Lifetime Television premieres Acceptance, an all – new original comedy about the pressures of the college admissions process. Acceptance stars two time Academy Award nominee Joan Cusack (Working Girl, In & Out) and Mae Whitman (Arrested Development, Independence Day). Acceptance was directed by Sanaa Hamri (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2). The movie is based on the critically acclaimed book Acceptance: A Novel by Susan Coll. The Lifetime Original Movie Acceptance premieres on Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 9 pm ET/PT.
High school student and overachiever Taylor Rockefeller (Mae Whitman) is weathering the storm of her senior year while struggling to cope with the stress of applying to her dream colleges. Her parents are on the verge of a breakup, which complicates her life even further. Taylor’s mother, Nina (Joan Cusack), is focused on Taylor getting into a top school for the sole purpose of meeting a suitable husband. When Taylor decides that the lowly-ranked Yates College is the right choice for her, she and her mom face off over what is really best for her future happiness.
Taylor’s close friends, Harry (Jonathan Keltz, Degrassi: The Next Generation) and Maya (Deepti Daryanani, The Cheetah Girls:
One World), also gunning for admission to top universities, are not above going to extremes in order to be accepted into the schools of their choice.
The three friends and their modern-day, dysfunctional families navigate SAT scores, campus visits and school applications as they try to remain sane during the highly competitive process of college admissions that most American families with high school kids have to face.
