It is neither a broad comedy nor a dopey rom-com; it's actually, surprisingly enough, a seriocomic drama in something resembling the Alexander Payne mold, a slightly eccentric examination of flawed people doing their very best.

The many strands of this amiable yet overstuffed romantic comedy don't hang together, though each, on its own, has a modest charm.

If Fey ends up making movies as good as this one over the next few years, television's loss will have been cinema's gain, for real.

Photographed in fifty shades of beige, Admission is the blandest film I've seen in months.

Because all these narrative threads are presented with equal emphasis, no single one feels fully developed. And Fey and Rudd's screen time together is rushed; audiences don't get the chance to become invested in their characters.

At the heart of the problem with this movie are matters of logic and cogency.

What is most distressing about Admission is that it serves as further evidence that Tina Fey, despite her dominance of the small screen, has not yet mastered the big one.

Admission fizzles out to an almost aggressive extent and finally does conclude on as anticlimactic a note as one could envision...

Granted, this is not automatic laugh-riot material, nor should it be, but didn't Fey recognize how hackneyed it all is?

A romantic dramedy about a passionate erudite oddball woman with her own life? Hooray!

This is certainly an interesting idea, though the movie is badly handicapped by Fey, who must venture beyond her usual snippiness into scenes of genuine poignancy and proves unequal to the task.
