. Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted, but in the process finding a surprising and exhilarating life and she never dreamt of.....A film starring Fey and Rudd, would expected to be a funny, not too serious time to be had at the cinema, and from the one sheet, and the trailer, you would be forgiven if you thought you would get an Apatow light style comedy.Now while it's by no means a bad film, it's a pretty dark and at times, quite a depressing film to watch.Fey plays the woman who has literally everything go wrong for her that could possibly go wrong for her in the context of the narrative, and although it's common for this to happen in a romantic comedy to begin with, after a while, it makes for a pretty depressing character.Rudd plays the same character that makes him so likable, and here, he's on autopilot, but fine.The funniest parts of the film are the recurring joke featuring Sheen thinking that Fey is upset because he has dumped her, the comedy old man with the funny accent, and Lily Tomlin as the token special guest star.It's nothing new, but it passes the time, but it is clear to see why it bombed so badly.
