Review of Admission (2013) by Manu G — 06 Jul 2013
Let someone in.
Good movie. The comedy is subtle, so those wanting Tina Fey's SNL goofs will be unhappy. It is not for young kids. They will be bored. It it not for the high action/adventure people. It is for folks who like an amusing story well told. Overall, it's nice entertainment.
Straitlaced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Tina Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the freewheeling John Pressman (Paul Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.
