ACCEPTED
IS AVAILABLE TO OWN AND RENT ON DVD FROM 12th FEBRUARY 2007
Bartleby Gaines (Justin
Long – Dodgeball) has just graduated high school and ‘the greatest years of his
life’ beckon as he chooses which College he’ll spend the next four years of his
life becoming a man and a scholar; but there’s one problem….he needs to be
Accepted.
After being rejected from
every college he applied to and with the overbearing pressure from his pushy
parents, Bartleby does what any man would do in his situation, well kind of…
Bartleby needs a plan and
so decides to create the fictitious South Harmon Institute of Technology
(S.H.I.T). Bartleby’s buddy and self-confessed genius, Sherman, quickly creates
the new College’s website to pull the wool over his father’s eyes as he demands
to see if this unknown college is good enough for his boy!
But the deception doesn’t
end there. Bartleby is forced to hire out a dilapidated former psychiatric home
when his father decides he wants to drop him off at his new college. Not only
that, but his father wants to see the college Dean, a beer swilling abusive
drunk, Bartleby recruited to fill the role, but some how, they pull it off!
With the help of his friends and a few hired non-English speaking immigrants,
Bartleby hilariously carries off the scam and his family leaves him on his path
to further education…or so they thought.
The boys sit back and
relax, that is until they have a rowdy rabble of unexpected new students,
mistakenly accepted by the fake college through the fake website! Like
Bartleby, they are the rejects of the American college system – lap dancers,
loonies, skaters and wackos, and they’re ready to party. Bartleby and his
friends decide to offer an alternative education to the new students, all of
whom bring with them a $10,000 cheque for tuition. As the half pipe goes up and
the kegs are opened, S.H.I.T. quickly becomes the hottest ticket in town.
As the new students settle
in to life at S.H.I.T, foul plans are afoot. The mean Dean of the prestigious
(and real) Harmon College just a stone’s throw away, sees this new college as
nothing more than an eye sore and gets his lackie and head of KBE fraternity,
Hoyt Ambrose to get rid of the rival college to make way for an extravagant new
entrance to his college.
The film culminates with
S.H.I.T.’s future in doubt, but Bartleby has other ideas. With an impending
meeting with the state accreditation board, the fate of the students rests with
Bartleby and his true passion for the S.H.I.T. will be tested to the limit.
