Reviews for this film from our members:
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: It is neither a broad comedy nor a dopey rom-com; it’s actually, surprisingly enough, a seriocomic drama in something resembling the Alexander Payne mold, a slightly eccentric examination of flawed people doing their very best.
- Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com
- Excerpt: The best way to describe the film is “mild.” The laughs are mild, the romance is mild, the intellectualism is mild and the viewer should leave mildly satisfied.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: An engaging dramedy about a college admissions officer who suddenly finds herself adrift on a sea of difficulties which test her identity and deepest values.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: there’s more warmth than sizzle between Fey and Rudd and the film is neither fish nor fowl – it should have been much funnier or much edgier. Like Fey, Weitz seems content not rocking the boat
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Through it all … there are threads of emotional honesty.
- [New – 11/7] | MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A romantic dramedy about a passionate erudite oddball woman with her own life? Hooray!
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Josh Larsen @ LarsenOnFilm.com
- Excerpt: Make up your mind, Admission. Do you want to go to Princeton or not?
- Frank Ochieng @ Yahoo! Voices Movies
- Excerpt: Finding collegiate comedy gold about a Princeton admissions screener is probably the toughest homework assignment yet. The results are pretty much lackluster as Admission simply does not make the grade.
- R. Kurt Osenlund @ Slant Magazine
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Much less clever than one might hope…deserves to be relegated to your waiting list.
