Editorial Reviews

Soundtrack to this summer’s Animal House meets American Pie!

High schooler Bartleby Gaines ("B" to his friends) has gotten nothing but rejection letters from the colleges he has applied to, and his parents are not happy. In desperation, B and his similarly unlucky friends make over an abandoned mental hospital, convince one of their uncles to pose as the dean, and the South Harmon Institute of Technology is born. On the first day of "class," however, dozens of other college rejects show up to enroll, too. B and Co. forge ahead with their functioning—if fake—university, but their effort to keep up the ruse quickly escalates into a battle between the have-nots of South Hamon and the have-snots at a real university nearby.

Accepted is produced by Tom Shadyac (Bruce Almighty) and Michael Bostick and is directed by Steve Pink (writer of High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank in his feature film directorial debut).

5.0 out of 5 stars Final Clarification, September 2, 2006

To set the record straight, BOTH Weezer and Green Day had songs in Accepted called "Holiday," (a coincidence, becuase they are completely different and unrelated songs but both worked well in the movie). For whatever reason, the only one to make it onto the soundtrack was Weezer's song. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could refrain from rating albums 1 star for things like this, even if an error has actually been made. Go ahead and send an e-mail to Amazon and maybe they'll fix it, but please rate the album on its own merits. Speaking of the album, I think it is a good disc that's quite representative of the music choices of the great film, especially the Citizen Cope and Ryan Adams tracks.

I do not own the soundtrack, and I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, (if they have, I apologize for repeating it)but the song from the trailer is "Everything is all right" by Motion City Soundtrack. I was disappointed to see that it was not on the soundtrack. Hope this was helpful

Predictable but fun movie with a great soundtrack. The version of Eleanor Rigby alone makes this CD worth buying - the rest is a bonus.
