help Accepted FAQ
What is the fake college in Accepted called?
The students invent the South Harmon Institute of Technology, and the acronym it spells supplies many of the film's running jokes. They set it up in a shuttered building to fool Bartleby Gaines's parents after every real college rejects him.
Who is in the cast of Accepted?
Justin Long leads as Bartleby, with Jonah Hill in one of his early film roles and Blake Lively also appearing. Comedian Lewis Black plays the unorthodox 'dean' who ends up lecturing the students.
Who directed Accepted, and when did it come out?
Steve Pink directed the film, which was released in August 2006. Pink was previously known as the co-writer of High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank before stepping into the director's chair.
Is Accepted based on a true story?
No, the plot is fictional, though it satirizes very real anxieties about college admissions, tuition, and diploma mills. It earned a modest US gross reportedly in the low tens of millions against a roughly $23 million budget, then found a long afterlife on cable.
