Admission Movie Review: | |
| What is most distressing about Admission is that it serves as further evidence that Tina Fey, despite her dominance of the small screen, has not yet mastered the big one. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic This is certainly an interesting idea, though the movie is badly handicapped by Fey, who must venture beyond her usual snippiness into scenes of genuine poignancy and proves unequal to the task. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader Granted, this is not automatic laugh-riot material, nor should it be, but didn't Fey recognize how hackneyed it all is? Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor If Fey ends up making movies as good as this one over the next few years, television's loss will have been cinema's gain, for real. Glenn Kenny-MSN Movies You'll be glad you enrolled. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger This would be a good movie for a parent to watch with a high-school-age child facing down the college admissions slog-it's mildly snarky but resolutely uncynical. Dana Stevens-Slate The script was adapted from a novel but I can't imagine the book (or the characters in it) being this un-interesting. Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes So both Liz Lemon and Tina Fey got their wish. Except Liz's costs you nothing: the Grizz sitcom isn't real or asking for 100 minutes of your life. Fey's wish resulted in this movie, this dull, terrible, lifeless movie. The one where she talks to a cow. Dave White-Movies.com Career women, you will finds happiness by embracing your maternal instincts. Parents and high-school students, you are right to obsess over college. Tina Fey, continue your domestication process. These are among the depressing affirmations of 'Admission.' John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A comedy, but a serious comedy. Boo Allen-Denton Record Chronicle (TX) Fey and Rudd can't save college-bound comedy Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit While the idea of teaming Fey and Rudd sounds like a feasible one, the reality is that all this low-simmer niceness results in a movie that has absolutely no wit, bite or -- most shockingly -- moments of hilarity. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing What it [arguably] lacks in passion, Admission makes up for nicely in heart with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd at their light dramatic best. Lisa Elin-We Got This Covered A rather bland comedy that never rises above its sitcom premise. Scott Nash-Three Movie Buffs Fey is flawless as a stickler for rules, order, and over-rehearsed patter whose desperation to maintain an even keel at all times results in puckishly inappropriate behavior when things start to fall apart Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews A comedy that's not especially funny, and a satire of the college admissions culture that isn't especially incisive Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell Admission squanders its most interesting aspects, flattening them out into a tidy, dull narrative instead of running with their more outlandish aspects, or focusing deeper on the pain at the heart of the characters. Perry Seibert-TV Guide's Movie Guide When Admission is over, you're left with the feeling that you've seen something whole, complete, and enjoyable - albeit not all that memorable. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant Depending on your point of view, then, Admission is either a so-so comedy, or a quirky drama that's never fully formed. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Doris Day will be 89 in two weeks, which makes her exactly half a century too old to play the lead in Admission. That's a pity, as perhaps only she could have done it justice -- if it had been made in 1958. Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer Once Weitz makes up his mind, 'Admission' finds its voice as a drama in time to reach a satisfying conclusion. Jeffrey Westhoff-Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) [Weitz] wrings out solid humor from Portia's comic struggles to balance her professionalism with her newly unearthed maternal instincts. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune An alternately comical and thought-provoking cautionary tale that's every bit as hilarious as it is sobering. Kam Williams-AALBC.com | |
