The Top 10 reasons "Accepted" (the film about a guy that makes a phony college) was not the #1 movie at the box office this past weekend:
-No snakes.
-No plane.
-The scenes with Samuel L. Jackson yelling 4-letter words were cut.
-Many patrons thought they would be accepted no matter what, and were disheartened to find that they would not be admitted without purchasing a ticket first.
-When people offered ideas over the internet on what they would like to see, the studio gave the production only 3 hours for reshoots.
-The plot is a rip-off of a 1994 Disney film, "Camp Nowhere" starring Christopher Lloyd, except in this case the protagonists concoct a phony college instead of a phony summer camp.
-Conspiracy theorists, Star Trek and Star Wars fanatics, Civil War reenactors, and oil company executives, not feeling any acceptance, found the title to be misleading.
-It's anti-intellectual, anti-learning slant meant that commercials for the film could not be shown on PBS.
-A college education in America is almost completely unaffordable, hense many Americans viewed this film as fantasy/science fiction.
-Tom Cruise spoke highly of the film.
