Bartleby, played by Justin Long, has received eight rejection letters from colleges. His parents are very disappointed and B does not know what he is going to do when everyone else leaves for college. A few of B’s friends are in the same “rejection boat”. B decides to write his own acceptance letter to a made up school, the South Harmon Institute of Technology (think of the anagram). Several of his friends do the same thing. Problems arise when the parents want to drop off their children at school. The students use the tuition money they have been given to lease a building and try to fake a college atmosphere for their patents. Things get complicated when a hundred other students arrive. The acceptance letter was never taken off the Internet. A nearby college gets suspicious and sends spies over to check it out. B must figure out how to impress his parents, get the girl and just be “Accepted”. The movie is very clever and funny for older teen-agers and young adults. There is drinking, drug use, sexual content and language. The students lie and cheat to fool their parents. The characters all treat each other in a sweet manner and try to help each other. No one is treated as a reject. The students have found a place for themselves where they are accepted for who they are. B makes a heartfelt speech at the end to save the school and get accreditation. Teen-agers old enough to understand the underlying message will enjoy the movie. It is easy to see that this is not a realistic situation but the message is a good one. Why didn’t B apply himself in high school? What qualities does he show when makes he a fake college?
