This film may not be of the best, but it does hit the second mark. It is moderately funny, not over the top. It has romance in it, but not to the point of it being cheesy. And, then there's how this film can be described to be quite serious but even so, there's still more to the story line. The cast was well chosen, and did a great job.The four stars are only because I felt the ending came abruptly. There were so many loose ends that needed to be tied, I wanted more.But I feel the story was good and the message that we only involve ourselves in a cause if it involves someone we love, or offers us something in return. I wasn't sure if this realisation was a good thing, or if it was to show how corrupt some systems can be, or even just that we as humans are selfish people. But then again, there's more to a film than the message it entails.

When I first watched this for the first time, I saw it 15 minutes after it started, then half an hour later, I just thought what the hell am I watching...?So I decided to watch the whole film, and after that...I really regretted it. I have never known a film that has gotten me so angry in my life. Every character is clichéd, over the top and many of them are so mean...Tina Fey is a good actress, but her character i annoying, stupid and way too silly.Paul Rudd can be funny, but he wasn't in this...Its a film that really angers me to the point of exploding, because of its mean-spirit and cringe-worthy characters and story.

Admission (2013): Dir: Paul Weitz / Cast: Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Michael Sheen, Lily Tomlin, Wallace Shawn: Admission should not be granted to anyone with any common sense. This is a romantic comedy of sorts that stars Tina Fey as an admission counsellor at a university but the title really suggests the news of a son she gave up years ago and is reintroduced to in a shot of possible motherhood. Paul Rudd plays a missions type worker who travels about the world helping orphaned children and such. He contacts Fey with the belief that one of his schooled teens is her son. He desires to enrol him in the university for which she works in hopes that maybe she will take another crack at the mother thing despite the boy's lack of knowledge of it. This becomes very irritating especially with humour that hits inappropriate timing. Fey is a fine comic talent but she is horrible here playing a character who is not only unlikeable but a decision she makes in the conclusion destroys any sympathy for her. Rudd is equally bad as a good hearted sort yet totally lacking in social standing. One poorly aimed joke regards him throwing a horse ornament on the floor. Other roles are also pathetic with not even Lily Tomlin as Fey's crass mother able to surrender any humour. Director Paul Weitz seems to be creating a female version of his About a Boy and floundering badly at it. This is the worst example of his talent. It is as if he was heavy drinking during the shoot. Its message regards a re-introductory to motherhood despite a childless lifestyle. The result is a film that should be admitted to a trash bid. Score: 2 / 10

Admission: Never watch a movie by seeing ratings reason is might b ur perception is different from others. Well i hvn't seen this movie cz of low ratings but now when i saw i liked it. Story of a gal who just won't do things cz she pretend to b happy n her life.The mere presence of Tina Fey and Paul Rudd would elevate most any script and movie. They are inherently likable and talented. So i will not regret i watched this film cz i watched many more movies which really sucks This movie shows when we did something terrible in life and we get chance to do it right....we tried our best and sometimes even more hard. It's not easy to understand young Bridget.
