This film is already getting a ton of good conversations. The blog world is talking this film up! I have heard many good thoughts on Tina Fey and Paul Rudd in Admission. I really liked Paul Rudd when he played a boyfriend to one of the girls daughter's in the show Sisters. He was so cute in Clueless and every film he has been in. I am glad to see him so active in the film industry.
Tina Fey is a favorite too, Date Night was so funny especially because I live in New Jersey where the lived. And I am not far from Princeton so this is a film top on the list.
Make a date this weekend to go see Admission. Spring is holding off and snow is still flurrying about, so stay inside and go to see it. I participated in a #AdmisionChat tonight on Twitter. It was trending, that means it is popular, and the conversation was moving. You had to keep up with the party there were so many tweets about this film tonight. Good movie buzz for Admission.

ADMISSION – Friday March 22, 2013
Tina Fey (30 Rock) and Paul Rudd (This is 40) are paired for the first time on-screen in ADMISSION, the new comedy/drama directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Weitz (About a Boy, In Good Company), about the surprising detours we encounter on the road to happiness.
Every spring, high school seniors anxiously await letters of college admission that will affirm and encourage their potential. At Princeton University, admissions officer Portia Nathan (Tina Fey) is a gatekeeper evaluating thousands of applicants. Year in and year out, Portia has lived her life by the book, at work as well as at the home she shares with Princeton professor Mark (Michael Sheen). When Clarence (Wallace Shawn), the Dean of Admissions, announces his impending retirement, the likeliest candidates to succeed him are Portia and her office rival Corinne (Gloria Reuben). For Portia, however, it’s business as usual as she hits the road on her annual recruiting trip.
On the road, Portia reconnects with her iconoclastic mother, Susannah (Lily Tomlin). On her visit to New Quest, an alternative high school, she then reconnects with her former college classmate, idealistic teacher John Pressman (Paul Rudd) – who has recently surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), a gifted yet very unconventional New Quest student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption years ago while at school. Jeremiah is about to apply to Princeton.
Now Portia must re-evaluate her personal and professional existences, as she finds herself bending the admissions rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the future she thought she always wanted – and in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.
