Zugelassen – Gib der Liebe eine Chance (2013)

Zugelassen – Gib der Liebe eine Chance: Directed by Paul Weitz. With Tina Fey, Ann Harada, Ben Levin, Dan Levy. A Princeton admissions officer who is up for a major promotion takes a professional risk after she meets a college-bound alternative school kid who just might be the son she gave up years ago in a secret adoption.

“I love Tina Fey and Paul Rudd never gets old either (literally and metaphorically). The movie itself has quite a few flaws though. Never sure if it is a comedy or a drama. Walking that line was never going to be easy and it stumbles more than a few times. Tina and Paul do their best to keep it on tracks.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe kid actors are pretty decent, but donu0026#39;t have much to go through in their arks. Of course the movie is about lost love and about family in general. But even those things are not mixed in the right mixture. There is either too much of something or too little of another thing. A shame that the talent and the massive effort on Tinas part does not really get the movie it would deserve.”
