senior Bartleby "B" Gaines (Justin Long) is on his way to
scoring eight out of eight rejection letters from
colleges-which isn't going to go over big with Mom and Dad. At
least he's not alone in the exclusion. Several of his crew of
outcast friends are in the same, college-less boat.
Sohow does a guy facing a bleak career please his
parents and get noticed by dream girl Monica (Blake Lively)?
Simple. Open his own university. B and his band of misfit
freshmen take "liberal" arts literally when they fool their
parents and peers and create the esteemed South Harmon
Institute of Technology. They clean up an abandoned psychiatric
facility, employ a buddy's brilliant-but subversive-uncle
(Lewis Black) as the dean and create a fake web site as their
campus calling card. Bam! South Harmon, the alternative school
of higher learning, is born. Just as they are settling in, B
and company realize they've done their jobs too well. Dozens of
other college rejects show up for classes at this
less-than-lofty institute. Under the scornful eyes of the
privileged students from the neighboring college, B and his
friends forge ahead with maintaining a fake, functioning
university. Their efforts to explore alternative education
result in a battle between the South Harmon co-eds and the
"sister" school snobs. With his future in the balance, it's
going to take more than just sleight of hand to keep B out of
jail as he strives to get the girl, impress his parents and
just becomeAccepted. Accepted is produced by Tom
Shadyac (Bruce Almighty, Liar Liar, The Nutty Professor) and
Michael Bostick (Bruce Almighty, Liar Liar) and is directed by
Steve Pink (writer of High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank in
his feature film directorial debut). It is written by Mark
Perez, Adam Cooper & Bill Collage. Contact: Dan Ferguson
