ok, since I was asked

Accepted

It's a comedy about setting up a fake university to cover up from being rejected from university. While it's in the genre of a guys film, it's a lot smarter than that and is as non-exploitative of women as might be possible within the limits of the category. The film is really much more about guys accepting each other's weaknesses, and while it's true the sexy girl goes with the POV agent, she does so more because she learns to reject a consumer mentality. It sounds fake, but this is a case of the female making an intelligent conscious choice. So it's quasi-feminist, sort of, maybe, I don't know - have another beer.

But it's got a good vibe and a great soundtrack. A killer performance by Lewis Black as the washed-up professor, the lead male is great (his character is called "Bartleby Gaines" get it - the bartleby's [Melville] Gain - by preferring not to do what everyone else tells them to].

Also keep an eye out for Hannah Marks, who plays the little sister, since that girl is gonna be a star.

I didn't even know they did a remake.
When I was around 12 and was babysitting, my brothers used to always call and ask if I have "checked the children."   ::)  :)

more In Living color

clutches the pearls what a devious thing to do

no film2000 review... I just give it two snaps in a circle.
But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

Stealing Beauty

Forgot what a sweat movie this was and really enjoyed the beautiful cinematography.
