What Parents Need to Know
About Accepted
Parents need to know that the movie's premise involves students creating a "sham" university and lying to parents and authorities to make a facility for the classes they want to take (which include references to drugs). The made-up school's name is South Harmon Institute of Technology (you can guess the visible acronym). Characters frequently use this word (at least 40 times). The fake dean uses especially colorful language. Students drink beer, smoke cigarettes, and talk about drugs and sex (language includes slang for genitals and sex acts). Stereotypes abound.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the pressures on college applicants to "get in": How might families work together to make this a less-stressful process? How might telling the truth be a more effective way for Bartleby to communicate with his parents? Families could also talk about the stereotyped portrayal of college life; what's it really like to be a college student?

It's okay if you know right from wrong...like me!
I enjoyed this movie as well as my dad when we watched it together, but it was...a bit inappropriate. There was stuff about beer and sex and drinking and repeated swearing. I enjoyed this movie, but I should've waited until I was older to see it.

College
This is a typical teen movie. There's partying, drinking, and craziness. There are funny parts and it shows what you can get into when you lie about getting into a college, that is fake. I really enjoyed this movie.

typical teen movie
your teenager will want to see this, and it won't kill them. i would say this film is for around the same age group as mean girls. the film is not likely to give your teenager any life lessons, but it will keep them entertained at a sleepover. it approaches some kind of a concept with its idea that "everyone has some talent or something to learn/offer" but offers it up in such a way that any kind of message is likely lost in slapstick humor. all the same, theres nothing in the movie that kids of 13+ won't already know, and if you watch it with them, you will likely be laughing as well.

This is the funnyest movie ever! I have seen it like 4 or 5 times! I absolutly love it, and I don't think that the content is a bad as common sense is making out to be. It is very funny, but if the kid is under 9 or 10 years old, then i think that pretty much all of the humor will go over their heads. Over all, this is a funny movie that is fun for teens and adults!

Almost Peed my Pants!!1
this movie was so funny i almost peed my pants. i don't think anyone under the age of 8 should watch this unless you know what they are talking about. if you don't know what they're talking about you might as well not watch it because you wouldn't understand it. but most kids today know what all this crap means.

Hilarious
Me and my friends laughed so hard we almost peed our pants. My dad even went to see it with his best friend, and for some reason they got a kick out of it too. This movie is dumb, this movie is typical, but this movie is hilarious. As many movies as there are where parents shouldn't take their teens ((kids)), this is one where teens shouldn't take their parents.

Most Hillarious Movie of all Time
Bartleby a highschool student played by Justin Long a perfect actor for the part gets rejected by all the colleges he applied for, so creates his own college. He ends up with loads of college students and gets ratted out by his best friend, with his sister figuring him out the whole way.

This is as funny as it gets!
"Accepted is this dumb, yet funny movie about a man named Bartleby Gaines who gets rejected from EVERY college he applies to. He then tries to take the risk of making up a phony college so that his parents wouldn't ground him or something like that. There are a few drug references such as making fake I.Ds. There are also a few profanitized jokes such as the "dean" saying rude stuff to the parents which is offensive, yet funny to mature 4th graders. Overall, NOT appropriate for grade-schoolers. Try seeing it with your kids if you must, just so they don't ask you questions about the sexual jokes and humor.

It kicked my a.
I, being a young adult, enjoyed this movie. I saw it with one of my friends and we were both highly amused. It does have some crude humor and offensive language, but let's face it. In today's society, if your child goes one day without hearing an f-word, that's amazing. I recently graduated high school, and what you hear in the halls of a public school is about the same as this movie. Furthermore, for any parents who think their child will take to the idea of starting their own college, I highly doubt this will happen. If you like crude humor, this will give you a good laugh.

Had Hoped I'd Be Laughing More!
I found I didn't care much about most of the characters. It was a great idea for a movie, too bad the writing wasn't better. Reminded me of an Animal House remake.

Overall Funny Movie
This was a really funny movie, although it did have some language and drug references. There was also the problem that they were tricking there parents, which isn't always a good idea, but they were just trying to please them in the end. This is a great movie for a group of friends, it isn't very brain stimulating but a great movie to laugh at.
