'Accept' this movie

I must say I definitely underestimated this movie. Knowing that it was written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, the writers of the Olsen twins' "New York Minute," I expected nothing from this movie and went in with the attitude that it would suck. To my surprise, this teen flick was nothing but hilarious.\n"Accepted" is a college version of the 1994 hit "Camp Nowhere". Bartleby "B" Gaines ("Dodgeball's" Justin Long) is a high school senior who's always able to find excuses out of every problem he gets himself into. The only problem Bartleby can't seem to fix is that he has been rejected from every college he has applied to. Upon telling the news to his parents, who are disappointed and insistent he attend college, Bartleby comes up with a master plan to get his parents off his back: getting accepted into the South Harmon Institute of Technology, a college he created himself.\nThe plan starts out innocently. Bartleby sends himself an acceptance letter to please his parents, but knowing that his dad will become curious, Bartleby has his friend Schrader (Jonah Hill, "Grandma's Boy") create a Web site that turns out to be a bit too convincing. Bartleby teams up with his friends Rory (Maria Thayer), who was rejected from her dream school Yale, and Hands (Columbus Short), an athlete who didn't receive a scholarship, to turn a vacant psychiatric facility into the S.H.I.T. campus where they will be the only students. Unfortunately it seems that the "we accept anyone" motto seen on the Web site has been taken a bit too seriously by a handful of college hopefuls who were also rejected by every other college and show up ready to attend the South Harmon Institute of Technology.\nBartleby uses the money sent to him for tuition to turn the school into one where the students create their own curriculum and spend their time partying. He even hires Uncle Ben (comedian Lewis Black) to be the dean of the college. But all parties must come to an end and when the dean from Harmon College learns that South Harmon is not an accredited college and does everything possible to close the "school" down.\nBartleby is Justin Long's first lead role and he plays it well. He is both witty and charming. The supporting cast in "Accepted" adds to the comedy. Jonah Hill is great as Sherman Schrader, Bartleby's only friend who plans on attending college. And Lewis Black is ridiculously funny as the low-life Uncle Ben, who gives outrageous advice to the students. "Accepted" is a refreshing teen flick that doesn't just focus on a love story.
