Admission

ComedyDramaRomance108 min

Portia Nathan has built a careful life inside Princeton’s admissions office, where rules and polish matter. Tina Fey is Portia, a by-the-book recruiter whose routine trip to an alternative high school is upended by former classmate John Pressman; Paul Rudd’s John has an easygoing streak. He believes one of his brightest students, the unconventional Jeremiah, may be the son Portia gave up for adoption years earlier. As Portia weighs that possibility against the pressures of elite admissions, campus politics and long-buried choices start to collide.
