Accepted (2006)

Wasn't much of a comedy, but presents an interesting view

[6/10 · 18 December 2006]

As a comedy, this wasn't a great movie. There were some typical gags to be expected, and there were some things that were strained, but winded up failing.

Unrealistic is a good thing to call this movie, but it does present an interesting idea. The entire basis of college as an institute of higher learning has changed. No longer is college the place where we learn what we want to learn. It is now a stepping stone that allows us to move onto a better job. This is unfortunate, but there is very little one can do about it.

The movie is basically a dream-like idea of a rejected high-schooler making college as he sees it. It's a good movie, with some aspects of predictability, but it's worth seeing. Don't expect too much laughter though. It's reminds me of American Pie, only less funny.

In a sentence: The movie is worth seeing, but don't expect lots of laughs.

White Coats (2004)

A decent comedy, but with simple gags

I picked up this movie solely because it was a comedy about doctors and the process interns go through.

Honestly, I laughed a lot, but it's not brilliant comedy or anything. It's simple laughs that have a ring of truth. There are a lot of clichés in the movie that have been exaggerated.

It's not brilliant, but there are some good laughs throughout the movie. There is a definite amount of predictability about the movie, but the situation, and the way it is portrayed somewhat makes up for that fact.

I'm probably going to wind up buying this movie to bring to medical school with me. It'll be something to laugh at when I'm dying with exams. :) In summary: It's a decent movie. Nothing brilliant, but great for laughs, and it rings true for those who are interested in the medical field.
