Details: Product Description Tina Fey ( Date Night, 30 Rock) and Paul Rudd ( I Love You Man, Knocked Up) star in Admission, the new film directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Weitz ( About a Boy), about the surprising detours we encounter on the road to happiness. Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman (Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted -- but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having. ---------- «ADMISSION» Tina Fey («Date Night», «30 Rock») et Paul Rudd («I Love You Man», «Knocked Up») sont en vedette dans Admission de Paul Weitz (sélectionné aux OSCARS® pour «About a Boy»), un film portant sur les détours surprenants que le destin nous fait prendre sur la route du bonheur. Portia Nathan, la responsable très coincée des admissions de lâ Université de Princeton, est prise au dépourvu lorsqu elle effectue une visite de recrutement dans une école alternative dirigée par son ancien camarade de classe, le libre-penseur John Pressman (Rudd). Pressman soupçonne que Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), un étudiant doué, mais atypique, pourrait bien être le fils que Portia a secrètement donné en adoption, il y a plusieurs années. Peu à peu, Portia se met à contourner les règles en faveur de Jeremiah, mettant en péril la vie quâ elle croyait avoir toujours désirée mais elle trouvera au passage un chemin vers une vie et une histoire dâ amour aussi surprenantes quâ enivrantes, quâ elle nâ aurait jamais rêvé vivre. Amazon.ca To describe Tina Fey's character in Admission as a "Liz Lemon type" wouldn't be completely accurate. Portia Nathan, her Princeton admissions officer, exhibits fewer nerd tendencies than Fey's 30 Rock producer, but her professional life also trumps her personal one. Though she has a longtime boyfriend (Michael Sheen), he treats her more like a pal than a partner, and her relationship with her radical mother (Lily Tomlin) has always been rocky, but on a visit to an alternative high school to recruit applicants, her staid world undergoes a profound shift. First, she meets educator John Pressman (Paul Rudd), a college acquaintance who has also struggled to distinguish himself from his family, and then she meets Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), a self-taught genius with poor grades and high test scores. John believes Jeremiah deserves a place at Princeton--and that he's the child she gave up for adoption 18 years before. Portia struggles to avoid favoritism, while giving Jeremiah a chance at an Ivy League education and convincing her boss (Wally Shawn) that she deserves to lead the admissions department over her passive-aggressive colleague (Gloria Reuben). To complicate matters further, she finds herself attracted to John, a single father with an adopted son. The conclusion combines the expected with the unforeseen, a trademark of In Good Company director Paul Weitz, who wrings more tears from Jean Hanff Korelitz's novel than laughs, but Fey keeps Portia sympathetic even as she makes a few moral miscalculations en route to a new and different future. --Kathleen C Fennessy
