Review:
I would have actually classified Admission as more of a drama than a comedy. It has very little comedy in it. The story is very predictable. I guessed the "big twist" long before it was revealed. Tina Fey's character is a college admissions worker for Princeton University. Paul Rudd's character, who runs a private school, introduces her to student that is not typically Princeton material. After connecting with a student, she bends the rules to try to get him into Princeton.
The one thing I do like about this film is that it portrays an accurate depiction of the politics of academia. I like what the movie reveals about the administrative side of universities.
All in all, this movie was just alright. It wasn't great. It wasn't even that funny. I'm glad I waited to see it on video because I would have felt cheated to have spent $8 at the theatre to see it. Once again, my major issue with this movie is its predictability. Tina Fey can do much better. So can Paul Rudd.
