Lesser Known Movies you must watch - 3

Accepted

Rated PG-13

The third movie that we are going to present is entirely different from the earlier 2 Genre’s that we selected which were more towards Thriller/Suspense. This is a light Comedy movie but surely with a sweet message hidden in it. This movie has been remade in other languages including Hindi due to its sheer dialogues, writing and screenplay.

This story is about a guy who is very smart and likes a girl next door but couldn’t really convey his feelings… Not really 😊. What would happen if you get rejected from every Graduation School you have applied in? You will try next year or will go for community colleges or open college education but that’s not what Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long) does. He does the most unimaginable thing that is creating his own fake institution with help of his techie friend but only to shut-down his parents constant nagging of having no future if you don’t go to college. The institution he creates is nothing but an abandoned psychiatric facility only to realize that his college has accepted lot of students like him who were rejected by the other colleges.

In this situation ideally Bartleby should have told everyone the truth but when he sees these students he realizes that they deserve a future like any other college students (also with the million dollars in his pocket to fund anything that may be required) he decides to go ahead with the entire façade of keeping South Harmon Institute of Technology as a real educational body.

Now the comedy of errors starts where Bartleby appoints his friend Sherman’s (Jonah hill) eccentric uncle as dean. Ensuring that the college looks as real as it can be, he creates his college newspaper (the S.H.I.T ) and a mascot (Sandwich) . He goes to an extent where he asks the students to tell what they want to learn on a giant board and gets totally unexpected response from them which range from all sort of activities like meditation, sculpting etc.

With the college running in full force hits a bump when the Harmon institute of technology college Dean appoints one of his best student Hoyt (Travis Wrinkle) to acquire and free-up the nearby college properties to build a big park, but when he realizes that that he will be unable to convince Bartleby to give up his college property, Hoyt decides to expose the college as fake. Hoyt even shame Sherman who was keen to join his group at Harmon institute and obtains the fake file of colleges from him.

Will he be able to run the institution and if yes, who would teach these students?  What would they be taught? Where would all the first-year money be spent? With so much of excitement we would recommend this move as a must watch.
