Accepted will certainly strike a chord with young people undergoing the stresses of university admission; whether anyone else shows an interest will depend on their liking for lighthearted sophomoric fun. Justin Long plays Bartleby Gaines, a high-school slacker who is turned down by all his college choices. Instead of retiring to his bedroom to sulk, he enterprisingly creates a college for himself and his fellow rejects. His university's unorthodox curriculum includes courses on "Doing Nothing" and "How to Blow Stuff Up with Your Mind" - a more useful preparation for life, surely, than the ubiquitous Media Studies. This good-hearted nonsense is carried off with some aplomb by first-time director Steve Pink and his young cast. But, while it's certainly an antidote to the scatological teen-humour seen in EuroTrip and the American Pie franchise, it never quite reaches the heights of its obvious inspiration, John Hughes's classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Pink was screenwriter on John Cusack's Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity; Ann Cusack (John's sister) plays Long's mum here.
