<p>YouTube</a> - 21 Movie Trailer - First Look</p>
<p>Check this new movie coming out. It's based on the MIT Blackjack Team:</p>
<p>MIT</a> Blackjack Team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>Last time I checked, it doesn't cost $300,000 to attend MIT. This movie will give people to perception that MIT is too expensive.</p>
<p>It looks really good, but yeah, that's a little bogus.</p>
<p>this movie seems pretty cool...I'm def going to see it :-D!</p>
<p>Another thing I noticed in the trailer I saw at the movies (not in this one, though; maybe they caught on and took it out): they say that the guy has a 4.0 GPA at MIT. That's only a B average; MIT uses a 5 point scale. That bothered me. :)</p>
<p>EDIT: I still want to see it, though. :)</p>
<p>FYI Friedrice -You are incorrect. The Main character is raising money for Harvard grad school in fact he is raising money to pay for Harvard Med school that is what the $300, 000. is all about. Check out the trailer he jots this down in his notebook which is labeled clearly at the top of the page.</p>
<p>Why wouldn't they just go to Atlantic City? LOL.</p>
<p>I want to see this.</p>
<p>Who cares what school be it Harvard or MIT lol. I just wanna see it! :D</p>
<p>May I direct you towards Legally Blonde? I think that may win the title of "Most Innacurate [college based] Movie Ever." Although Accepted may give LB a run for its money...</p>
<p>Hey i thought Legally Blonde was very accurate :p</p>
<p>Clearly Armageddon was one of the most innacurate movies ever. At least the substance of 21 and legally blonde is plausible. Armageddon just flat out had stuff that could not happen.</p>
<p>Mechales specifically said college based. And besides, there are tons of movies that are more innacurate than Armageddon. Take for example Transformers (space robots attacking earth), Harry Potter (magic?), Back to the future (messing with the fabric of space and time) and finally Mr. Mcgoriam's Wonder Emporium (Dustan Hoffman ruining his legecy...oh wait, that DID happen...)</p>
<p>What's inaccurate about Accepted? It may be preposterous and ridiculous, but it doesn't make it inaccurate because it's not supposed to be based on anything true in the first place.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say 21's primary focus is college (it's related to a college student). It's about beating Vegas.</p>
<p>I guess the context I was working in was movies that try to give the impression that they could happen in our universe around our time period. Obviously Harry Potter and Transformers did not take that approach. Back to the Future is closer to the blurry line. But I would say Armageddon was either right on that line or on the side of movies trying to be "possible." The Day After Tomorrow fits in a similar category. </p>
<p>Now if you want a real movie that sits on the blurry line, check out Primer.</p>
<p>Ack, I watched Armageddon with a bunch of MIT students and it was unbearably painful.</p>
<p>Yeah, Armageddon is the movie which makes me want to study in MIT</p>
<p>In my physics class we actually do a semi-weekly "movie physics" day to determine if scenes from movies are somewhat plausible. Needless to say, most aren't.</p>
