Variety
Sweetly amusing, gently anarchic and never mean-spirited.

Entertainment Weekly
Accepted's winning dumbness and breezy bons mots save it from the pit.

The Hollywood Reporter
After a very funny start, there just isn't enough content to fill the feature-length curriculum.
50
Village Voice
Accepted is an inspired premise in search of a movie: What starts out as a scabrous takedown of academic bureaucracy ends up yet another modestly rousing underdog story about the little slacker that could.

The A.V. Club
The ideal viewer of Accepted probably won't have seen any college comedies before. Or any slobs-vs.-snobs movies like "Caddyshack." For those who have, it's kind of a snore.
