Product Description

Tina Fey (Date Night, 30 Rock) and Paul Rudd (I Love You Man, Knocked Up) star in Admission, the new film directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Weitz (About a Boy), about the surprising detours we encounter on the road to happiness. Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman (Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted -- but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.

Customer Reviews

Tina never fails – however, the movie is cookie-cutter pedestrian

The movie gets its title from the occupation of the main character, Portia Nathan, played by Tina Fey. The admissions counselor finds that the potential student, Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), is her long-lost son. In the process of kibitzing him, she learns more about herself, her family, and possibly life in general. The only comedy is situational, and the situations are not all that funny. Paying close attention, we may also learn about family and possibly life in general. However, it is not worth the effort of going through the movie. There is nothing negative but on the other hand, there is nothing.
