Even the characters in the movie are saying at the beginning, 'This is crazy. This will never work.' And I'm like, you know what? You're right. It never will. Not for one second. Even in a whacky comedy like this.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Here's the final mystery about Accepted: Why title a movie that so readily invites the headline Rejected as a critical riposte?
Even though it outright plagiarizes many plot points and gags of that generational classic, Accepted can't make the leap from contrived to genuine comedy.
Go right ahead and skip this one at the Cineplex. You've got my word: It won't be on the final.
If you can lighten up for an hour and a half, the film delivers one good laugh after another.
