XMAS PICK Accepted
DVD Overview
Higher education hits an all-time low when Accepted, the hilariously irreverent comedy hit about a loveable group of misfit slackers who create their own college, comes to DVD on November 14, 2006 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment, the studio that brought you American Pie, Universal Studios Home Entertainment. With a cast of fresh young faces including Justin Long (The Break-Up, Herbie Fully Loaded, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story), Jonah Hill (Click, The 40 Year Old Virgin), Blake Lively (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), Maria Thayer (Hitch), and Columbus Short (War of the Worlds) plus veterans Anthony Heald (X Men: Last Stand), Lewis Black ("The Daily Show with Jon Stewart") and Mark Derwin ("Boston Legal"), Accepted is a frat party of a film, complete with raucous and raunchy laughs. In his directing debut, High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank screenwriter Steve Pink has created a boldfaced, nose-thumbing campus farce, guaranteed to keep audiences laughing long after the credits roll. Produced by Tom Shadyac and Michael Bostick - the collaborators behind the forthcoming comedy feature film Evan Almighty, as well as previous comedy blockbusters Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar - the Accepted DVD contains more than an hour of hilarious bonus features including scenes too out of control for the theatrical version, sidesplitting outtakes, exclusive downloadable MP3s and insider commentary from the stars and director.
Synopsis
High schooler Bartleby Gaines ('B' to his friends) is on his way to scoring a perfect eight out of eight college rejection letters-which isn't going to go over big with his parents. At least, he's not alone-several of his posse of oddball friends are in the same, college-less boat. What's a guy, facing down a lifetime career as a convenience store clerk, going to do? Create his own college, of course. B calls in some friendly favors-has a techie bud build a website, convinces another friend's burnout uncle to pose as the dean and organizes a clean-up/building party at a local abandoned mental hospital-and South Harmon Institute of Technology is born. Just as B and his fellow South Harmon classmen are settling into their charade, they realize they've done their jobs too well as dozens of other college rejects show up for classes at this off-the-radar institute. Under the scornful eyes of the privileged students and faculty from the neighboring college, B and friends forge ahead with maintaining a functioning (and fake) university. Their effort to keep up the ruse quickly escalates into a battle between the have-nots of South Harmon and the have-snots of their 'sister' school-higher learning has never stooped so low.
