From the producer of Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar comes a whole new school of thought: Accepted. When every college turns him down, Bartleby "B" Gaines decides to make one up. Welcome to the South Harmon Institute of Technology, where the students teach the classes, the dean lives in a trailer in the back, and Bartleby's on the way to scoring with the girl of his dreams. It's a raunchy, rowdy, flat-out funny college comedy that critics are calling "freakin' hilarious" (Steven Chupnick, MovieWeb.com)!BONUS MATERIALS :Picture in Picture Commentary with Steve Pink, Justin Long, Lewis Black, Jonah Hill and Adam HerschmanProduction PhotographsAdam's Accepted ChroniclesReject Rejection: The Making of AcceptedSelf-Guided Campus Tour"Hangin' on the Half Pipe" Music VideoThe Ringers - "Keeping Your Heads Up" Music VideoFeature Commentary with Director Steve Pink, Justin Long, Lewis Black, Jonah Hill and Adam HerschmanDeleted ScenesGag ReelSystem Requirements:Run Time: 93 minsFormat: HD DVD

"ACCEPTED's winning dumbness and breezy bon mots save it from the pit..." -- Grade: B- 08/25/2006 p.64Variety 7 of 10
Acceptable as a slab of teen-targeted summer fare, "Accepted" is a cheerfully implausible underdog comedy about several college rejects who invent a phony alma mater, only to find themselves paying way more than just tuition. Conceived in the same authority-defying, loser-uniting vein as a mainstream Richard Linklater picture...As a misfit-empowering comedy that embraces the stragglers and fringe-dwellers of teen society, "Accepted" is sweetly amusing, gently anarchic and never mean-spirited. But as it winds toward its final showdown between South Harmon and a state accreditation board, its attempts to make an inspiring, grand statement about mediocrity as a legitimate form of personal expression feel awfully threadbare. - Justin Chang
San Francisco Chronicle 8 of 10
"Accepted" is the perfect comedy for moviegoers who prefer not to think too much. The plot exists in an alternate reality where there's no such thing as a junior college, actor Justin Long is about a decade too old to play his high school graduate character and wild coincidence always trumps logic when it's time to move the story forward...Lewis Black is great as a burnout ex-professor who becomes the school's dean, and Blake Lively is sufficiently lovely as Bartleby's love interest..."Accepted" isn't the next "Animal House," but it definitely could qualify as the next "PCU," which still makes it better than 85 percent of the comedies aimed at this demographic. - Peter Hartlaub
