    • Trivia
      Paul Rudd replaced Owen Wilson.
    • Goofs
      When someone tells Jeremiah to tuck in his shirt he does, but it varies inconsistently between untucked and tucked-in in subsequent shots.
    • Quotes

      Jeremiah: I read everything. I read biographies, mainly because I didn't know how other people live their lives. I think my variations reading came from a deep longing for something that was missing. I was searching for someone, for my story. To not feel so alone.

    Admission — Light comedy about one's options in life
    Admission will make any Tina Fey fan very happy. She's at her best, displaying her very unique style of comedy so well, that you'd think she wrote the script. Paul Rudd might not be at his greatest but he definitively plays his role well. Wallace Shawn is excellent as the dean of admission with just the right tone. Lily Tomlin is also very good, as a very unique mother.

    Nice humor, nice pace, good ideas, and just a little silly.

    The main drawback is that at time, it feels a bit light. Some of the plot items could have been delved a little more to get a better perspective.

    Overall, it's nice entertainment.
