Accepted is an enjoyable comedy, although a little hard to believe. Bartelby B. Gaines is a high school senior who has one major problem. He hasn’t been accepted into any of the college and university’s that he applied to, not even the state university that was his fall back choice. Tired of not having an answer for the “Where are you going?†question and dismayed at disappointing his parents Bartely B. comes up with an idea. In the beginning it’s just an acceptance letter. He creates a letter stating that he was accepted to South Harmon Institute of Technology. He even has his friend create a website. Then he starts to think his idea might really work. When his father hands him a check to pay his tuition in full he decides to create a real college. He leases an old dilapidated school building that was once a mental facility and creates a college—dorm rooms and all. The plan just keeps going and going. Students enroll and they even find a dean. Before he knows it he has thousands of students show up at the made up school.
The film is hilarious and comes from the same studio that released American Pie.
