Admission
Admission is a 2013 American romantic comedy-drama film on Blu-ray starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd.
A Princeton admission officer's life unravels as her 18-year-old secret, that she had a baby boy whom she gave up for adoption, emerges. Straitlaced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Tina Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the freewheeling John Pressman (Paul Rudd).
Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted – but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.
Critic Reviews:
- " Tina Fey and Paul Rudd are Hollywood's comedy sweethearts " – Sarah Gopaul
- " A romantic dramedy about a passionate erudite oddball woman with her own life? Hooray! " – MaryAnn Johanson
- " A perfectly serviceable, star-led romance, Admission is also proof that some actors are just fun to watch in anything (which here extends to the supporting cast as well as the leads). " – Rob Daniel
