Admission (2013 Paul Weitz)

Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Wallace Shawn, Michael Sheen, Lily Tomlin, Nat Wolff (the prodigy).


Despite being entirely predictable (you know Sheen's having an affair within seconds, for example) I thoroughly enjoyed this nonsense. Thinking he's her son, Fey tries to get Wolff into Princeton where she is an admissions officer.

My only thought is that the film is over-edited (compare to a true classic like Miracle of Morgan's Creeks with its many long takes) and this also makes you wonder if the film or performances are being 'saved' in some way through the cutting.
