United States | SFGATE | "If you can lighten up for an hour and a half, the film delivers one good laugh after another." | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "After a very funny start, there just isn't enough content to fill the feature-length curriculum" | NEU |
United States | Variety | "Sweetly amusing, gently anarchic and never mean-spirited." | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Accepted will make for a passable alternative to sold-out shows of 'Snakes on a Plane,' but it's a disappointing debut for the director Steve Pink" | NEU |
United States | Miami Herald | "Even if you're willing to overlook the preposterous plot holes in its premise, Accepted pushes its luck in its final half-hour." | NEU |
United States | Philadelphia Inquirer | "Long's Bartleby appears to be the illegitimate child of Groucho Marx and Ferris Bueller, one whose schemes are far more impressive than his deeds." | NEU |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Mildly amusing at best and a criminal waste of a great concept." | NEU |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "It's an obvious nod to 'Rock 'n' Roll High School' that mostly serves as a grim reminder of how far comedies about the education system have fallen." | NEG |
