Film review is one of the topic in my English lesson, thus my teacher decided to let us watched a movie to be reviewed. Starring Justin Long as the lead role, the movie Accepted is a teen comedy directed by Steve Pink.

The story takes place in Wickliffe, a city in lake county, Ohio, and fictional town named Harmon. The story begins with Bartleby Gaines, played by Justin Long, who gets rejected by every university which he enrolled. Pressured by his parents, sister, and people’s comments, he come up with a cunning idea. Bartleby alongside with his friends decide to make a fake university called South Harmon Institute of Technology which then will cause a disaster.

The impossibility that Bartleby and his friends do is what makes this film interesting and amazed the audience. Each character of Bartleby’s friends and the S.H.I.T (South Harmon Institute of Technology) scholars also provide the viewer a good laugh. In spite of this, the film not too educational since it depict people who is not studying hard, instead they look for other ways to achieve their goal with a lie.

To conclude, Accepted is a good comedy movie that has a great storyline. Also, if you want to release stress caused by school, this movie can provide you a good laugh. But before you watch, please note that the movie is fictional. So don’t make a fake university if you get rejected. Just take a gap year and study hard.
