Admission

(2013)

Tina Fey is the one of the brightest female comics, both as a writer and an actress, working today. She really deserves better than this by-the-numbers outing concerning her conflicts as an admissions officer at Princeton, a woman who every day has to dash the hopes of hundreds of applicants. She finds out that one such is the child she gave up for adoption a long time ago. Complications ensue. The most interesting part of the story was the admission process itself. I don’t know how true it is, but if it really is like there, then somewhere on the campus of M.I.T. there’s a file with my name on it, stamped DENIED.
