'Admission' Review Roundup: Critics Like Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, Not Much Else

by | March 22nd, 2013

Admission, starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, is this week's big new comedy – unless a movie Rob Schneider and the ShamWow guy made together called inAPPropriate Comedy turns out to be much better than it sounds. While the reviews for Admission are faring a lot better than those for inAPPropriate Comedy, they're still pretty mixed. Review aggregators Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic gave Admission 46% and 49%, respectively, with most critics praising Tina Fey and Paul Rudd while sleighting everything else about the movie.

Directed by Paul Weitz (About a Boy, Little Fockers) and based on the book of the same name by Jean Hanff [...]

Paul Rudd and Tina Fey to Pair Up and Give Us All Love Overdose Heart Attacks

So what is going to happen when they star in a movie together as each other's LOVE INTERESTS? It's looking like we'll find out with Admission, a "dramatic comedy" in which Fey will play an Ivy League admissions officer, Rudd will play her former college classmate, and we will play Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You" over and over in our bedrooms as we stare at the poster for this movie and cry.

The special was based on a show at the UCB Theatre in New York that Amy Miles and Amy Poehler ran, in which actors would reenact a movie live on stage while a band played the soundtrack. Here's a bit from the interview, in which Fey and Rudd discuss their reenactment of John Hughes's Sixteen Candles:

First Trailer for 'Admission': Finally, Tina Fey and Paul Rudd Make a Movie Together

by | November 16th, 2012

Here's the new trailer for a comedy called Admission that stars Tina Fey as a Princeton admissions officer and Paul Rudd as a guy who has some shocking news for her. Admission was directed by Paul Weitz (About a Boy, American Dreamz) and also stars Lily Tomlin, Michael Shannon, and Wallace Shawn. It comes out on March 8, 2013, which sounds way farther away than it really is. This is Tina Fey's first movie in three years (since 2010's Date Night) because she's been busy with 30 Rock and that whole "raising a family" thing. It's Paul Rudd's billionth move in the last year. Not that I'm complaining; he's [...]
