Admission

Tina Fey and Paul Rudd star in Admission, a movie about the surprising detours we encounter on the road to happiness. Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman (Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted -- but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having. 

This could have been a great comedy with the talents of Tina Fey, Paul Rudd and Lily Tomlin.  Unfortunately, they overloaded this movie with so much unneccesary heartstring pulling drama that all laughs kind of go by the wayside and the movie ends up being very heavy on the waa-waa and just kind of circles the drain for 2 hours.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  It's really not a comedy.   It's too all over the place to be a legit drama.  It really just doesn't know what it wants to be and is a waste of your time.
