Admission is so terrible, I don’t even know where to begin. I had just a few days before seen the horrible Ginger and Rosa, to which I went with somewhat hopeful expectations and from which I came away disappointed in every way. Well, I went to see Admission with almost no positive expectations, and I still came away totally devastated by its awfulness. So I guess that makes it worse than horrible.

This film is not the slightest bit funny or interesting. The characters and their actions make no sense, and the screenplay is random recyclings of hackneyed shit from other bad movies. The two stars (Tina Fey and Paul Rudd) are just thrown together for marketing critical mass despite the fact that the simplest screen test would have shown they have zero chemistry. The film’s message (upper-middle class white women must sacrifice their lives to motherhood to have any shot at happiness) is insulting to women and is further evidence of the relentless baby propaganda emanating from Hollywood. And lastly, the music sucks.

This is the first film that Paul Rudd could not save, but that’s no mark against him – nothing could save writing this bad.

And our cinematically horrendous 2013 continues …
