Warning: Spoilers
When a kid can't get into college and shames his family he has his friend create a website for a fake college. His parents insist on driving him there, so he has to find an abandoned building and make it look like a college. His parents insist on meeting the Dean so the kid must find a crazy guy to pretend to be the dean. His friends help him out and all goes well until he realizes that the website looked so real that 300 students applied and all got in and now they are there expecting to be in college. This kid is wise and leads them on and it becomes a one in a million learning experience for these kids, but obviously the truth must soon surface, but these kids will fight for their college..fake or not.

I figured this would be some garbage teenage movie that made no sense and was aimed at airheads...OK so it was to a point, but it had heart and was a real good feel good comedy. I found myself loving the story, loving the laughs and loving the cast. It was silly and way out there, but it's a comedy and not meant to be taken that serious. The rock music was fitting and worked well too.

Actors here were all good minus two. I can not stand that fat kid Jonah Hill, I think he ruins movies when he is in them. I also think Lewis Black is very annoying and I can't handle much of him, but he wasn't present here too much. Justin Long was the star and I like Justin and think he did a really good job, Travis Van Winkle played the snobby frat boy here and did a great job too. Travis is a good guy and he was playing such an opposite of what he is like in person. The true star here was Robin Lord Taylor, I loved that kid he was funny and just perfect, I would love to see him become a superstar, he did so great.

I laughed and loved this movie and would watch it again and often, 7 out of 10 stars.
