Admission Ratings & Reviews
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It is neither a broad comedy nor a dopey rom-com; it's actually, surprisingly enough, a seriocomic drama in something resembling the Alexander Payne mold, a slightly eccentric examination of flawed people doing their very best.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
At the heart of the problem with this movie are matters of logic and cogency.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The many strands of this amiable yet overstuffed romantic comedy don't hang together, though each, on its own, has a modest charm.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
What is most distressing about Admission is that it serves as further evidence that Tina Fey, despite her dominance of the small screen, has not yet mastered the big one.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This is certainly an interesting idea, though the movie is badly handicapped by Fey, who must venture beyond her usual snippiness into scenes of genuine poignancy and proves unequal to the task.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Granted, this is not automatic laugh-riot material, nor should it be, but didn't Fey recognize how hackneyed it all is?
MSN Movies
Glenn Kenny
If Fey ends up making movies as good as this one over the next few years, television's loss will have been cinema's gain, for real.
Slate
Dana Stevens
This would be a good movie for a parent to watch with a high-school-age child facing down the college admissions slog-it's mildly snarky but resolutely uncynical.
Detroit News
Tom Long
When in doubt, ma'am, just ask yourself: What would Tina Fey do?
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
In their central roles, Rudd and Fey have a natural, unforced chemistry. John and Portia are cute as buttons, but they're also goofy, confused and flawed people.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The commercials make it look like a standard romantic comedy but the plot line about reuniting with a child put up for adoption feels awkward, cluttered, and intrusive.
Time Out Chicago
A.A. Dowd
Thank goodness for Fey, who lends this sitcom soap a credible emotional center.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Only Mr. Rudd emerges unscathed. He protects himself by being consistently affable in the face of heavy odds.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Everybody in "Admission" is funny - Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Lily Tomlin, Wallace Shawn - but they're not funny in "Admission."
NPR
Ella Taylor
Admission settles for skin deep.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A genial, predictable and ultimately forgettable romantic comedy.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Cheerful, skittish entertainment that never takes its subject seriously enough.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Fey and Rudd achieve a couple of comedy mindmelds ... but they're fleeting, as Admission's outlandish contrivances continue to get in the way.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
You could call it a dramedy, I guess, but that manufactured term suggests a blending of the two elements. Here they exist almost as separate genres squeezed into the same movie.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
[Fey and Rudd] are fun to watch, though not as much fun as they might have been in a riskier, crazier movie.
