Admission movie: Domestic Box office bomb Paul Rudd hasn't been at all lucky at the Us/Canada box office. His latest star vehicle, the Paul Weitz-directed (About a Boy, In Good Company) comedy Admission, co-starring 30 Rock's Tina Fey, is his most recent box-office flop, following the costly James L. Brooks / Reese Witherspoon comedy How Do You Know ($30.21m), Jesse Peretz's Our Idiot Brother ($24.81m domestic), and David Wain / Jennifer Aniston's Wanderlust ($17.45m), plus Judd Apatow's commercial disappointment This Is 40 ($67.54m). (Pictured above: The likable Paul Rudd in the un-liked Admission.) Weitz's film pulled in an estimated $6.44 million at 2,160 Us and Canada sites this weekend (March 22 - 24), as per studio figures found on the web site Box Office Mojo. That's represents Rudd's second worst wide-release debut ever (movie screening at more than 1,000 venues), trailing only another comedy, Jeff Lowell's Over Her Dead Body, starring / Lake Bell and Eva Longoria, »

Admission

Directed by: Paul Weitz

Cast: Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Nat Wolff, Lily Tomlin

Running Time: 1 hr 57 mins

Rating: PG-13

Release Date: March 22, 2013

Plot: An admissions officer at Princeton University named Portia (Fey) has her boring life challenged when she meets John (Rudd), a teacher at a freethinking school in New Hampshire. Portia also learns that one of John’s most promising students (Wolff) is applying to Princeton, and may also be her long lost son.

Who’S It For? If you’re a fan of Fey, this is a questionable matinee at best. Rudd-lovers might as well stay home and watch him in any other romantic comedy. The two as a duo certainly isn’t enough to guarantee that seeing this film would be worth it.

Overall

Here is a movie with a lot of school spirit for Princeton, but no strong spirit of its own. While it could »
