Admission (trailer)

Tue, Mar 12, 2013

I like the look of this. Tina Fey and Paul Rudd together has got to be made of win. Hope I get a chance to see it soon. No U.K. release date yet, though. Damn.

share and enjoy

dare we hope that it could be an intelligent rom-com?

The movie doesn’t look that good, but I adore the two leads enough to go see it.

I liked the first forty seconds or so… even the “gifted kid” angle might work, but the “lost child” seems to pull it all closer to the rom-com singularity. Still, it’s a trailer; that might be a minor side issue that’s being emphasised to make the thing look more generic.
Paul Rudd: like Steve Guttenberg, only sometimes funny?

Just got back from the movie. It was really wonderful to see Lily Tomlin as Tina Fey’s mother and that was perfect casting. Fey and Rudd had wonderful chemistry. Movie seems to get many details right about the arduous nature of how students are selected for a top-level school like Princeton. However, the movie is careless in ways it didn’t need to be, which was frustrating.
