First, her boyfriend Mark (Michael Sheen) leaves her for an ice-queen colleague (Sonya Walger), just as Portia’s career is poised to advance with the departure of her mentor (Wallace Shawn). If that wasn’t complicated enough, into Portia’s life walks John Pressman (Paul Rudd), the free-spirited dean of an eccentric new-age school. John comes hat in hand asking Portia to personally review the application of a student named Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), a genius savant who has struggled to find his way. At first, buttoned-up Portia wants nothing to do with the kid – but as John begins to share more and more about this unique boy, Portia finds herself questioning the entire college system she’s helped perpetuate for so long.
Based on the novel by Jean Hanff Korelitz, Admission is a pretty successful movie adaptation that manages to capture a good portion of the depth and complexity of its source material – which ultimately results in one strange bird of a film. A character study that’s not afraid to take its time developing its protagonist, narrative and thematic arcs, the movie is probably not what most viewers will expect – but may find pleasantly surprising, thanks in large part to the presence of Tina Fey in the central role.
The story was adapted for the screen by Karen Croner, who hasn’t had a screenwriting credit since One True Thing back in 1998. Admission isn’t just a title, but rather a cornerstone term for what the story is about, thematically speaking: the idea of “letting someone in” (the same double entendre found in the film’s marketing), but also “admission” in the sense of confession; confronting the reality of self.
Tina Fey, Paul Rudd and Nat Wolff in ‘Admission’
The film was directed by Paul Weitz, who – after such a bold and an accomplished launch with American Pie back in 1999 – has been mired in forgettable films like Little Fockers and Cirque du Freak as of late. While not at all as raunchy as Pie, Weitz does manage to infuse Admission with a similar blending of humor and heart – clearly (and wisely) relying on the considerable talents of his leading lady (Fey) to help shape the work. Visually speaking, the film is pretty standard – though there are a few clever sequences and mis-en-scene setups that stand out – most involving the examination of actual college admissions processes, which is conveyed smartly and impeccably in the film.
Tina Fey in ‘Admission’
Of course, Fey is not at all alone in her efforts: Paul Rudd plays… that charming “Aw-shucks” guy he’s known and loved for. His character is well-rounded and interesting, but the film doesn’t go as deep as it could with Pressman, leaving more inferred than explored. Still, Fey and Rudd are a perfect pairing on both the comedy and chemistry front. Watching them onscreen together is like watching puppies at play; even when very little is happening, it is still charming and cute.
Lily Tomlin in ‘Admission’
Admission is a movie to just sit and watch. Not for expectation of comedic payoff (it’s not a gut-buster), not for dramatic catharsis (it’s not that serious), but because it has an interesting, unique story to tell - with interesting, unique characters, played by charming actors you like to watch. The journey isn’t overly thrilling, but it’s not a chore, either. And, when it’s done, you’re left with the feeling that you’ve seen something whole, complete and enjoyable – if not all that memorable (i.e., great matinee viewing). If that sounds good to you, then by all means, apply.
