Language:
English
Cast: Tina
Fey, Gloria Reuben, Paul Rudd.
Story: A Staff
on the admissions committee at Princeton finds out that an applicant might be
the son she had given up for adoption years ago and struggles with the
admission decision.
Screenplay and
direction: The direction is okay and screenplay is good.
Performances:
Tina Fey is amazing, and I have always been a fan, in the romantic scenes
however she seems out of her element. Paul Rudd is great; the rest of the cast
plays their part well.
Interesting:
Even tough it stars Paul Rudd and Tina Fey the movie is not a comedy but a
drama, and for a drama it has more than sufficient comedy.
USP: It’s not a head ache trying to hard comedy, sometimes
funny.
Downside: Expectations
of comedy due to the lead actor’s reputation may depress the audience, the
premise itself is not very inreseting, not many care for the admission process
of universities.
Verdict: The
movie is a decent attempt at drama by the two actors, unfortunately its nothing
special. I personally felt a bit disappointed but all in all it was not too
bad. The comedy rolls in on its own, nothing forced, but too little to keep the
movie from dragging. The main premise according to me is the real killer, having
said that, the movie was respectable. They should have let Fey write the
dialogues or even the story. 6/10
